Dedection of etiological agents with transtracheal aspirates, prognostic criteria and alternative treatments of infections trachebronchitis in dogs

In this study, we aimed to investigate etiologic agents of infectious tracheabronchitis (ITB) in dogs and determination to the therapeutic principles for the diseases. The material of this study was consisted of 100 dogs in various ages, sex and race brought to Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality Animal Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The 40 dogs which have clinically, cough, double-sided nasal flows (serous, sero-mucous, mucous, muco-prulent), double -sided (serous, sero-mucous, mucous, muco-prulent), loss of appetite, weakness, showing symptoms were selected. In hematological examination increased in the parameters of lymphocytes, monocytes and decreased in the parameters hematocrit, MCV were found to be significant (p <0.05) as statistically. In biochemistry analyses decreased in the parameters of BUN, CREA (creatine), Iron (Fe) and increased in the parameters of Phosphorus (P) values were found to be important (p <0.05) as statistically. Microbiological and virological analyzes which conducted in the etiology of ITB such as Bordetella bronchiseptica (B. bronchiseptica), Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia), Pseudomonas aeroginosa (P. aeroginosa), Pseudomonas luteola, Pasteurella pneumotropica, Raoultella ornithinolytica, Raoultella planticola, Pantoa aglemerans, Seriata plymutica, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Streptococcus canis (S. canis), Streptococcus zooepidemicus, Staphylococcus intermedius and Staphylococcus aureus were found to be bacterial agent in the diseases. Canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV) and Canine distemper virus (CDV) were determined. The treatment were made on the basis of results of antibiotic susceptibility and clinical findings. 11 patients, 11 (100%) which administered Trimethoprim / Sulfadoxine (Atavetrin, Atabay ) answered to the this treatment. In Amoxicillin / Clavulanic acid (Synulox, Pfizer) group 17 patients were treated and 13 (77%) patients healed. Enrofloxacin ( Baytril-K 5% , Bayer) administered 9 patients, 6 (67%) of them were recovered and 3 patients were administered Gentamicin (Gentavet, Vetas ), 2 (67%) of them answered to treatment. In conclusion; ITB is common in Diyarbakir and in etiology of diseases primarly such as B. brochioseptica, S.canis, K. pneumonia and P. aeroginosa were isolated as bacterial agents. And also viral agents such as CPIV and CDV were detected especially in conjunction with the bacterial agent. In this study, Trimetoprium/Sulfadoxine (Atavetrin, Atabay) and Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid (Synulox, Pfizer) was found to be the most effective antibacteria treatment. This study will be useful particular veterinary medicine who work in Diyarbakır and generally for all veterinary medicine.
