A case control study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of clinical diseases and/or clinical conditions of 3670 sick pet dogs presented to the Central Veterinary Hospital (CVH), Dhaka during the one year period from January to December 2009. A total of 57 types of diseases and conditions in 17 categories were recorded in these pet dogs and their variation in prevalence were analyzed on the basis of age, gender, season and breeds of dogs. The prevalent diseases and/or conditions from low to high rates included glaucoma (0.05%), babesiosis ( 0.08%), sinusitis (0.08%), tetanus (0.08%), spaying (0.14%), nail injury (0.19%), nephritis (0.19%), cataract (0.25%), metritis (0.25%), poisoning (0.33%), orchitis (0.35%), rabies (0.35%), pus in antrum (0.41%), purulent cough (0.46%), alopecia (0.52%), pharyngitis (0.52%), transmissible venereal tumor (0.54%), cystitis (0.52%) phimosis (0.52%), paraphimosis (0.60%), stomatitis (0.63%), pneumonia (0.63%), mastitis (0.71%), otitis (0.73%), taeniasis (0.74%), abscess (0.82%), anal gland disease (0.82%), dystocia (0.84%), conjunctivitis (0.90%), lice infestation (0.90%), lameness (0.95%), ottorrhea (1.06%), uterine prolapse (1.31%), posthitis (1.31%), dental disorders (1.34%), metabolic diseases (1.36%), protrusion of eye ball (1.44%), canine distemper (1.61%), liver disease (1.72%), nutritional deficiency diseases (1.77%), infertility (1.80%), coccidiosis (1.93%), toxocariasis (1.93%), urinary tract infection (2.10%), accidental wounds (2.32%), haematuria (2.34%), bronchitis (2.81%), arthritis (2.94%), dermatomycosis (3.30%), aspiration pneumonia (3.32%), mange (3.76%), echinococcosis (3.92%), dermatitis (4.99%), diarrhea (5.21%), ancylolostomiasis (6.20%), flea infestation (9.84%) and tick infestation (11.88%). Age-wise overall prevalence of clinical diseases revealed significantly (p <0.05) highest in age group above 36 months (48.12%) compared to that in 7 to 36 months (34.33%) and up to 6 months (17.55%) age groups of pet dogs. The significantly (p <0.05) highest prevalence of diseases and/or clinical conditions was recorded in local (33.35%) and German shepherd (22.53%) breeds of pet dogs in comparison to that in their counterpart breeds of Lhasa-Apso (7.57%), Greyhound (7.11%), Doberman (6.34%), Samoyed (6.23%), Dachshunds (5.20%), Spaniel (3.37%), Spitz (3.07%) and Poodle (3.18%). Results from season-wise analysis of overall prevalence of diseases and/or clinical conditions in pet dogs did not differ significantly (p >0.05) among spring (21.53%), summer (25.80%), autumn (22.83%) and winter (29.84%). The highest prevalence of arthropode infestation (22.62%), followed by intestinal parasitic diseases (14.80%) and diarrhea (5.20%) suggest a poor husbandry of these pets in Dhaka. Results of this study indicate that the risk of zoonotic infection by canine intestinal parasite may be high in Bangladesh.

To determine the prevalence of clinical diseases in pet dogs presented to the Central Veterinary Hospital (CVH) in Dhaka for treatment and to assess the risk perception of zoonotic infection to their dog owners.

The pet dogs used for this study were those presented at the Central Veterinary Hospital (CVH), Dhaka from January to December 2009. During the one year study period, a total of 3670 sick pet dogs were brought for treatment at the CVH. All the patients were first registered in the patient register book including date, age, sex, breed and complaint of the owners. Detailed clinical examination of each of the patient were carried out as described, which included a complete medical history like family medical history, vaccination history, travel history, diet history, environmental history, birth history and potential source of intoxication. Visual examination, pulse, respiration and rectal temperature recording and examination of the different organs and system of the body by using the clinical methods of palpation, percussion and auscultation were conducted. Mouth gag and local anesthesia were also used for clinical examination of the patients. Extension and flexion, needle puncture and otoscopy were also performed when required. Samples considered significant for diagnostic purposes were collected. Faecal samples and skin scrapings were examined at the CHV, Dhaka. Blood and urine samples were collected for routine and specific examinations and were examined at the Central Disease Investigation Laboratory (CDIL), Dhaka. Where needed, owners were asked to perform X-ray examination from human radiologist to diagnose bone and chest diseases. Dead pet dogs were subjected to necropsy examination to record the gross lesions and collect samples for laboratory diagnosis. Results are reported as percentage and the differences between the case and control groups for age, gender, season and breed were compared with X2 analysis. All analyses were performed with standard software (SPSS, version 13.0, SPSS Inc, Chicago, III); values of p < 0.05 were considered significant.

The present study provides the first systematic assessment on quantitative estimates of clinical diseases and conditions in 11 breeds of pet dogs of Bangladesh. The results show that ectoparasites and intestinal helminth species are widely prevalent health problems in dogs. The parasites recorded in this study have been previously documented in dogs throughout the world including Bangladesh, with a pronounced difference in prevalence and density among the regions. Considering the high prevalence of ectoparasites and intestinal helminth infections found in dogs, and the close bonds in which dogs live together with people, the risk of transmission of these parasites to humans seems to be obviously high. It may be concluded that pet owners should care more for their pets by proper housing, feeding and prevention of contamination of dogs. Interventions should include health education provided to dog owners and the establishment of a program focusing on zoonotic diseases especially to educate the public on the health hazards posed by indiscriminate disposal of dog feces and on responsible pet ownership.
