The flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and spring is coming. However, nasty diseases also come with it. Everyone knows that spring is the period of high incidence of epidemics. However, not only people, but even pets are also susceptible to it. How to do it? Pet owners who have pets at home, don’t worry, listen to the editor’s introduction.

In spring, dogs are susceptible to three types of diseases: dermatitis, surface parasites, and canine distemper.

Due to the dry weather in spring, the dog's skin is dehydrated. If the dog's fur is not cleaned properly, the dog's skin will develop dandruff and even skin inflammation.

Spring is also the season when dog superficial parasites occur frequently. For example, lice, fleas, ticks, etc. are several common superficial parasites found in dogs. Ticks are very harmful parasites that can easily be transmitted to people through contact with dogs that have ticks on them. Once a person is infected, symptoms such as fever will occur, and severe cases may even lead to death.

Canine distemper is also one of the common diseases that dogs are susceptible to in spring. The mortality rate of sick dogs is about 80%. The early symptoms of the disease are similar to cold symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, etc., and severe cases may even lead to death. The infection rate of the disease is high, and dogs can be infected by contact with each other.

After understanding the diseases that dogs are prone to in spring, the most important thing is to take measures. So, how to prevent dogs from suffering from these diseases?

Pet doctors say that the best way to effectively prevent dogs from suffering from dermatitis and surface parasites is to bathe your dog once a week. Remember not to use human body wash and shampoo when bathing. Because the pH of human body is slightly different from that of dogs, it is necessary to use dog-specific bath soap for cleaning. At the same time, it is also crucial to use a hair dryer to dry the dog's hair, otherwise the wet hair will easily tangle and make the dog sick.

If the dog's skin is inflamed or there are parasites on the dog's body, the dog must be taken to a professional pet hospital to find a pet doctor for treatment. Do not apply plasters to the dog at home to prevent the dog's skin from ulcerating.

The best way to prevent canine distemper is to vaccinate dogs. Some pentavalent vaccines can not only prevent canine distemper but also prevent several other diseases that dogs are susceptible to.

The bright spring is a beautiful season. As long as pet owners take good care of their dogs and take some necessary disease prevention measures, I believe that their dogs will still be healthy and lively, so that you can enjoy spring with your dogs. !
