Many dog ​​owners like to give their dogs some human antipyretics when they are sick. The result is often that it lasts for two or three days and takes a lot of antibiotics and antipyretics, but the dog gets worse and worse. In fact, except for special circumstances (such as the pet hospital is off duty and the condition is urgent), when a Husky dog ​​has a fever, the dog owner should go to the hospital as soon as possible instead of giving the dog a bunch of antipyretics first.

1. The dangers of abusing antipyretics

1. Abuse of antipyretics will mask symptoms and aggravate the condition.

2. Blind use of antipyretics may disrupt the fever pattern of certain diseases, thus affecting the accuracy of diagnosis.

3. The abuse of antipyretics does not help the treatment of the disease. For example, if there is a fever caused by acute or chronic inflammation, the top priority is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. When the inflammation subsides, the fever will naturally subside. However, antipyretic drugs do not have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

2. Different types of antipyretics have different effects

Since many reasons can cause fever in dogs, it is important to remember to prescribe the right medicine during treatment. For example, for fevers caused by inflammation (pneumonia), anti-inflammatory drugs should be the main treatment, and the dog should be given anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs; but at this time, if the dog is given cooling antipyretics, it will naturally have no effect.

Therefore, you must be more careful when choosing antipyretics. Veterinarians generally do not approve of pet owners using human antipyretics. (However, aspirin is a good antipyretic for dogs. Dogs can take a dose of 18 mg per kilogram of body weight.)

Dog fever may be caused by minor problems such as wound infection. However, more often than not, fever is a sign that the dog is seriously ill. Therefore, when you are not sure of the cause of your dog's fever, it is important to ask a veterinarian for a timely examination to determine the cause. , once the temperature is higher than 39.4 °C (measured by the anus), you should go to the hospital as soon as possible instead of blindly giving your dog medicine.
