Escherichia coli bacteremia was detected in a dog that had hypertrophic osteodystrophy. The dog improved after treatment with cephalothin sodium, iv fluid therapy, and cage rest. The cause of hypertrophic dystrophy has not been determined, although an infectious cause has been suggested. Dogs that are suspected of having hypertrophic osteodystrophy should be monitored closely for evidence of septicemia, and the administration of prophylactic antibiotics may be advisable.
在一只患有肥大性骨营养不良的犬中检测到大肠杆菌菌血症。该犬经头孢噻吩钠治疗、静脉输液疗法和笼养休息后病情好转。尽管有人提出肥大性营养不良的病因是感染性的，但尚未确定其病因。对于疑似患有肥大性骨营养不良的犬，应密切监测是否有败血症迹象，预防性使用抗生素可能是可取的。
