Control of bacterial infections restores well-being and health

Keeping dogs and cats healthy is an ongoing challenge for their owners. The bacteria these animals frequently come into contact with can exploit their immunological vulnerability, resulting in significant injury. “It is important to always be attentive and, in case of any change, immediately seek veterinary clinical assistance, maintaining the well-being and comfort of pets”, explains the veterinarian, Technical and Marketing Manager for Companion Animals at Vetoquinol Saúde Animal, Jaime Dias.

Among health changes, respiratory diseases can be frequently observed in dogs and cats and manifest themselves mildly or evolve into more serious conditions, such as pneumonia. The lung microbiota plays an important role in maintaining respiratory health, however, its imbalance can be caused by different factors, such as reduced immunity, which contributes to the onset of diseases.

Respiratory illnesses are responsible for some symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, decreased appetite and prostration. Some bacteria may be more frequently responsible for these lesions. This is the case of Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus sp It is Streptoccus sp.. “Clinical evaluation and examinations conducted by a veterinarian are very important for the correct diagnosis. Among the treatment strategies is the use of antibiotics, which should only be used with a prescription”, advises the veterinarian.

The improper and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, in fact, is one of the main health concerns of the World Health Organization (WHO). The agency warns that, by 2050, the adaptation of bacteria and their resistance to the main antibiotics will be the causes of death for around 10 million people per year. “Awareness campaigns about the correct use of medicines, complete and uninterrupted treatment and with due medical guidance, are capable of changing this situation for the better”, warns the Vetoquinol manager.

In its extensive catalog of solutions that ensure the health of dogs and cats, the French company presents Clavaseptin P, an antibiotic that is extremely effective against bacteria that afflict pets. In addition to its functionality, Clavaseptin P has the easy to give seal, from the British institution International Society of Feline Medicine (IFSM), for its palatability, which results in ease of administration and efficiency in controlling infections.
