Abstract :

In this study, we aimed to investigate etiologic agents of infectious tracheabronchitis (ITB) in dogs and determine the therapeutic principles for the diseases. The material of this study was consisted of 40 dogs which have clinically, cough, double-sided nasal discharge, double-sided tear flow, loss of appetite, weakness, and the dogs showing symptoms were selected among those brought to Diyarbakır Metropolitan Municipality Animal Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. In hematological examination, increased lymphocytes and monocytes increased hematocrit and MCV decreased. In biochemistry, a blood urea nitrogen, creatine, iron decreased and phosphorus significantly increased (P 0.05). Bordetella bronchiseptica, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Pseudomonas luteola, Pasteurella pneumotropica, Raoultella ornithinolytica, Raoultella planticola, Pantoa aglemerans, Seriata plymutica, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Streptococcus canis, Streptococcus zooepidemicus, Staphylococcus intermedius and Canine parainfluenza virus and Canine distemper virus were detected in microbiological analyzes that were conducted for the etiology of ITB. The treatment were made on the basis of the results of antibiotic susceptibility test and clinical findings. 11 patients, 11 (100%) which were administered trimethoprim/sulfadoxine responded to the this treatment. In amoxicillin/clavulanic acid group, 17 patients were treated and 13 (77%) patients healed. Enrofloxacin were administered to 9 patients, 6 (67%) of them recovered and 3 patients were administered Gentamicin, 2 (67%) of them responded to the treatment. In conclusion; ITB is common in Diyarbakir and in etiology of the diseases primarly included bacterial and viral agents such as B. brochioseptica, S. canis, K. pneumonia, P. aeroginosa, CPIV and CDV were detected and trimetoprium/sulfadoxine and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid were found to be effective as antibacterial agents.
