Symptoms and Diagnosis

PRODUCT CODE AN211 Fungal Infection - Cryptococcosis Set of 2 For all species and ages. 7 Pages Related Products : Last Updated: 13.04.18 Cryptococcosis is the most common fungal disease in dogs and should be an important differential diagnosis when an animal presents with sneezing and nasal discharge that is unresponsive to antibiotics. Fungal infection is one of the biggest misdiagnosed or overlooked condition in animals. The four primary systems affected are the respiratory, central nervous, ocular, and cutaneous systems. Dogs are not infected by C. neoformans nearly as often as their feline counterparts. The prevalence in dogs is.00013%, as compared to cats that are 7-10 times more likely to be infected. The average age of infected dogs is 3.5 years and, unlike cats, there is no gender predisposition. Overrepresented dog breeds include American Cocker Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers in North America, and Doberman Pinschers and Great Danes in Australia. Cryptococcosis affects the same four organ systems as with cats, but the CNS and eyes are more commonly involved in dogs than in cats. The clinical signs are similar to those found in cats except that fever (103-105 F) is seen more often in affected dogs (25% of cases). Symptoms and Diagnosis Symptoms of cryptococcus vary depending on the organ systems affected by the fungus. Often, symptoms are systemic and nonspecific, such as diminished appetite, weight loss, or lethargy. Other signs to watch for in your cat or dog are sniffling, sneezing, raspy breathing, or a runny nose. Sometimes infected animals can have hard lumpy swellings over the bridge of the nose, skin lesions on the top of the head, or swollen lymph nodes. If the fungus has invaded the central nervous system, there can be head tilting, nystagmus (a strange, abnormal back and forth eye movement), the inability to blink due to paralysis of the facial nerves, or loss of coordination, including circling and seizures. Eye problems are also very common and can include hemorrhage in the retina, as well as inflammatory conditions of the eye like chorioretinitis and anterior uveitis. Diagnosis of a cryptococcal infection can be done quickly and easily through examination of either discharge from the kitty s nose or skin lesions. The fungus is usually very easy to spot under a microscope and is easily cultured in the laboratory. HAMPL remedies prove very effective as an anti - fungal solution and if needed we also support a retina remedy for repair eye damages if no too far damaged without any side affects of the general conventional methods that normally are given. E.G (Product 185) Uveitis remedies (Intraocular Inflammation inflammation of the uvea of the eye) combined with the Glaucoma remedy) 1

The infection is caught from a cat's environment, and along with uveitis it is not limited to affecting the eye. The problems associated with this infection are: peripheral blindness detached retinas inflamed retinas nasal discharge skin lesions behavioral changes Fungal - Yeast Infections in general Importance of restoring and maintaining beneficial bacteria, the so-called "friendly flora" in the intestines. These bacteria are killed off by chlorine in your water supply, by Veterinary or Doctor s anti-biotics, by preservatives in food and by alcohol, and by other factors. When the beneficial bacteria are gone, "bad" bacteria, molds, and yeasts (also known as Candida) can then rage out-of-control. Immune system overload, malnutrition, skin and ear problems, and many other problems shortly follow this. Afflicted by candidiasis, the hidden curse. Candiasis, an overgrowth of yeast (Candida) in the body, can be a key contributing factor in causing or worsening: * Food allergies * Digestive problems * Sensitivity to tobacco and odors * Other immune-related disorders, yeast infection in ear! * Headaches * Depression * Cancer * AIDS * Skin rashes * Joint and muscle pain * extreme fatigue (known as CFS in humans) The key to overcoming many such conditions is to undo the actions which caused them to occur in the first place, while restoring balance to the body. Avoiding.. all dairy (goats milk is fine), yeast products and foods, avoiding antibiotics (using alternative herbal infection fighters if needing antibiotics) 2

The gastrointestinal tract's balance of beneficial flora is most commonly disrupted by: * Antibiotic usage * Excessive sugar consumption * Stress * Drinking chlorinated water * A diet consisting chiefly of processed tin foods * Prescription anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers * A diet high in red meats or rich, fatty foods. Many people and animals lack sufficient friendly bacteria in their digestive tracts, and are often overrun with unfriendly bacteria and yeasts at the same time. These people/animals are in fact being simultaneously poisoned and starved (malnourished). The effects of the imbalance of intestinal flora are all too often seen in the failing health and vitality of millions of middle-aged and elderly individuals. However, if you have had antibiotics, a high stress level, have been exposed to chlorinated water, or have any of the signs or symptoms of ill health below, you may have a bacterial imbalance beyond the ability of such foods to resolve. If you or pet have: * Chronic fatigue * Frequent diarrhea * Frequent intestinal gas * Frequent constipation * Poor immune response * Chronic bladder infections * Chronic vaginal infections * Allergies * Skin conditions (e.g skin odour (fungal), red, itchy, dry, scaly, sores, loss of fur due to excessive scratching. * Rapid onset of osteoporosi * Vitamin B deficiencies * Dairy product sensitivities * Chronic bad breath 3
