Influence of canine alpha interferon on the symptoms of secondary infections and its effectiveness as preparation preventing the development of late complications (convulsive phenomena, dehydration of the paws crumbs) in puppies with parvovirosis is investigated.
Materials and methods. A randomized, prospective, controlled study of a new veterinary drug interferon alpha canine in a population of puppies with parvovirosis is carried out. We have included in the experiment 20 dog puppies of different breeds and sexes, aged 2…4 months, with an average body weight of 7.5 kg. A score system for assessing clinical symptoms was used. Hematological and biochemical parameters were compared on the 1st and 9th day of the experiment.
Results. The use intramuscularly of interferon alpha canine reduces the periods of stopping symptoms of secondary infections and prevents the development of complications in dogs with parvovirosis (p = 0.003).
