心絲蟲是一種由蚊子傳的線形的蠕蟲,牠們會經由血管到達並寄生在受影響寵物的心臟和肺部,導致寵物出現嚴重的肺部疾病、心臟及其他器官衰竭,引致死亡。在香港,犬心絲蟲感染十分常見。
心絲蟲通常由蚊子傳播,所以不會直接在狗與狗之間/狗與人之間傳染。狗是心絲蟲的天然宿主,這意味著在狗狗體內有機會存在大量成蟲及幼蟲,而體內的雄性與雌性成蟲亦會交配繁殖,產生更多心絲蟲。如果不及時治療,會令狗狗有性命危險。
心絲蟲是毛孩的常見疾病之一,而且是可以致命的。作為主人,想要好好守護寵物的健康,就要及早認識疾病和做好預防,讓狗狗遠離心絲蟲的傷害。[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”10px” bottom_margin=”10px” border_size=”0″ icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_images picture_size=”auto” hover_type=”liftup” autoplay=”no” columns=”2″ column_spacing=”10″ scroll_items=”” show_nav=”yes” mouse_scroll=”no” border=”no” lightbox=”no” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_image image=”https://www.wellnessvet.com.hk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/heartworm-2-300×225.jpg” image_id=”20438|medium” link=”” linktarget=”_self” alt=”犬心絲蟲” /][fusion_image image=”https://www.wellnessvet.com.hk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/heartworm-3-300×225.jpg” image_id=”20441|medium” link=”” linktarget=”_self” alt=”犬心絲蟲” /][/fusion_images][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”” top_margin=”10px” bottom_margin=”10px” border_size=”0″ icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” content_alignment_medium=”” content_alignment_small=”” content_alignment=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” font_size=”” fusion_font_family_text_font=”” fusion_font_variant_text_font=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” text_color=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]
【症狀】
在疾病的早期階段,許多狗表現出很少的症狀或根本沒有症狀。感染持續的時間越長,出現症狀的可能性就越大。
犬心絲蟲的跡象包括:
初期:
- 容易氣喘
- 咳嗽
- 疲勞
- 食慾下降
- 體重減輕
隨著成蟲數量增加,增加阻塞血管的機會,嚴重時會出現:
- 呼吸困難
- 腹部積水引致腹部腫脹
- 牙齦蒼白
- 尿液呈深血色或咖啡色
【預防方法】
治療心絲蟲的費用高昂,而且有一定危險性,所以預防比治療來得更加重要!
現時心絲蟲預防主要分為兩種:
- 口服預防藥物 (每月)
- 幼犬從 3 個月大(約在接受第二次DHPPiL疫苗接種時),開始服用心絲蟲預防藥片,之後每月定期服用即可。如果在這個年齡開始預防,則不需要進行血液測試。
- 另外,主人需要定期量度狗狗的體重,以確保服用合適的劑量。
- 心絲蟲預防針注射 (每年)
- 這種注射適用於9個月以上的犬隻,每年注射一次便可有效預防心絲蟲,每次針劑有效期為一年。
- 3至9個月大的狗狗亦可接受注射,但維持的有效期會少於一年。
在開始預防心絲蟲之前,建議先與獸醫討論,並進行心絲蟲檢測。
另外,在以下情況,在開始心絲蟲預防性治療之前最好先進行血液檢查。
- 如果狗隻在6個月大時,尚未開始預防心絲蟲。
- 如果您忘記給你的狗每月一次的心絲蟲預防藥片或心絲蟲預防針注射已超過一年有效期。
