After raising dogs for so many years, it is actually difficult for experienced owners to detect their dogs’ illnesses in time. Today I will tell you the five major symptoms of dog illness.
Don’t wait until your dog is serious before you realize it later!How to tell if your dog is sick:
01. Mental state
Under normal circumstances, dogs are very lively and energetic, but when a dog gets sick, the disease will torture the dog, which will cause the dog to not be as energetic as usual, and even sleep all the time, unable to fight. She is very energetic, and she is also very clingy when seeing the shit shovel officer.
Why: It means that dogs may feel unwell, just like us humans who always lose energy when we are unwell.
02. Nose changesUnder normal circumstances, the dog's nose is kept moist and does not have excessive secretions. However, if the dog suddenly becomes dry and hot or has secretions that are very obvious, it is actually a major sign that the dog is sick.
Why: It means that the dog may have a fever, which may also have many fatal danger signs.
03. Abnormal behavior
Under normal circumstances, dogs will bite their own tails and spin in circles for fun, but if they do it for a long time and may become addictive, don't take it for fun. In fact, dogs are using their own behavior to tell you that they are not feeling well. .
Why: It may be that the skin of the dog’s tail feels itchy. We need to quickly check the health of the dog’s skin and prescribe the right medicine.
04. Appetite changes
The dog is a little glutton, and he wants to secretly eat the shit-shoveling officer's delicacies every day. How could he refuse to eat delicious food put in front of him? If your dog refuses to eat, it is actually sending you a signal that he is not feeling well and needs your help.
Why: The dog is not interested in delicious food. It may be a gastrointestinal problem or indigestion. You can fast and observe the situation first.
05.Abnormal defecationA dog's normal poop is usually black or yellowish-brown, with moderate hardness and softness. It defecates about twice a day. Therefore, when the dog has diarrhea, or even defecates multiple times or does not defecate, etc., it is best to shovel the poop. Officials should pay more attention to abnormalities in dogs.
Why: It may be because the dog has poor bowel movements or irregular bowel movements. In serious cases, it may be digestive tract disease.
When we find that our dog is sick, what should we do as soon as possible:
If the dog shows obvious symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, etc., we can take pictures first to find out the suspicious things the dog has eaten, and take the dog there later, so that the doctor can make an accurate diagnosis of the dog. If the dog's performance is not obvious compared to usual, but is a little abnormal, we can observe it for 24 hours before making a judgment. If it is determined that the dog is abnormal, we can take the dog to the hospital for medical treatment by ourselves.
