Causes and treatments for syncope in dogs
Causes of fainting in dogs:
There are many different forms of fainting in dogs, and therefore there are many causes of fainting.
1. Cardiovascular system: Fainting in dogs may be related to problems with the heart or other organs of the body. Fainting related to exercise may be related to underlying heart problems. Heart problems include: abnormally low or high heart rate, damage to the heart muscle or valves, heartworms, and heart tumors. Diseases caused by the heart can prevent sufficient blood oxygen from reaching the brain, causing fainting.
2. Vascular and vagal syncope: Sudden stimulation or pressure causes a brief drop in blood pressure and stimulates the vagus nerve, leading to fainting.
3. Postural fainting: Dogs may faint due to coughing, defecation, urination or swallowing.
4. Other reasons: hypoglycemia (hypoglycemia) and drugs (special drugs that affect blood pressure), etc.
Treatment methods for dog fainting:
1. Reduce the possibility of dizziness, minimize movement or stimulation, and use stool softeners to reduce the frequency of defecation. Stimulate.
2. Special drug therapy can be used to improve heart function and minimize vasovagal syncope. Any drug that may cause fainting should be discontinued or avoided.
