Symptoms
However, the dogs are sick not only infectious diseases, and not always have the opportunity to conduct full and effective vaccines against infectious diseases. You should be very careful and watch for your pet, in time to see the first signs of the disease and seek medical advice.
REMEMBER! Most dogs and puppies are killed precisely because they missed the start of the disease when the organism with the help of a doctor is easier to cope with the disease than in the midst of it. Molodne owners often do not pay attention to these symptoms, which I'll tell you now.
The deterioration of appetite, refusal to eat, desire to be conjugated in a dark place, reluctance to go for a walk - all this may indicate the beginning of an infectious disease. If these symptoms are accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting, or both, immediately contact your veterinarian.
Single indigestion can be caused by an unusually large meal or a large amount of vegetables, in the first place, beets, and also because of fatty foods or a sudden change of diet. Can cause diarrhea milk, oatmeal, even a very well cooked. Avoid products that cause stomach upset from a diet of dogs.
Do not give medicines with food disorders. Proper diet restores the stomach.
Repeated vomiting with diarrhea - a sign, like poisoning and infectious disease. In this case, need the help of a veterinarian.
Vomiting can be caused by helminthic intoxication, as well as foreign objects in his stomach.
Regular meals - the result of improper diet dog: feeding pasta, rice, cream of wheat without enough vegetables, and plenty of bones. Do not let the dog bones from chickens and other poultry.
Sometimes the puppy swallows clothes, toys and other uneatable items. After passing through the intestines, they can stay in the rectum at the anus. In such cases, give the vaseline. If an item does not go, you should contact your veterinarian, as may be required vmeshatelstvr surgeon.
Dry, dull, brittle hair or tallow with a smell - a sign of metabolic disorders or diseases of the digestive organs. Wash the dog in such a state can not in any case, since the mite does not eliminate the causes of the violation. Treatment should be undertaken on the advice of a veterinarian.
Breath is explained by two factors: a disease of teeth or stomach. Teeth are regularly inspected promptly remove the stone. Successfully used sage tea for the prevention of gum disease and prevent the odor from the mouth. Cotton swab moistened with sage, a few times wipe the gums and Zubi dogs before going to bed. At disease, stomach needed medical attention.
Sometimes you can observe, as he sat on the floor or ground, a dog like "go down". This movement can be caused three reasons:
1. By the anus or feces stuck a foreign object and the dog tries to get rid of it.
2. The presence of worms (even if the dog does not make such a motion, it does not mean that she had them there).
3. Inflammation of anal glands located on both sides of the anus (the reasons - metabolic disease, allergies, constipation, obesity, lack of movement, unbalanced diet). Inflammation of the anal glands can cause itchy skin on the body, especially at the root of the tail, the smell of wool. Veterinary or an experienced dog breeder can purify the glands and, if necessary, use special candles.
Coughing and sneezing can beat characters like colds and viral diseases - adelovirusnogo rhinotracheitis somewhat resembling pneumonic form of plague. Should start treatment under the guidance of a veterinarian immediately, because the disease is relatively easily treated in early development, but in the absence of treatment known deaths.
The dog may sneeze and cough in smoke-filled room, as well as by inhalation of other chemicals in the air.
Cough is caused by spillage of foreign substances in the bronchial tubes or lungs, for example, dust or plant seeds in the work of hunting dogs in the field. Chronic cough may be a symptom of heart disease.
Thus, one can not ignore the renewed regularly coughing or sneezing. Only a veterinarian can help you identify and eliminate the cause.
Itching ears - signal the availability of ear mites, which can be detected under a microscope or a magnifying glass. Here we need a doctor. Middle ear infection that also causes itching, a very common disease in dogs, which may arise due to a cold (dog visovyvaet head out the window during car, train), because of water trapped in ears during bathing or washing, delays in removing hair in some breeds (poodles, Bedlington) from the auditory canal. In some cases, allergic diseases cause chronic inflammation of the ear, which lasts for years and lead to deafness if not taken care of as soon as you feel an unpleasant odor from the ear, see the redness of the inside of your ear.
Limp dog begins when struck or pinned pads. Between the fingers may be matted hair - this also prevents moving. Winter freezes icicles on the feet, that does not give the dog to move freely. Some dogs paw pads pokrity more or less deep tretinami that caused her great suffering during movement, especially when driving on hot asphalt or salt sprinkled on the sidewalk. The disease is hereditary and has the character, so that breed dogs suffering from hyperkeratosis, in no case should not be. Adults and often older dogs stradayutartritom (inflammation of the joints). Only a doctor can ease the suffering of a dog.
Rising temperatures dog (normal 38.5 C) also rate the disease. However, not always infectious diseases are accompanied by increases in temperature, so that we can be guided by the following rule: fever shows irregularities in the body, but her absence does not mean that everything is in order and not Wado pay attention to other symptoms, which above.
NOTE: It is better once again call a specialist than neglect poyavivshimysya symptoms and miss the beginning.
