Every owner of Cane Corso must be able to
render emergency medical treatment to his pet in order to
prevent the dog from dying or for avoidance of complicating
diseases when it is impossible to turn to a veterinarian or
when minutes determine what clinical outcome for the dog will
be.
It is very important to know the symptoms of main diseases and
methods of their treatment however you should not try to
diagnosticate Cane Corso on your own. Suspicions of dog owner
may turn to be wrong due to atypical behavior of that or this
disease and treatment will only do harm to the dog.
On seeing the signs of this or that diseases described below you
should address to a veterinarian before everything else. Also you
should send for a vet if dog Cane Corso has a fever, if it
refuses to eat, if it is hyposthenic or, on the contrary, is very
anxious, etc.
Skin burns
Fever heat may cause skin burns of 5 degrees. The symptoms of the
first degree of burn are puffiness, hyperemia, but in case of
thermal effect you will see incineration of Cane Corso’s
coat. The second stage produced by longer affecting causes the
emergence of one or several bullas.
Fire burns may not produce the same effect because not only coat
incinerates but also epidermis but instead of the bullas you will
see intense puffiness of dermis and hypoderm. The bullas usually
burst in the time of the second degree of burn, the wound becomes
infected without proper therapy treatable and that in turn leads
to the appearance of mattery dermatitis.
