At present, many families are keeping pets, but once someone in the family is pregnant, problems will follow. Can pets be kept or not? When I visit the clinic, I often meet expectant mothers or mothers-in-law who ask this question. Usually, mothers-in-law ask their daughters or daughters-in-law to give away their dogs and cats, but their daughters or daughters-in-law usually refuse to give away their pets. Everyone holds different opinions and wants me to convince each other.
The reason why the mother-in-law asked for the dogs and cats to be sent away was that the expectant mother might be infected with Toxoplasma gondii due to contact with them. Causing fetal malformation. Although my daughter or daughter-in-law has a little worry, she is really unwilling to give up her lovely dog cat. I usually stand by my daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law, because cats are suspected and dogs are wronged.
All kinds of small wild animals, poultry and fish are likely to be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. If pets are in close contact with these small wild animals, poultry and fish infected with Toxoplasma gondii, It is possible to infect Toxoplasma gondii. Cats are the ultimate host of Toxoplasma gondii. Although there is cat food to eat, However, many cats still often go outside to eat indiscriminately, Therefore, the suspicion of contracting Toxoplasma gondii is relatively high. But if the better cats are good, Eat only cat food, Nor will they go outside, Then there is no suspicion of what. Compared with the cat of the final host, Dogs are only intermediate hosts of Toxoplasma gondii, Therefore, the infectivity is not very large. Moreover, dogs usually eat dog food and receive regular vaccination. They will not run out to the wild to catch mice and eat dead poultry alone. Therefore, the probability of infection with Toxoplasma gondii is very small. Therefore, dogs have been wronged, and have been wronged for many years. I am here to rehabilitate dogs.
Recommendations for Toxoplasma gondii and other TORCH tests are: It is not recommended that all pregnant women be examined, Only in high-risk groups, It is better to check before pregnancy, Pregnancy tests are best conducted during early pregnancy. Don’t wait until the second trimester, Otherwise, it will cause many difficulties and troubles in interpretation. As for IgG antibody and IgM antibody, There is also how to carry out further diagnosis of the problem, will not be introduced. Because these problems are not clear to even the general obstetrician, it is best to be judged by experienced prenatal diagnosis experts, so as not to cause misreading. Dogs and cats are also involved, if misreading leads to child injury, the consequences will be serious.
