How should we care for a dog with a fragile stomach?

I believe there are a lot of parents for dog gastrointestinal problems have a very painful understanding.

Some are born, and some are due to improper post-care that causes the dog's gastrointestinal tract to be abnormally fragile.

then there are many parents' reactions. my dog often vomits, diarrhea and blood, etc. the disease of going to the hospital is gastroenteritis. dogs with gastrointestinal problems are basically the old patients in the hospital, which is very easy to feel uncomfortable. hanging water and giving injections are common occurrences, so today I will share with you my little experience in gastrointestinal care.

Gastrointestinal problems need to find the cause

First of all, share the case of my own dog.

my dog from 8 months began to appear blood pulling symptoms, went to the hospital for diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis, recovered after treatment.

but after 2 months, vomiting blood appeared, and the result of treatment was gastroenteritis. since then, nightmares began

almost every month, the symptom was vomiting blood, and everything was normal, there was no pancreatitis either. Even the gastroscope was taken to eliminate the possibility of foreign bodies. When the gastroscope was taken, it was found that the whole stomach wall was covered with little red spots, but it was not gastric ulcer. Little red spots were just like little red spots on the skin after allergy.

later, I began to think about the cause of vomiting blood every time. several times, I began to vomit blood the day after feeding chicken breast. therefore, I began to doubt whether my dog was allergic, so I did the food allergy test of german naboco

The picture above shows the results of the food allergen test report. IgE is an acute reaction and IgG is a chronic reaction.

Level 5 is maximum response and 0 is no response.

it can be seen from the picture that my dog is almost allergic to meat. my dog's allergic reaction is different from that of other dogs. other dogs may have itchy skin or depilation. my family is vomiting blood. generally speaking, the intestines and stomach are very sensitive and fragile. food cannot be eaten blindly and is very easy to digest., variable weather can also cause it

Therefore, through this situation in my family, we need to let parents know that if your dog's intestines and stomach are very fragile, we must find out the cause of its disease. For example, every time the weather changes, the dog will vomit or have diarrhea. Then we need to pay attention to keeping warm and so on. We must find out the cause of the disease in order to have a perfect nursing method.

A good helper for gastrointestinal care-probiotics

recommend this section of mede's probiotics.

cost-effective is relatively high, belongs to medical probiotics, can not be used as long-term health care type, and I personally do not agree with long-term eating probiotics to help dogs gastrointestinal conditioning.

probiotics are the gastrointestinal dependence of dogs with flora after long-term administration. however, long-term administration of a probiotic is easy to make the effect poor. my dog is a case in point. I used to feed the health-care type for a long time when the disease occurred. now basically, the health-care probiotics are ineffective for it, probiotics are only auxiliary functions. Don't think that probiotics can make your dog's intestines and stomach better. Daily care and diet therapy are the key

Moreover, this probiotic has good palatability, and dogs are quite willing to take the initiative to drink it. They can choose the brewing method, so that dogs can supplement water while drinking probiotics.

but be careful not to brew with too hot water, which will make probiotics ineffective. when a dog refuses to drink by himself, the needle tube can be pulled out with a needle. after brewing, the probiotics are pumped into the dog's mouth

Gastrointestinal how to care?

What should we keep in mind when feeding?

1️. Do not feed indigestible foods (e. g., eat less of such foods as tooth cleaning sticks).

2. Do not choose dog food with a lot of grain ingredients, and the grain should be moderate. Don’t let your dog gobble its food! If this is the case, please use the slow food bowl and you must get rid of this habit.

3. The daily food to single! It can’t be too diverse!

dogs with sensitive intestines are not suitable for receiving many different foods and snacks in one day, and dogs must add new foods one by one, step by step, so that the dog's intestines and stomach can accept the food by themselves.

4. If you want to add some supplementary foods such as boiled chicken and vegetables, please use them as mud to help dogs digest (you can use crude fiber foods like pumpkin to make mud, which can help intestinal digestion, up to 5g pumpkin a day.

diet is the best way to care, so parents can replace these crude fiber foods such as pumpkin celery into probiotics when they are free. It is very helpful for dogs. In addition, lamb tripe is also a very beneficial food for dog intestines.

5. Eat as little as possible and eat as much as possible if your conditions permit (don't just feed one meal!) You can't be too full and hungry! This is also not allowed

What should we pay attention to in our daily life?

1. Pay attention to the taste of the dog's oral cavity (the taste of the dog's oral cavity can often reflect the dog's gastrointestinal problems. There will be signs before my family feels uncomfortable. If there is no digestion and other reasons, the mouth will have a very unpleasant gastric acid taste. Be careful at this time)

2. The weather changes to keep your dog warm (don't think that dogs are not afraid of the cold, this is based on the dog's physique to decide, for the sensitive and fragile stomach dog weather this piece must be very careful! My family is a cold and warm alternate days, its stomach is very bad)

3. Prepare some probiotics at home. When the dog is unwell, add them appropriately for conditioning. You can also prepare some enzyme tablets to help the dog digest.

Summary

Gastrointestinal care is not something that can be cured in a day or two. These are the results that can only be achieved by the careful and patient care of the owners. My dog is five years old this year. It can be said that the first three years were in the groping stage, and the last two years began to have a very big improvement. From going to the hospital every month to report, it gradually changed to half a year and then to one year, this is all gradually improving

I hope that all parents can get help after reading my experience sharing, and I also hope that more pets can become healthy.
