Keepers Animal Clinic

Keepers Animal Clinic We built Keepers Animal Clinic because we believe the bond between people and animals is sacred. We understand what it's like to love an animal.

And we believe there is magic in taking the time to truly understand and help a person and a pet. We know the ups, the downs, the laughter, the love, the quiet moments spent together... the bond you share is priceless. And when you love someone like that, be it a person or an animal, you need to know that they are receiving the best care there is. That you are doing right by them. Because when your pet looks into your eyes, they see a hero. We'll help you care for them like one.

Did you guys know that Salmon Poisoning is a very common disease in Washington state? Read the article below if you'd like to learn more. Time is of the essence with treatment!

From Dr. Becky Lundgren at Veterinary Partner:
Salmon Poisoning in Dogs
Becky Lundgren, DVM
Date Published: 11/08/2010

Salmon poisoning is also known as salmon disease, salmon poisoning disease (SPD), and Neorickettsia helminthoeca infection. It is an acute, and often fatal, infectious disease of dogs, coyotes, and foxes of the Pacific Northwest. This disease has been found in black bears and Malayan sun bears, but has not been reported in cats.

Despite its name, salmon poisoning does not involve a toxin. Salmon poisoning is an infection that develops when dogs eat raw or undercooked fish (salmon, trout, or steelhead) or Pacific Giant Salamanders that contain a fluke. A fluke, also known as a trematode, is an internal parasite. In this case, the fluke is Nanophyetus salmincola that contains a rickettsial organism called Neorickettsia helminthoeca.

Once the larval flukes reach the dog's intestinal tract, they embed in the dog's duodenal mucosa, and release the rickettsiae. The rickettsial organisms then spread through the bloodstream to the liver, lungs, brain, and lymphoid tissue. Clinical signs include, but are not limited to: fever; nausea; vomiting; bloody diarrhea; weight loss; ascites; nasal and eye discharge; enlarged lymph nodes; tachypnea; dyspnea; tachycardia; twitching; and seizures. Approximately 60 percent of cases have generalized lymph node enlargement. Unless the infection is treated, 50 – 90% of affected animals will die of the infection within 7 to 10 days.

Clinical signs usually begin about one week after the animal eats the infected raw fish, although delays of 33 days have been reported.

Geographic Distribution:

Although infected fish can be found in the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to the coast of Alaska, salmon poisoning is most commonly found in Washington, Oregon, northern California, and southern Vancouver Island (Canada). It is also seen inland, along the rivers of fish migration. The Pacific Northwest has the trematode's first intermediate host, a small snail called Oxytrema plicifer.

Diagnosis:

Although clinical signs are caused by the rickettsial organisms and not the fluke, presumptive diagnosis is usually made by identifying the fluke’s ova (eggs) in the f***s. Ova are identified in 92% of cases. Direct smears of f***l material usually provide sufficient specimens for diagnosis, although other methods can be used.

Lymph node cytology and histopathology may provide a more definitive diagnosis, if necessary.

A history of access to raw fish also aids in diagnosis.

Treatment:

To combat the hemorrhage, necrosis, and infection, affected animals usually need antibiotics, fluid therapy, blood transfusions, antiemetics, antidiarrheals, and anticestodals (drugs that kill flukes).

Prognosis:

Many dogs respond well to antibiotic therapy, and resolution of gastrointestinal signs, fever, and thrombocytopenia can occur within 24-72 hours of starting therapy. However, if treatment is not started, death can occur 7-10 days after the onset of clinical signs. In one report, overall mortality rate was 14%. In another study of 43 dogs that were treated with antibiotics, 39 survived.

Preventive Measures:

Dogs should not be allowed to eat raw or smoked-raw fish (salmon, trout, steelhead), or Pacific Giant Salamanders.

Dogs that survive salmon poisoning will be immune to re-infection with the same strain. However, infection with an alternate strain can occur because there is no cross-protection.

Does your critter need a nail trim, or are they having an anesthetic procedure done soon and you want bloodwork done? Give us a call and come down today for nail trims and minor grooming services!

09/29/2023

Does your pet have an anesthetic procedure coming up and you're considering having bloodwork run? Perhaps your pet needs a nail trim, a**l gland expression, shave down? We can also send out f***l samples, update weights for flea medication and some laser treatments! We do not have a doctor in house next Thursday, the 5th and are available to do any NON-doctor related visits. Give us a call to see if we can get your pet in. THANKS!
