Key points for the prevention and treatment of canine brucellosis:

1. Strengthen the quarantine of dogs. Serum agglutination test can be done. The frequency is recommended to be twice a year. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the quarantine and epidemic prevention of brucellosis not only for dogs, but also for dog breeders or owners.

2. Conduct bacterial isolation and culture and serum agglutination test on miscarriage dogs to find out the cause of miscarriage.

3. Dogs that have been cured must not be used as breeding dogs, and it is best to eliminate sick dogs directly to prevent infection of humans and other dogs.

4. Thoroughly disinfect kennels, sports venues and feeding and management equipment contaminated by sick dogs. You can use 10% lime milk, 2-5% bleaching powder solution or hot alkaline water. The aborted fetus, placenta, and amniotic fluid need to be properly disinfected or buried deeply.

Clinical characteristics of canine brucellosis:

Most sick dogs lack obvious clinical symptoms, and some dogs may be listless, emaciated, and lame. and vomiting, etc., but such symptoms can actually be caused by many diseases. Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose based solely on clinical symptoms. The diagnosis must be confirmed by isolation of pathogenic bacteria and serological testing. In addition, pregnant female dogs often have asymptomatic abortions in late pregnancy, and there are also cases of abortion and lymphadenopathy in early pregnancy. Pneumonia, endocarditis and hepatitis can be detected in aborted stillbirths. Male dogs may be complicated by epididymitis, orchitis, testicular atrophy, prostatitis and scrotal dermatitis, etc. Owners may find that dogs often lick the scrotal skin.
