The exact cause of Puppy strangles is not known. Bacterial, fungal or viral agents have not been isolated from affected lymph nodes. Attempts to transfer the disease by inoculation of neonatal puppies with tissue from affected dogs have also been unsuccessful.
Golden Retrievers, Gordon Setters, Yellow Labrador Retrievers, and Dachshunds seem to be predisposed. However, this condition has been described in a variety of breeds, including mixed-breed dogs.
This condition is autoimmune in nature so the first treatment should be with corticosteroids to calm down the immune system reaction. This is a life threatening condition and immediate treatment by your vet is essential.
