Piroplasmosis vaccine injections for dogs

Nothing stands still, including the pharmaceutical field of science. For animals, in order to protect them from the onset and spread of various diseases, many drugs were invented. Vaccination against pyroplasmosis for dogs is one of the effective methods to facilitate the course of this terrible disease, it is vaccination that will help to avoid death.

Why is a dog vaccinated?

Ticks appear on the dog often, the animal is very attractive for parasites during walks in the fresh air. It is not necessary to go for this to the forest, city park. The lawn near the house can be their refuge. With a bite, pathogenic bacteria get into the pet's blood, which cause various types of diseases. Pyroplasmosis the dog becomes infected through saliva during a bite; babesias causing the disease enter the bloodstream.

On a note!

The pyroplasmosis vaccine for dogs will not be able to completely protect against the disease, but death will definitely prevent it. Vaccination is not a savior; it serves as a preventive measure.

Any vaccine of this type contains special antibodies, the action of which is directed:

• on the almost complete neutralization of toxins that babesia release into the blood after ingestion;
• to the defeat of foreign molecules located on the body of the parasite.

Effective vaccines for dogs

Each veterinary pharmacy will be able to offer several options for vaccination products. Which one to choose, the veterinarian will advise, he will talk about all the pros and cons of each option.

According to veterinarians, injections from pyroplasmosis for dogs of two firms are recognized as the most effective. They differ in cost and duration of action of the vaccine, otherwise their characteristics are almost identical.

Pirodog

The vaccine consists of red blood cells from infected animals that have been exposed to gamma rays. The antigen of the first type of Babesia canis activates the development of immunity against pyroplasmosis in a natural way. Specialists recognize the vaccine is weak, but it has few side effects.

Vaccination is carried out twice, the interval between vaccinations is 21-28 days. Immunity develops over two weeks and lasts six months.

On a note!

The cost of the vaccine in Moscow ranges from 2000 rubles, the procedure for injecting itself costs about 1000 rubles.

Nobivac piro

The work of this vaccine is based on two antigens at once: Banesia canis and Banesia rossi, which are more active than the previous drug in producing immunity against pyroplasmosis in dogs. But the risk of side effects from the vaccine grows accordingly. Vaccinate the dog twice, the interval between injections from 21 days to 6 weeks. Immunity is developed for 14 days and lasts for at least six months.

Vaccination is carried out by a veterinarian in a clinic, in Moscow the cost of the vaccine is different. The minimum cost of the drug is 2600 rubles and above. Each clinic will take its cost for the service, on average it is about 1000 rubles.

Act

The principle of action for the above drugs is identical, they activate the immunity of dogs to combat parasites that have fallen into the blood.Immunity is not so long, but for 6 months, even with a dog bite with a tick, a fatal outcome is almost completely eliminated. Vaccines successfully neutralize toxins released by babesia in the blood and contribute to the speedy recovery of the pet.

Vaccination for a dog is useful, but each vaccine has its own contraindications:

• It is strictly forbidden to administer the vaccine to pregnant dogs, as well as to nursing females;
• puppies under the age of 5-6 months are prohibited;
• Pets who have had pyroplasmosis can be vaccinated only after complete cure and after at least 2 months after the bite;
