Dog bacterial infection

Campylobacteriosis is a common gastrointestinal bacterial infection in dogs caused by *Campylobacter* bacteria.

Bacterial pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs caused by a bacterial infection. Pneumonia can cause coughing, exercise intolerance, fever, and nasal discharge in affected dogs.

Dogs develop many different types of eye infections. When the eyelid, conjunctiva, cornea, or structures within the eye are affected, those are called blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, or uveitis respectively.

Osteomyelitis in dogs is an uncommon condition caused by inflammation or infection of the bone. Usually caused by bacterial or fungal infection. In rare occurrences it can be sterile, meaning no infection is present.

Plague is an infection caused by Yersinia pestis, a species of bacteria found in wild rodent populations. Dogs become infected with the bacteria through the bite of an infected flea, or through ingesting an infected rodent.

Joint infections, or septic arthritis, occur when bacteria or fungi are introduced into the nutrient-rich joint fluid, resulting in an infection. In dogs, joint infections typically develop after a wound occurs over or near a joint, but can also occur due to widespread bacterial infection in the body or after joint injections.

Bacterial cystitis is infection and inflammation of the bladder, usually caused by bacteria entering through the urethra in dogs. Bacterial cystitis is commonly called a lower urinary tract infection, or UTI.

Botulism is a rare and potentially life-threatening form of paralysis caused by a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria, commonly found in decomposing meat and plants. Symptoms of botulism generally develop within 24 to 48 hours after ingestion and include vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and progressive ascending motor paralysis that starts in the rear limbs.

Mastitis is the inflammation of breast (mammary) tissue. Mastitis in dogs usually results from a bacterial infection and almost exclusively affects nursing mothers.

Bartonella infection in dogs is a disease caused by bacteria from the Bartonella species. The infection targets the blood vessels of various organs, including the heart, liver, lymph nodes, eyes, nose, and joints.

Pyelonephritis is a urinary tract infection that affects the kidneys. The infection is most usually caused by a bacteria (usually E. coli) that moves up the urinary tract from the bladder into the kidneys
