Foreword
Unlike difficult and complicated diseases, colds should be a problem that most owners will encounter. Many owners will give their dogs cold medicine by themselves. In fact, this is the wrong way to do it. First, the cold medicine that some people take is poisonous to pets. Second, the weight of dogs is a fraction or even a few tenths of that of humans. It is easy for owners to overfeed when feeding human medicine, resulting in a series of problems. Therefore, it is hoped that owners will use regular veterinary drugs for pets when they are sick or feed human medicine under the guidance of professional veterinarians.
When Kimi got sick, the whole family was very worried. The price of taking him to the hospital was much more expensive than that of a person. But at the same time, I also got the doctor's way to treat the dog's cold. In this experience, I share with you.
Signs of Dog Illness
Kimi will have the following reactions after catching a cold:
1, loss of appetite;
2, vomiting, vomiting out of undigested dog food;
3, listlessness;
4. Soft stool
5. Runny nose and cough
. Among Kimi's three colds, the symptoms of runny nose and cough appeared only once, and this cold was the most serious. The other four symptoms appeared in every cold.
Ineffective treatment in Kimi's cold
The very beginning is to give Kimi online to buy a pet to drink Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, because this time Kimi's inflammation has been very severe, and we did not give him with anti-inflammatory drugs to eat, coupled with the poor palatability of Shuanghuanglian, it is difficult to feed in, so almost no effect, in order to prevent the deterioration of the disease, we decided to take Kimi to the pet hospital for examination.
Hospital examination items
Now to the hospital, it is unavoidable to do some tests:
1, temperature (0 yuan): the dog's body temperature is higher than people, Kimi body temperature 38 degrees, is normal, no fever.
2. Routine blood test (160 yuan): the test is bacterial or viral, and the inflammation detected by Kimi is more serious;
3. Canine distemper and coronary test paper test (30 yuan for each item, 60 yuan in total): Kimi's feces and nasal mucus were collected for testing, but fortunately no virus was found. Because Kimi did not have a fever, so the doctor did not give Kimi a small test, if the shoveling officials can not distinguish or do not rest assured, you can test all three items, online purchase of three virus test paper as long as about 20 yuan.
4. Take a picture (not done): The doctor said that the cough could also be caused by something stuck in the throat, but as the owner who accompanies Kimi every day, we know that this is a cold, so we refused the test, if done, it will cost another 100 yuan. Here, I would also like to tell you that although pet doctors are professional, as owners of pets, we know more about our babies, and we can refuse some unnecessary items. Total cost of
testing: 220 yuan
It's really not easy to draw blood.
Cold treatment
First, Kimi was given an anti-inflammatory injection and an antiemetic injection (100 yuan in total), and then Kimi was given three kinds of medicine:
1. Addison Guogensu Oral Liquid (100 yuan)
2. 5 tablets of Sunuo 250mg anti-inflammatory tablets (25 yuan/tablet). Total 125 yuan)
3, 5 doxycycline hydrochloride tablets (about 125 yuan)
Kimi was very resistant to feeding Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid to Kimi before, but this fruit root element may have better palatability. Kimi is very good at taking medicine. This medicine has been included in my family's standing list, and it's cheaper to buy it online, but you must choose a reliable platform. The dose of amoxicillin for
pets is 25mg/kg. Kimi weighs 11.6 kg, so it is 250mg. This product is also famous in pet anti-inflammatory drugs, but there are many fakes on the Internet, so it needs to be carefully selected. Subsequently, I bought other brands of pet anti-inflammatory drugs as a family backup. Doxycycline
hydrochloride tablets is also an anti-inflammatory drug, because Kimi inflammation was more serious at that time, so the doctor prescribed two kinds of anti-inflammatory drugs, take Suonuo in the morning, take doxycycline hydrochloride tablets in the evening. But this medicine has some side effects, so I didn't buy it as a backup medicine. Total cost of
medicine: 450 yuan
Oral liquid with good palatability can make the feeding process much easier.
Sum up
If you want to deal with the dog's cold in time, you should regularly disinfect the dog's cage and other places to prevent infection, dry it after bathing, and prevent the dog from catching cold when the season changes. In addition, you can also prepare some test strips, a dog's own thermometer, Guogensu oral liquid and some anti-inflammatory drugs at home. If the condition does not improve, they should be sent to the hospital in time.
