The following points must always be paid attention to?

1. Appetite? The dog is not interested in the food it likes to eat or food with good smell every day. It is abnormal if the food intake is reduced or it refuses to eat completely.

2. Vomiting? Dogs, like cats, are carnivores that are prone to vomiting. Vomiting may occur if you eat slightly inappropriately. This is not necessarily a disease either. If persistent vomiting occurs, it should be taken seriously.

3. Diarrhea? Diarrhea in dogs is a sign of illness, especially if diarrhea occurs one after another, measures should be taken. Especially dogs that have not been vaccinated against canine distemper should consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.

4. Sneezing or watering? Sneezing or watering are the main symptoms of a cold or influenza. If you can seek medical treatment in time, the effect will generally be good.

5. Dryness and wetness of the nose: Normally, the nose of a dog is black and moist. A wet and excessively runny nose may be a sign of a cold, while a dry and rough nose may be a sign of fever.

6. Dogs with drinking water impairment often approach the drinking basin and want to drink water. However, if you are unable to drink or the water that enters your mouth drips out again, it is nine out of ten that it is a disease of the throat, such as pharyngitis. Dogs with rabies are extremely thirsty and cannot drink water due to paralysis of the throat. Sometimes water can cause madness.

7. Shaking the head and scratching the ears. Are these specific symptoms of ear disease? If the ears are dirty and smelly, there may be parasites. If there is dander on the tip of the ears, there may be scabies.

8. Salivation. Oral diseases (such as stomatitis, glossitis, oral mucosal ulcers and dental diseases, etc.) are salivation symptoms? At the same time, you can also smell bad breath. During the excitement phase of rabies, the mouth is full of salivation.

9. Frequent urination or defecation. The dog frequently makes defecation and defecation movements, but cannot pass urine or feces or only traces of feces and urine are seen. Dogs with frequent urination may have bladder or urethra problems? People with frequent defecation may have intestinal problems.?The dog should be taken to the veterinary hospital for medical treatment in time.

10. Scratching the skin If the dog appears restless and scratches its skin and coat frequently, it means that the dog is infected with fleas, lice or is infected with scabies, fungal skin disease, eczema or pseudorabies. At this time, the dog's coat is thin and there may be bald spots.

11. The redder the color of the gums and tongue, the healthier the person. White color indicates anemia or intestinal parasites or blood in the stool (parvovirus or hookworm disease).

12. Most healthy dogs run, jump, and play with other dogs. If you sleep alone a lot, your health will be poor. In short, when the dog has the above-mentioned symptoms or other abnormal conditions and does not improve after a long period of time, it should be promptly sent to the veterinary hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Do not hesitate to delay the time.
