Published at 02/21/2012 23:09:08

Introduction

Coccidiosis is considered to be one of the most fatal protozoan diseases in the world. This disease has gained so much ground because it shows mild symptoms and disappear or they appear with highly fatal symptoms and cause death if not treated properly. We all know that diseases like coccidiosis need to be prevented rather than be cured. Therefore, by following the steps mentioned below we will be able to keep away diseases like these as far as possible. Since  coccidiosis disease mostly affects the intestinal tract of the human body, therefore feces which is watery in nature is released, with substantial quantity of intestinal mucosa.

Steps to Avoid and Prevent Coccidiosis

Step 1: Treatment of the canines at home - Coccidiosis disease mostly spread from the canines to the humans. Therefore, it is recommended that proper care of the dogs is taken that you have at home. Generally, properly kept kennels can help a lot in such cases. If you want to stay away from Coccidiosis then always remember to take your dog to the veterinary doctor more often. Treatment of early symptoms can help not only you, but your dog too, to stay away from this deadly disease.

Step 2: Staying alert from the symptoms - Another way of staying away from this disease is being alert, if even one of the related symptoms becomes visible. Remember the diagnosis of Coccidiosis is very difficult and often requires common sense more, than what the result of the feces show. You cannot be sure if oocytes are absent in one sample of the feces of the dog, since it is possible that they do not show up. Constant test of the feces by a professional veterinary doctor will help you to be half sure. Even then proper diagnosis of the symptoms associated with this disease is very essential, at all stages.

Step 3: Try to keep the dog clean - This is one of the most essential steps you need to follow. Dogs tend to smell and even taste feces of other animals when left alone. You need to keep your dog away from dirt and all the filthy things as much as possible in order to keep the dog healthy. Coccidiosis often results from the oocytes of the feces. Therefore, try to prevent your dog from eating filthy stuff if it is allowed to go out of the house campus.

 

 

Tips

Use clean and chlorinated water. Try to give your dog clean and chlorinated water for consumption. Always remember that coccidiosis often spreads through polluted and dirty water that might contain the oocytes that spread this disease. Therefore, chlorinating the water often helps in removing the germs that can cause this disease.

Precautions

Be aware of the local dogs. Try to gain some knowledge about the dogs in your area and their health conditions. You can use this information in order to keep your dog away from the infected dogs, in order to prevent coccidiosis. This information will be available very easily from the local veterinary doctors in your area.
