| Bartô em foto tirada ontem 29/11/2011 Bartô in picture taken yesterday 11/29/2011 |
Bartô não nasceu aqui, mas tem nossa linha de sangue. Ele nos foi enviado aos 9 anos de idade e foi recebido com muita alegria em julho de 2011. Chegou apresentando uma diarréia discreta que desapareceu em dois dias com o uso de probiótico. Atribuímos o quadro ao stress da viagem. Dois meses após, Bartô começou a apresentar uma diarréia muito severa. O exame das fezes não mostrou parasitas (estava vermifugado). O exame de sangue mostrou uma baixa da albumina (proteína) e uma leucocitose (indicador de uma infecção bacteriana). O tratamento com o antibiótico metronidazol (Flagyl) não surtiu efeito e o antibiótico foi trocado sem resultado. Passou a usar a ração "Sensible" da Royal Canin. O quadro se arrastou por 33 dias apesar da medicação e da ração terapêutica. Quando decidimos substituir a ração pela comida caseira, a diarréia parou imediatamente, após a primeira refeição com a nova dieta. Sua dietoterapia é baseada na Medicina Chinesa. Seguimos paralelamente com o uso do antibiótico. Um mês após a introdução da nova dieta, Bartô ganhou peso, houve melhora na pelagem, a dosagem da albumina melhorou, subindo de 1.8 para 2.0 g/dL (normal entre 2.3 - 3.8 g/dL). A leucocitose desapareceu.
Bartô segue acompanhado pelo dr Claudio Zagha, nosso veterinário clínico.
Amanhã ele vai começar a fitoterapia, prescrita por nosso veterinario Dr William Estellai.
Bartô wasn't born here, but comes from our bloodline. He was sent to us at 9 years old with much joy in our kennel at July/2011. He arrived presenting a mild diarrhea that disappeared in 2 days with the use of probiothic. We attributed it to the stress of travelling to us. Two months after, Bartô had a severe diarrhea. Laboratory tests did not show any parasites at feces (he was dewarmed), but the blood showed low albumin (protein) and leucocitosys (indicating a bacterian infection). He was treated by metronidazol (Flagyl) with no result. It was changed for another antibiotic and we begin to feed him medical K9 food called "Sensible" of Royal Canin. The diarrhea went on for 33 days despite medication and the prescribed food. When we changed the dry food to the home made food, he stopped diarrhea immediately. His dietotherapy is based on Chinese Medicine. He went on with the antibiotic. Now, after beeing fed only home made food for 1 month, his general health is much better, the fur more soft, and laboratory tests showed improvement of the albumin level in blood from 1.8 to 2.0 g/dL (normal between 2.3 - 3.8 g/dL). Leucocitosys disappeared.
Bartô is followed up clinicaly by our vet Dr Claudio Zagha.
He will begin phytoterapy tomorow morning, prescribed by our vet Dr William Estellai.
