A dog's increased appetite is not just for body growth, it may be in a state of illness! Although dogs always gorge themselves when eating, they are not completely ignorant of moderation. Most dogs can still control their mouths well and go away when they are full. Therefore, we can also roughly judge how much food to feed to meet the needs of the dog. The dog's appetite will also increase or decrease with the increase in exercise and changes in physical condition, but it will not increase or decrease in appetite for a long time. If such a problem does occur, it is best to check the dog's appetite. Physical conditions.

In addition, if the dog shows a strong possessive desire for food, so that it becomes hostile, provocative, and growls towards the people or companions around it during eating. This may also be a symptom of polyphagia.

Zoologist Nader's research found that domestic dogs will keep barking when they don't eat, and they will constantly ask for food and go out to eat. Even though the dog has been fed several times, the dog keeps acting like it wants food.

If the dog owner forcibly deprives the dog of food, the dog will become very depressed and irritable, and may even bite the carpets and pillows at home, mainly causing damage.

The content is easy to understand, so let’s start right away without further ado.

Don’t worry, let’s first know the causes and prescribe the right medicine (key points)

Attention!Attention!

Usually the causes of this type of disease are complicated, and officials cannot just focus on one cause and directly generalize other possibilities.

Therefore, zoologists will analyze this into two situations, one is caused by psychological problems, and the other is likely to be a physiological disease. Let's take a look at the differences between the two.

There are many factors that can cause dogs to become psychologically dependent on food. If the dog was in an environment where he had to compete for food before being adopted, this may be due to old habits. If there are many dogs in the house, the dogs will also compete for food out of survival instinct. In addition, the aging of dogs can also cause polyphagia. Although this is surprising, the fact is that as dogs continue to grow older, they will naturally become dependent on food as they age.

Research by animal nutritionist Helen found that even if a dog keeps eating and its appetite increases, it will still lose weight and develop diarrhea. Sometimes, dogs will eat some inexplicable things, and in severe cases, they will develop pica. This may be due to stomach or intestinal problems. Indigestion and dehydration of the stomach will cause the dog to be unable to absorb nutrients and lose weight. An upset stomach can also cause your dog to eat strange things.

The symptoms of this disease are generally an increase in the dog’s appetite accompanied by an increase in drinking water and urination. Some dogs mayA cough occurs. This disease can only be detected by a professional veterinarian, otherwise the poop scooper cannot determine whether the dog has this disease.

When checking for Cushing's syndrome, the doctor will use a series of tests to confirm whether your pet has this disease, such as the "adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test" and blood tests.

It is worth special reminder that there are several different breeds of dogs that require special attention, as they are more likely to develop Cushing's syndrome: such as poodles, dachshunds, Boston terriers, and beagles.

However, even if the dog suffers from this disease, there is no need to be overly nervous, because this is just a common disease according to current technology. As long as it is treated with medication, the sick dog will be cured soon.

Judging from the symptoms of canine diabetes, diabetes is characterized by excessive thirst, weight loss and increased urination. Typically, dogs with diabetes experience increased appetite due to elevated blood sugar caused by insufficient insulin production.

Although a small number of dogs will eat less due to diabetes, data shows that diabetes can also cause dogs to increase their appetite and gain weight.

Due to dog diabetes, a very difficult situation may occur: multiple dog excrements, vomitus and urine will be found in the room.

Any breed of dog can develop diabetes, but compared to other breeds, Miniature Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzers, Poodles, Australian Terriers, Spitz, Bichons, Samoyeds, and Kisan Dogs are more likely to develop diabetes.

In addition, genetic factors can also increase the chance of dogs suffering from diabetes.

The Centers for Disease Control defines the term parasite as "an organism that lives on a host organism and obtains food from or at the expense of its host." Parasites are typically fleas or ticks, but can also be internal parasites such as hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms, or nonhelminth parasites such as coccidia, flagellates, and spirochetes. Dogs can become infected with parasites in a number of ways. Sometimes, puppies are at risk of contracting parasites while being nursed by their mothers.

There is another situation that poop scavengers must be aware of. When an adult dog inadvertently licks the eggs of a parasite outdoors, the parasites are brought into the body and enter the digestive system.

Roundworms, whipworms and tapeworms are the main bugs that cause dogs to increase their appetite, leading to an increase in dog malnutrition.

So what should you do if your dog is suffering from polyphagia?

No need to worry too much.

First of all, shit shoveling officials can briefly analyzeWhat is the cause of the dog?

If there are multiple pets at home, the dog’s polyphagia fighting and food-protecting behaviors need to be psychologically comforted and adjusted, and the dogs need to be fed separately so that the dog can gradually adapt and realize that it is not threatened when eating.

If it is because the dog is getting older, a specialized veterinarian may be needed to help the dog improve its condition through medication and other means.

If you find that your dog is eating too much, it is recommended to go to the veterinarian for a blood test and urinalysis to diagnose whether it is due to diabetes.

In addition, regular visits to the veterinarian actually have another benefit, which is that it can help prevent parasites in the dog's body. The veterinarian will provide the dog with deworming agents to help the dog recover from health.

We may not be able to prevent dogs from contracting some diseases in life, but we can protect their health through some preventive measures.

For example, in order to prevent the growth of parasites, scavengers need to regularly carry out parasite control for dogs. Regularly carry out internal insecticides with drugs. If polyphagia is caused by incorrect feeding habits, you can prevent the ongoing symptoms associated with this disease by adjusting your dog's feeding routine to avoid overeating. Regular check-ups are the key point. Once your dog shows symptoms of discomfort, it is necessary to conduct some medical examinations. After all, conditions like diabetes and Cushing's syndrome have disastrous consequences.
