veneric diseases

Can anyone tell me please is it possible for the bitch to have stafilococks or streptococks in its blood or brucellosis if it has never been mated before?

Tasha thank you very much. It really helped me a lot to understand that disease and how it works. Surely I will ask all the owners of the bitches my stud will breed to do this test. It'll be a routine action for me- because as it is written in this article

better safe than sorry

Can anyone plaease explain to me what is stafilococks and streptococks because I tried to find the polish equivalents to those two diseases and I didn't manage. So I'd be really grateful if you could explain them to me- and tell me whether it is possible for a bitch to be infected if never bred before. Maybe you know any interesting websites. Then maybe you could give me the links. Any articles?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I have experience with stafilococs.
Our very first weimaraner, a puppy of 8 weeks got this.
When we picked him up, there was nothing wrong. No signs of deseases. Unfortunately, after the night, I saw a white spot on his muzzle. One became a million, he had high fever, and wouldn't eat or drink anymore. We immidiatelly went to the vet, she gave him 2 or 3 shots, for the fever, for the lighting ect.
For this pup, it already was gone too far. I actually got him for about 1 week, went EVERY day to the vet for the shots, but he still slipped away... We actually give him water with needle (without needle of course) and nursed him as mutch as possible. At last, the breeder picked him up, he stayed for a few days in a vethospital and both vets and breeder decided to give him up, the pup was too far away... This pup was before my Bill, I have mourn for 1 year, so upset I was... Don't wanted a dog anymore, but after 1 year, the tinkeling when I saw a weim started again, so we visited some litters, and in one, there he was, our Bill..........

Normally the stafilococ virus isn't that agressive... You can see the spots are not that many, you can see it easely on younger dogs, special in their coat.

The vet told me it lives in all dogs, some factors can accelerate the process and make it worse or less worse....
Stress is also a factor to start this desease.

Hope I helped you with my information

Magda, Staphyloccocus sp and Streptococcus sp these are bacteria and known in polish as "gronkowce and paciorkowce".
