Every Cane
Corso dog has two types of immunity (immunity against
infectious diseases): inborn and evoked. Inborn immunity is
transmitted from mother to her litter, but evoked one develops
only after vaccination or after Cane Corso dog already had some
disease and its body would become resistant to originators of this
disease.
Dog owners should remember that vaccination is just a temporary
protection against infection that has effect only during 1 year
approximately. Inborn immunity that Cane Corso puppy inherits
from its mother as already was mentioned before, is preserved till
the puppy reaches the age of 2-2.5 months.
Then its influence passes off and young Cane Corso is vaccinated
against infectious diseases for the first time. With regard to the
following vaccinations you should consult an experienced
veterinarian. He must prescribe your dog individual vaccination
schedule.
Latent stage (hidden) of many diseases usually lasts for about 2
weeks. Through all this period before vaccination you need to
observe particular cautiousness during walks with Cane Corso
dog: to avoid any contacts with other dogs and cats, strangers who
want to stroke your pet or regale with some dainty, etc.
It is worth remembering that 14-15-day period before vaccination
it is a singular quarantine for Cane Corso puppy and you should
carefully protect it during this period from unfavorable
environment conditions, psychic tension and fright.
It is not recommended to air the puppy during rainy, blowy or cold
weather; if it is not very warm in your flat in winter time you
should put a hot-water bottle on dog rug- a bottle filled with
warm water and wrapped in a piece of woolen cloth.
Vaccination against the number of most dangerous dog
diseases (plague, hepatitis, rabies, leptospirosis, viral
enteritis) must be done once a year.
After vaccination you can start walking outside with your Cane Corso
again however during cold period or in the case if your pet has to
contact with adult dogs in the yard its quarantine time
should be a little extended.
If the symptoms such as excessive salivation, diarrhea, nasal
discharge, asthenia, apathy, deadness to surrounding environment
are observed in Cane Corso puppy it is high time to have a
veterinarian examine your dog.
It is not contraindicative to ignore the symptoms of probably
serious disease because it is a number of infections that are too
dangerous for Cane Corsos’ health and as a result they may
die.
