[fluffybelly]

Can you give us idea unsa na sya? and unsay hinundan why magka Amoebiasis ang dog?

usually bacteria na xa nga makuha sa hugaw nga water...ako pup kay mineral, distilled or purified water ako ipa-inum para sure...change pud regularly ang water nila...

[Badme]

Actually ako sa gripo ra na water ako ginahatag nila pero every day jud nako pulihan og naa sad sila nuon waterer para limyo always kay naa ra sa bottle ang water nila og mo lick nalng sila if uhawon..unya ang purpose sad nako why gripo ra para ma anad sila ani na tubig kay if mineral ako anadon unya maka inum sila dili mineral basin mag lain na dayon ang tiyan...so far ala man nuon ko probs sa ila health.

amoebiasis? didnt know dogs can be affected by amoebiasis....

nah mao raman pud gisulti sa vet namu. gipakita sad jud mi niya sa amoeba itself thru a microscope the day our puppy was diagnosed. that was thru a stool culture nakuha gikan sa iya. humans indeed can be infected by amoebiasis, as well as dogs. if u wanna know more, read this:

Amebiasis, caused by the parasitic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica, is primarily an infection of humans and other primates. Very occasionally, this microscopic protozoan may infect dogs and other animals. Infections with Entamoeba histolytica are rare in the developed world but relatively common in developing countries with inadequate or non-existent sewage provision.
A dog becomes infected with the amoeba by ingesting food or water contaminated with the cysts or trophozoites (motile forms) of the parasite. Humans are the normal source of this infection in dogs.


Once infected some dogs fail to develop any signs of illness. Other animals are not so fortunate. Amebiasis may present as an acute or chronic illness.
In acute amebiasis, the parasite invades the mucosal lining of the intestine resulting in ulcerative hemorrhagic colitis. The signs of this colitis in a dog maybe vary from a mild stomach upset to severe abdominal pain and profuse diarrhea. Severe cases may result in the dog suffering potentially life-threatening dysentery. Non-fatal cases may resolve with out treatment or can develop into chronic amebiasis. The diarrhea in cases of amebiasis may be bloodstained and can contain mucus.
A dog with chronic amebiasis exhibits anorexia, weight loss and diarrhea, which may be continuous or intermittent. Some dogs have tenesmus, this is a painful, urgent need to defecate which results in very little or sometimes no stool being passed. In some dogs, the amoebae invade tissues other than the intestines including the kidneys liver and even the brain. The signs of extra-intestinal amebiasis depend upon the organs invaded by the parasite.
A veterinarian diagnoses the infection by microscopic examination of a freshly passed stool sample. This reveals the motile amoebae. As excretion of the parasite is intermittent, more than one stool examination may be required. Occasionally, diagnosis requires a colonoscopy to obtain a biopsy or scrapings from the ulcerated areas for microscopic examination.
Dogs with severe diarrhea may require intravenous fluids to maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. The suggested medication for treatment of dogs with amebiasis is metronidazole (Flagyl® or Metrogyl®) or furazolidone (Furoxone®). Some dogs continue to shed the parasite after completion of the antibiotic therapy.
