Although there are many different species of Bartonella, only a few, such as Bartonella henseale and Bartonella vinsonii berkhoffi, have been known to cause infection in dogs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bartonella bacteria invade the red blood cells and the lining of the blood cells, affecting the liver, kidneys and heart. Bartonella in dogs is more likely to attack dogs exposed to heavy flea and tick burdens or those living in warm, rural or outdoor environments. Additionally, the bacteria can occasionally be passed from infected dogs to humans through bites or scratches, making good parasite control and hygiene extremely important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_main_signs_of_Bartonella_Infection\"><\/span><strong>What are the main signs of Bartonella Infection?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few common signs to look for that your dog might display while suffering from Bartonella infection.

This includes X-rays, blood work and urinalysis along with specialised investigations such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Immunofluorescence Antibodies (IFA) and Cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment includes a course of antibiotics (doxycycline, amoxicillin or enrofloxacin). Plus, supportive treatment to address pain and liver issues is also recommended by the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_prevent_Canine_Bartonella_Infection\"><\/span><strong>How to prevent Canine Bartonella Infection?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it is rightly said, \u201can ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure\u201d; go through these easy yet effective tips to prevent Bartonella Infection and keep your canine happy, healthy and thriving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Administer flea &amp; tick preventives<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleas and ticks are the primary cause of Bartonella Infection in dogs. Therefore, it is important to keep your pet on year-round parasite prevention.\u00a0 <strong>Simparica Trio, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singaporepetcare.com.sg\/bravecto-topical\/dog-flea-and-tick-control-treatment-2389.aspx\">Bravecto Topical<\/a>, Nexgard Spectra and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singaporepetcare.com.sg\/frontline-plus\/dog-flea-and-tick-control-treatment-3.aspx\">Frontline Plus<\/a><\/strong> are some of the most popular and efficient treatments that protect dogs against fleas and ticks.\u00a0 Choose the one that suits your canine\u2019s preferences and requirements. Consult a vet before using any treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Maintain proper hygiene<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining adequate hygiene around your pets, both inside and outside the house, plays a crucial role in deterring fleas and ticks and keeping your little one protected. Vacuum the furniture, wash the beddings, trim the lawn and keep garbage bags sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Focus on regular grooming<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleas and ticks hide in your pet\u2019s fur, causing itching, irritation and making the infestation severe. Here comes the role of timely grooming. Regular brushing their coat helps identify these pests and helps you do the needful before it is too severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Keep your dog away from stray cats<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are more prone to Bartonella infection than dogs. When an infected cat scratches or bites a dog, it might transfer the bacteria to the dog. Therefore, keep an eye on your dog during their outdoor times and keep them away from stray cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Schedule regular vet-checkups<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling annual or bi-annual wellness examinations with your vet is a great way to detect the infection early and provide the required treatment before it gets too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span><strong>Wrapping Up<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bartonella in dogs, primarily transmitted via fleas and ticks, can lead to serious health risks. Early detection, timely treatment and proper prevention can make a huge difference. With sufficient knowledge, a little effort and proactive measures, you can keep your canine companion healthy and thriving.&nbsp; Prioritise year-round flea and tick control, especially for outdoor or hunting dogs, focus on hygiene and schedule regular vet check-ups to prevent infection and ensure your pet\u2019s vitality and longevity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine your energetic pup suddenly showing reluctance towards playtime due to a hidden bacterial infection&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[199,200,201],"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dog-care","tag-bartonella-in-dogs","tag-bartonella-infection-in-dogs","tag-main-signs-of-bartonella-infection"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bartonella in Dogs - A Guide to Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment &amp;
