More and more pet golden retrievers are now living in people's homes. Although living standards and living environment have been greatly improved, it is still necessary to be wary of common diseases in golden retrievers. Let’s introduce what are the common symptoms of golden retrievers? A summary of the prevention and treatment of diseases in golden retrievers. I hope to be helpful.

1.Anorexia

When Golden Retrievers are anorexic, they are not interested in food, their food intake speed slows down, and their food intake decreases. The symptoms and treatment methods of dog pneumonia are nothing more than two types of anorexia, one is physiological anorexia, and the other is disease anorexia. It is the early symptom of the disease and is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, Diarrhea, cough, abdominal pain, etc. It is seen in the early stages of infectious diseases such as overfeeding, stomatitis, dental disease, gastrointestinal diseases, canine fever, parvovirus enteritis, coronavirus, rotavirus, salmonellosis and other infectious diseases.

【Treatment method】

If it is physiological anorexia, you can ignore it. If it is caused by overeating, eating too much, or eating food that is not easy to digest, you can give drugs to help digestion, such as 1-2 multi-enzyme tablets and gastric enzymes, and at the same time, abstain from eating. Eat for 24-36 hours. For disease-induced anorexia, the main purpose is to treat the cause, and drugs that help digestion can only play a supporting role.

 2. Diarrhea

Diarrhea is a symptom manifested in the digestive tract, but the primary cause of diarrhea is not necessarily in the digestive tract. According to the causative factors, diarrhea can be mainly divided into two categories: nutritional diarrhea and diarrhea caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Nutritional diarrhea mainly presents diarrhea symptoms. The stool contains a large amount of undigested food without mucus, blood and parasites. The systemic changes are not obvious, but there are symptoms of anorexia and vomiting. In addition, diseases such as enteritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, pyometra, and some toxic diseases all have diarrhea symptoms.

【Treatment method】

For nutritional diarrhea, the first is to control the food intake and adopt starvation therapy; the second is to treat symptoms, such as oral administration of multi-enzymes, pepsin and other drugs to help digestion, and the use of genta, norfloxacin, penicillin, etc. to control secondary infections, if necessary Give intravenous fluids.

3. Constipation

Constipation is manifested when stool stays in the intestine for too long and cannot be excreted in time or out of the body, which is called constipation. There are many causes of constipation, the most common being food-induced constipation, constipation caused by certain diseases and drug-induced constipation.

【Treatment method】

Take 10-20ml of glycerin or liquid paraffin oil orally, and soak the senna leaves in water for oral administration. Surgical treatment can also be used for refractory constipation.

4. Cough

Golden retriever cough is not only the main symptom of the respiratory system, but alsoIt is a common symptom of some diseases in other systems. There are three types of cough: dry cough, wet cough and painful cough. Cough is more severe in the morning or evening. Some viral, bacterial infectious diseases, and parasitic diseases can cause lesions in the respiratory tract, lungs, heart and other organs, leading to coughing.

【Treatment method】

The treatment principles are to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, reduce inflammation and asthma, and treat the cause. Because coughing helps clear sputum and foreign matter in the respiratory tract and is a protective reaction, cough suppressants should not be used when there is a mild cough or sputum is present.

5. Fever

A body temperature that is higher than the normal range is called fever. The normal body temperature of adult dogs: 37.5℃-38.7℃; the normal body temperature of puppies: 38.5℃-39.2℃. Fever is a common symptom, including infectious diseases, non-infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, and poisoning diseases.

【Treatment method】

1. If you have an infection and have a fever, remove the source of infection. If you have a cold or have a fever, keep warm.

2. Antipyretic: Use antipyretics, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents according to the cause, and take physical measures to reduce fever. Bupleurum needles, metamizole, Zhuduqing, Regankang, Qingkailing, etc. have good antipyretic effects. Although intramuscular injection of Bupleurum is prone to type III allergic reactions, it is not life-threatening.

3. Treat symptomatically. If you have high fever and are dehydrated, replenish fluids. If you are excited or restless, you need to be sedated.
