The dog suddenly behaves abnormally, the owner should not rush to deal with it, because TA may be sick, but he can't speak, but he will tell the owner with his own body: "Master, I am sick, so uncomfortable." So how do dogs give tips?
How to tell if a dog is sick?
Since bringing the dog home, the shoveling officer has been exhausted. In addition to making TA obedient, he has to worry about whether TA is sick. Speaking of which, do you know how to judge whether the dog is sick?
1 Mental state
Dogs are very active and like to release themselves. You may be used to TA's liveliness. Suddenly one day your dog sleeps more than usual and can't lift his spirits or be very clingy. This is a sign of illness from the dog to his owner.
2 Changes in the nose
Under normal circumstances, the dog's nose is kept moist and free of excess secretions. Sometimes it is suddenly dry and hot or secretions increase significantly. This symptom is very intuitive to tell the owner: I am ill.
3 Behaviors of Dogs
The dog bites his tail and turns around a lot, and the owner will still take pleasure in it, but if he is addicted to turning around, he must pay attention to it, because it is a disease.
4 Changes in appetite
If one day he puts delicious food in front of the dog and TA just takes a look or eats a little and doesn't eat it, it is also a signal to the owner.
5 Situation of defecation
The usual poop is black or tan, and it is moderately soft and hard. It defecates about twice a day. If other phenomena occur, the dog may also be sick.
Symptoms and treatment
1 listless
When a dog is sick, its tail will droop, and the shoveler will wonder: many dogs' tails are curly or drooping naturally. However, the performance of the two is different. The shoveling officer can see the difference by careful observation. The sick dog can't lift his spirits or suddenly is very clingy. At this moment, the owner should take TA to the hospital.
2 Fever
If the dog's nose is suddenly dry and hot or secretions are obviously increased, it must be a fever. Fever is a common disease and a precursor to many fatal dangers. Therefore, in this case, the shoveling officer should not hesitate to go to the hospital with TA!
3 Vomiting and diarrhea
This can be said to be the most obvious signal of illness. If you eat unclean things (such as eating small garbage while playing outside), you will also vomit. Generally, it is good to spit it out. However, if this does not work, it is recommended to take TA to the hospital for examination.
4 loss of appetite
If the dog is suddenly not interested in delicious food, it may be a gastrointestinal problem, but it may also be indigestion. The shoveling officer can fast first. If the second meal is eaten normally, congratulations, your dog is fine. If you continue not to eat, or vomiting occurs after eating, you also need to take TA to the hospital.
5 Abnormal defecation
If the dog defecation is not smooth or regular disorder, it is necessary to adjust the dog's diet in time, otherwise it may cause serious digestive tract diseases.
How can it be prevented?
1 comfortable living environment
A comfortable living environment is the first step. The shoveling officer should regularly clean (including disinfection) the dog's nest, which can reduce the number of dog illnesses to a certain extent. This is also a manifestation of the owner's responsibility for the dog's health.
2 Timing deworming
Dogs are lively and active and like the outside world, but it is easy to infect bacteria and bring back some bugs, so the shoveling officer should do a good job of deworming regularly. At ordinary times, when bathing a dog, you should observe it carefully. You can also observe the dog's expression. If there is nothing abnormal, it is healthy.
3 Immunity checks
Timely immune examination of dogs can effectively prevent common infectious diseases. The shoveling officer can regularly take dogs to the pet hospital for comprehensive physical examination and immune examination, which can not only prevent infectious diseases, but also timely and comprehensively understand the physical condition of pets.
