Canine Infectious Hepatitis is a Class 2 infectious, parasitic disease that occurs mainly in puppies up to the age of 1 year and is rarely and mostly insidious in adult dogs. The clinical presentation of the dog is similar to that of distemper, with depression, loss of appetite, significantly increased water intake, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, blood in the faeces, vomiting and a temperature of up to 41°C. Bleeding or spotting of the gums and mouth, signs of transient keratitis, unilateral keratitis, cloudy blue corneas, ulcers, and in severe cases, corneal perforation are common. The mucous membranes are pale or yellowish, and the tonsils and generalised lymph nodes are swollen. As soon as you notice similar symptoms in your dog, take him to the doctor for professional treatment and care. Don’t ignore the slightest problem that occurs in your pet.
