What are the immunity methods for dogs? Come and find out
Some experts believe that the key to dog health is immunity. The dog's immune system is a complex system, which is like a joint legion, fighting in concert, crushing invasions from different infectious substances at any time, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and attacks from the latest cancer cells. What are the common ways for dogs to be immune?
The immunity of dogs is:
1. Passive immunity
Passive immunity refers to the direct access to specific immunity against a certain pathogen through a certain pathway, such as a baby dog obtaining maternal antibodies (natural passive immunity) by sucking the milk of a female dog or antibodies obtained by artificially injecting high-immunity serum (artificial passive immunity). Although passive immunity can directly obtain immunity in the dog, it lasts for a short time in the dog and cannot be produced after consumption.
2. Active immunity
Active immunity refers to injecting a dog with a certain pathogen (this pathogen is relatively safe for the dog after inactivation, weakness or genetic recombination, and can induce the body to produce immunity, that is, commonly known as vaccines or vaccines), and after a period of time, specific immunity against the pathogen is produced. This immunity is memory-based, that is, after encountering the same pathogen again, it can produce strong immunity in a short time, so that the dog will not be infected and become sick. Therefore, active immunity is the most ideal means to prevent infectious diseases.
