THE PHASES OF SEPSIS/ SEPTICEMIA –
Broadly we can observe three phases of Sepsis in the body they are –
1. SEPSIS
2. SEVERE SEPSIS
3. SEPTIC SHOCK
Sepsis as a condition progresses from mild to severe to extremely severe and ultimately death if not dealt with aptly and quickly. Thus, quick medical help must be sought out in case of sepsis. Let’s discuss further phases of sepsis.
PHASE I – SEPSIS
This is characterized by –
1 Fever of high grade
Most often, the normal body temperature of Dogs is around 101-102°F, anything above this is termed as pyrexia or fever. Usually one gets fever, when there is some sort of bacteria/virus or microorganism to be general which is antigenic in nature (harmful and damaging in nature). Thus, fever can be a clear and good indication that some sort of infection is occurring inside the body, and thus apt diagnostic procedures should be carried out to figure it out!
2. Tachypnea
Rapid and quick breathing is medically termed as tachypnea.
It is generally observed along with fever or pyrexia. Thus, even a slight abnormal increase in breathing rate or way is to be observed keenly and it could be an indicator of Sepsis.
3. Increase in heartbeat rate.
With the increase in respiratory rate and fever, on examination by your vet, the heartbeat rate also shows an increase.
