Has anyone heard or know anything about Fluke II a disease or illness, etc in dogs? I cannot find anything on the internet about it. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Fluke ova are found on fecal examination in ~92% of cases, which supports the diagnosis. The ova are oval, yellowish brown, rough-surfaced, and ~87-97 × 35-55 µm, with an indistinct operculum and a small, blunt point on the opposite end. During the first day or two, few ova may be passed. Intracellular organisms have been demonstrated via lymph node aspiration in ~70% of the cases. Other causes of fever of unknown origin, generalized lymphadenopathy, vomiting, and diarrhea are differential diagnoses. When diarrhea and exudative conjunctivitis occur, distemper should be considered.
Prevention and Treatment:
Currently, the only means of prevention is to prevent the ingestion of uncooked salmon, trout, steelhead, and similar freshwater fish. In animals that recover, a profound humoral immune response persists, but there is no cross-resistance between N helminthoeca and N elokominica .

I know it's a liver disease. The real name is Facsiolliasis, so you may want to type Facsiolliasis into a google search because I think you could find out much more that way, than by using 'Fluke II'. Good luck!

There are Vet schools in almost every state. If you plan to spend much time working with dogs it is a good idea to get accointed with one of them. I use the Colorado State University school of Veternary Medice, Fort Collins CO. They can answer (or get the answer) to any question you have.

If you don't find answers in my sources, please contact a veternarian. Also, look in books at your local library; you have to learn at least something about Fluke diseases.
