Please listen to me explain the 4 major culprits causing diarrhea in dogs!
All pet owners must have encountered dog diarrhea
But don’t underestimate it just because it’s common
If handled improperly, it can easily lead to danger!
There are many reasons for dog diarrhea. Do not use medicine indiscriminately
Want to become an experienced pet owner? Come and listen to Sister Rui’s detailed explanation:
【Inappropriate diet, causing diarrhea 1】
This is the most common cause of diarrhea, especially in puppies under six months old:
①Suddenly change the dog’s food
The food change time generally takes 7 to 10 days, and the new food needs to gradually replace the old food. (There will be tips on the corresponding food replacement methods on the dog food packaging bags, so read them carefully)
② Let the dog eat too much at one time
Refer to the feeding amount indicated on the dog food packaging bag. You can’t just give your dog as much as he wants, especially puppies, do you ever feel like they can’t fill them up at all?
③Eating too much cold food or indigestible food
Especially for dogs with delicate intestines and stomach: milk and meat (this is a taboo! It is easy to have diarrhea)
Correct handling method
On the premise that the home environment and food can ensure hygiene and the puppy is also immunized, regarding dietary issues, we should:
①Cease difficult-to-digest foods
And reduce the amount of food eaten and replace it with natural dog food that protects the stomach and intestines.
②If diarrhea is severe, fast for a day
Remember to provide your dog with enough clean drinking water.
③Appropriate antidiarrheal and care
You can give your dog some physical antidiarrheal drugs (montmorillonite powder), and probiotics that promote digestion (prebiotics such as lactase, fructooligosaccharides, etc.).
[Failing to keep warm during the change of seasons, causing diarrhea 2]
As the seasons change, dogs are prone to diarrhea due to cold.
Correct handling method
First make sure that the dog is immune and has normal energy and appetite:
① The kennel is thickened and treated with windproof treatment to reduce the risk of going out when it’s cold;
②Put a hot water bottle on the dog to warm its belly;
③Take some antidiarrheal medicine and pay attention to rest.
【Suffering from infectious diseases, causing diarrhea 3】
If your dog has severe diarrhea, is listless, and has an elevated body temperature!
In this case, the dog’s symptoms are very similar to infectious enteritis (canine distemper). This is the worst situation! Be sure to pay attention!
correctProcessing methods
Don’t hesitate, don’t use medicine indiscriminately, and send your dog to the hospital as soon as possible!
Because serious infectious diseases will worsen within a day or two,
If you miss the best opportunity for treatment, you may become a dog!
[Failing to deworm in time can cause diarrhea 4]
If your dog has black and loose stools, it means hemorrhage from the upper gastrointestinal tract
If your dog has red and loose stools, it means hemorrhage from the lower gastrointestinal tract
The dog has loose stools with small particles and threads
These all indicate that the dog is infected with parasites
Correct handling method
Take the poop sample to the pet hospital for testing.
Before deciding what kind of deworming medicine to give your dog, be sure not to take medicine indiscriminately!
How to prevent diarrhea in dogs?
① Eat 2 meals at regular times and rations for adult dogs every day, so that dogs can develop regular eating habits.
② Choose mild, hypoallergenic, easy-to-digest ingredients, such as the BiRigi series of dog food products.
③ Keep the dog’s living environment clean, clean it after going out, and disinfect it regularly.
④ When the weather gets cold, give your dog a thick kennel. If your dog is afraid of the cold, keep warm when going out for a walk.
