19 DOG DISEASES Vaccinate your dog to protect it from these diseases Rabies - A fatal viral infection of the Central Nervous System that affects mammals, including humans. It is spread through the saliva of a rabid animal. Distemper - A highly contagious, often fatal - virus that affects a dog's respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. The distemper virus generally spreads as an air-borne infection, so vaccination is the only effective control. Hepatitis - A very serious viral disease that affects the liver and cells lining the blood vessels. Symptoms of the disease are high fever, edema and hemorrhage. Leptospirosis - Can cause permanent kidney damage in your dog. It's a very contagious disease that is spread from infected animals to healthy ones by contact with nasal secretions, urine or saliva. Symptoms of lepto are inflamed kidneys, fever, vomiting and diarrhea. Lyme Disease - Caused by bacteria and is carried by ticks. Characterized by swelling of joints and pain in standing and moving, typically with a low-grade fever. Antibiotics are used to treat the disease. A vaccine is available that has not been widely tested. It is unclear whether it is safe to vaccinate dogs for Lyme disease. Parvovirus - Is a highly contagious viral infection that strikes quickly and often causes immediate death. It is particularly severe in puppies and young dogs. A bloody diarrhea is a symptom of parvovirus. The NYS 4-H Dog Program recommends that all dogs involved in NYS 4-H Programs be immunized (as appropriate to their age) against distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis & parvovirus yearly. Bordetella & parainfluenza virus vaccines are also recommended annually for show dogs or dogs that come in contact with other dogs on a regular basis. Exhibitors should consult their own veterinarian for further information about these vaccines as well as internal & external parasite control programs.
