Swollen Abdomen (Ascites) and generalized oedema( Anasarca)

THello people, here is a dog presented with swollen abdomen and sometimes the limbs and scrotal sac are involved, complete loss of appetite but he drinks water .

Dog was dewormed last month but vaccination history is not up to date.
Weight- 52.2kg
Temperature- 39.4 degrees centigrade
Mucus membranes- pink

On examination we noticed that the eyeballs were sunken, my other colleagues felt it was prolapse of the third eyelid which I objected,we also discovered a hardened wound at the elbow region, swollen jock joint presence of ticks. Blood samples were collected for haematology and serum biochemistry.

However , we have started treating with Furosemide which is a loop diuretic( it’s going to help reduce the swellings) , ivermectin as well for parasites. my tentative diagnosis is a condition of septicemia resulting from infected wound but the confirmation will be based on laboratory teststhat we would carry out...

Take home
Whenever you see the signs described above in your dog, do not delay to call your vet.
