What are yersinosis symptoms in puppies, how is it treated, and is it dangerous?

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

Unfortunately, without seeing them in person, it's illegal for me to say if it's safe for your puppies to have antibiotics. I can say that it's never safe to self treat your animals, as you may do harm accidentally, and it's not recommended to give antibiotics "just in case" as that promotes antibiotic resistance. If they aren't showing any symptoms, you don't need to take them into the vet, but if they appear sick, I would have them seen by a vet immediately.

These signs are compatible with a severe gastrointestinal infection.Unfortunately a check up would be the ideal solution as antibiotics may be needed to solve the possible infection and before clinical condition becomes critical. You can try to switch her diet to a more digestible one based on boiled chicken and rice but other than that a check up is really essential. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Yes, they do. Main signs can be hyperthermia, lethargy,inappetence, weakness/exercise intolerance, cough, dyspnoea (with rapid and superficial breathing), abnormal stance due to breathing abnormalities, in severe cases nasal discharge. Other signs may be related to the origin of pneumonia (can be bacterial, viral, tumoral, parasitic and so on). Other signs may be present but are related to specific tests (x rays, blood tests and so on).

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Yoshi! Decreased appetite is concerning in a puppy because of the potential very serious gastrointestinal infections such as parvovirus that they can get. Monitor him closely for progression of his already decreased appetite, nausea (which may manifest as drooling, decreased appetite and lip smacking), vomiting, severe lethargy and/or diarrhea. If any of these signs are observed, have him evaluated right away. I think that if he is otherwise doing fine, then it is ok to monitor him for now. If he has not improved by tomorrow, then have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Make sure that he is drinking water to avoid dehydration. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

The virus can be transferred passively from mother to pups, but in a report of one such litter in a dog that was positive, but was asymptomatic and treated with amoxicillin during her pregnancy, the pups eventually tested negative. One pup in the litter died but was anatomically normal and was not tested for Lyme's. There is very little information, so all I can tell you is to keep an eye out for the kinds of symptoms you would see in an active case of Lyme disease, swelling of the lymph nodes, swollen joints, fever and stiffness.

Not sure if the red eyes may be related to the constipation and vomiting, but these signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
