Causes of canine whipworm disease:

1. Trichocephalis vulpes is milky white. The front part is elongated and filamentous, which is the esophagus, accounting for about 2/3 of the total length of the worm. The rear part is the body, short and thick. The body length is 45-75 mm, the rear of the female is blunt and straight, and the tail of the male is curled.

2. The eggs excreted with feces will develop into infectious eggs after about 3 weeks under suitable conditions. After the dog swallows the infectious eggs, the larvae hatch in the intestine, drill into the mucous membrane of the front of the small intestine, stay for 2 to 10 days, and then enter the cecum to develop into adults.

Clinical symptoms of canine whipworm disease:

1. General infection does not present clinical symptoms.

2. In severe infection, acute or chronic enteritis can be caused because the head of the worm penetrates deeply into the mucous membrane.

3. Blood sucking by worms often leads to anemia in sick dogs.
