Samoyed health knowledge class

1. Predictable

Hip joint hypoplasia (HD as doctors call it)

Hip hypoplasia is a common disease in the Samoyed breed. In severe cases, the disease can cause difficulty in moving around, so it is important to catch it early and not breed dogs with this disease. Hip dysplasia is treatable if treated early.

Main Symptoms

When walking, both legs move together, like a bunny hopping with toes pointing inward. When walking, the waist twists greatly from side to side. He is unwilling to move and prefers to sit. His movements when standing up are not smooth enough, and he is unwilling to go up steps or jump.

Prevention and Treatment

When the degree of dislocation is mild and the symptoms are not obvious, the amount of exercise and weight can be controlled, and painkillers can be used as needed to inhibit the development of joint inflammation. Allowing your Samoyed to lose weight can reduce a lot of burden on the joints. When these treatments fail, surgery is performed to remove the top of the pelvis from the thigh and then repair the joint.

2. Preventable

Atopic dermatitis

Excessive dust and pollen can cause allergic reactions in the body and cause skin inflammation.

Main Symptoms

The dog will scratch frequently and bite the affected area when severe. The area that has been scratched repeatedly begins to lose hair, and the skin has traces of being scratched or the skin becomes black and thickened. Dogs with atopic dermatitis will lick their coat constantly, causing their coat to become discolored.

Prevention and Treatment

Medication relief treatment is generally used. Medications can be used in combination, such as antipruritic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-allergic drugs, etc., which are generally divided into internal medicines and external medicines, and are used separately according to the affected area and symptoms.

3. Self-checking possible

Diabetes

Diabetes in dogs can be divided into three categories. The first category means that the dog has no or very little insulin secretion. The second type is that the body produces an appropriate amount of insulin but cannot fully utilize it. The third type is called transient diabetes.

Main Symptoms

In the early stages, the dog's urine output increases significantly, and it will be thirsty and drink a lot of water due to the increased urine output. Although his appetite is still strong, he continues to lose weight. Because body edema occurs in the early stages of the disease, it is not easily discovered by the owner.

Prevention and Treatment

Diabetes can be treated in the early stages through diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels. Dog food should be replaced with varieties that are low in calories, carbohydrates and fat. When blood sugar levels continue to increase and diet and exercise cannot control blood sugar, insulin must be injected.

4. Things that can be improved

Obesity

Life got better, so not only did the owner gain weight, but the dogs also became fat. Although many people will admire the cuteness of fat dogs when they see them, owners should be aware of danger signs when dogs are obese. Now, we have to put weight loss for dogs on the table and attract the attention of owners.

Prevention and Treatment

If the owner is really not sure whether his dog is obese, he can take his dog to a pet hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. If obesity is caused by disease, treatment should be given first before losing weight.

More owners can help their dogs complete the weight loss plan through their own efforts!

1. Start with food:Samoyed’s intestines and stomach cannot adapt to a large amount of fiber at once in the early stages of weight loss. Therefore, when purchasing weight loss dog food, you should read the product label carefully. If you are not sure, you should consult your pet doctor or dog food manufacturer.

2. Exercise: If your Samoyed is lively and healthy, eats normally, but is only slightly obese, just take him to do more exercise. At the beginning, you can take it to walk around the house and play games, and gradually increase the amount of exercise, such as running. When the dog is too tired to run, it means that its exercise level has reached its limit. Let it rest for a while before walking. Don't force it. Just like humans, in order to prevent weight gain, you must stick to your exercise habit.

There are a lot of things that need to be paid attention to when raising dogs like Samoyed, so poop scrapers need to be more patient. When it heals you with its smile, don’t forget to always pay attention to its health! Let’s protect our smiling angel together.
