Foreword

Dogs, like humans, can also catch a cold and have a fever caused by cold and wind. In May 2019, when spring is warm and flowers are blooming and everything is recovering, the weather is hot, which leads to exogenous wind-heat cold. At that time, it was found that there were slight fever symptoms. Fortunately, when it was found, there was cold medicine at home, which was treated in time. Within 7 days, Xiaohua recovered. Now let's share our experience.

The manifestation of Xiaohua's illness

Xiaohua is an energetic, lively and active dog. Every day at home, she chews toys or jumps up and down, inserts a tail and is a little broken monkey. But suddenly one day, Xiaohua's mental state is not good, her appetite is not good, her nose is dry, she sneezes, she has been sleeping in bed, and she ignores me with the temptation of snacks, because Xiaohua's sister had a cold and fever before, which is very similar to Xiaohua's symptoms at that time. So I initially judged that Xiaohua had a cold.

Take your temperature

Although Xiaohua has symptoms, it is initially determined that it is a cold caused by wind-heat, but it is still necessary to measure the body temperature, I use For the

round head thermometer, I first disinfect the thermometer with alcohol cotton, and then dip a little Vaseline on the tip after the alcohol volatilizes. Then lift the dog's tail and insert the thermometer about 2 cm.

During this period, be sure to hold the thermometer, keep the dog standing on all fours, remember to calm the dog's mood, avoid the dog suddenly sitting down, causing the thermometer to break, about 2-5 minutes to take out and read the value.

Normal body temperature of small dogs: 38.5 ~ 39 ℃ for puppies; 38 ~ 39 ℃ for adult dogs. Normal body temperature of

medium-sized dogs: 38.5 ~ 39 ℃ for young dogs; 38 ~ 38.5 ℃ in adult dogs. Normal body temperature of

large dogs: 38.2 ~ 39 ℃ for young dogs; 37.5 ~ 38 ℃ for adult dogs.

When the dog's body temperature exceeds 39.5 degrees Celsius, it indicates that the dog has a fever. Xiaohua belongs to medium-sized dogs. At that time, it was 39.6 degrees, and the little guy had a fever.

Cold treatment

At that time, I had the experience of Xiaohua sister's illness. I had a cold fever at home. At that time, I checked the symptoms of Xiaohua and fed the medicine according to the instructions for the use of the medicine (it is recommended that daily medication and feeding devices be prepared at home). I bought the White Cloud Mountain Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, which is mainly aimed at: Symptoms include fever, cough, and sore throat.

When choosing medicines, you must suit the remedy to the case. This one is only for colds caused by wind-heat. If it is wind-cold, this one is ineffective!

Antipyretic treatment

Wipe the skin with cold water

Xiaohua was. I had a slight fever, so I dipped a towel in cold water and wiped the belly, armpit and sole of the foot of the little flower to help dissipate heat and let its temperature dissipate.

Replenish water

In order to avoid Xiaohua fever and dehydration, I prepared drinking water for Xiaohua, but the little guy did not like it, so I used diluted chicken soup for it to drink, the little guy drank some, to avoid lack of physical strength, remember to force irrigation!

That night, I touched the little flower every three hours to see its mental state and whether it continued to have a fever. I was relieved to see the little guy sleep peacefully. At that time, I was very impatient and wanted to hurry to the next morning so that I could go to the hospital for treatment.

Go to the hospital

The next morning I immediately took Xiaohua to the hospital, the doctor for examination and treatment, blood routine, temperature, canine distemper examination and so on, after the examination found that Xiaohua had no inflammation, fever also subsided, just a preliminary simple wind-heat cold, when the doctor prescribed a three-day cold injection, Xiaohua super suffered, looking at me are distressed, ah, but during the treatment, do not feed greasy food. Simple list is the main one. It took about seven days for the floret to recover.

Xiaohua Ma Ma has something to say.

Now is summer, the weather is hot, many parents turn on the air conditioner at home to cool the dog, but we must pay attention to the temperature difference, can not turn on the air conditioner for a long time, before going out, we must turn off the air conditioner at home, open the window, so that the indoor and outdoor temperature can be balanced, and then go out to avoid heat, cold and fever.
