Leishmaniasis in Dogs and Cats: What You Should Know
Leishmaniasis in cats and dogs is a disease transmitted by the bite of a small insect, the sand fly, which acts as a vector for Leishmania. Once the parasite enters the bloodstream, it triggers a reaction in the animal’s immune system.
Preventive Measures Against Leishmaniasis
With appropriate prevention and timely veterinary care, it is possible to protect pets from this disease.
Keeping the pet’s leisure and rest area clean and disinfected is important to prevent the appearance of insects and mosquitoes. You can inquire about the need for periodic application of repellent products.
Additionally, the mosquito transmitting feline and canine leishmaniasis usually acts at night, so if you prevent them from sleeping outdoors, they will be better protected. You can also install protective mesh on windows to reduce the likelihood of bites.
Variety of Symptoms
Leishmaniasis can affect different organs and tissues, so it can display various clinical symptoms. Among the most common signs of leishmaniasis are:
- Epistaxis: or nosebleeds.
- Skin lesions: Cutaneous wounds, dandruff, and other dermatological problems.
- Eye lesions: Can cause irritation, redness, and, in severe cases, loss of vision.
- Limping: Resulting from joint problems.
- Weight loss and anemia.
- Hair loss in sensitive areas: Fur around the eyes, ears, and nose often falls out.
- Kidney problems.
In summary, the immune system of dogs and cats is a first line of defense, but Leishmania spp. can challenge this defense. Leishmaniasis presents a variety of symptoms ranging from skin problems to serious complications. With appropriate prevention and timely veterinary care, it is possible to protect pets from this insidious disease.
