Asthma is an allergic disease of the respiratory system. It is usually an acute onset with no obvious long-term warning before the onset. It can be clinically divided into exogenous, endogenous, mixed, drug-induced and exercise-induced types. I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any article explaining this in detail online. Asthma is mostly caused by tracheal stenosis and bronchospasm. Asthma in dogs is hereditary (not necessarily inherited from the parents, but may also be inherited from the dog breed), that is, the congenital deficiency of short and narrow trachea. Hereditary asthma is a recessive disease and will not cause symptoms in a short period of time. , but a sudden attack when the body function is reduced (such as colds, coughs and other diseases) or when there are sudden allergens or triggers. In addition, there is also asthma caused by pure allergy. Clinically, the asthma control rate of this disease is higher. Usually, as long as you stay away from allergens or triggers and deal with the disease in a timely manner, it can be effectively controlled.

Dog asthma symptoms:

In mild cases, symptoms include dry cough, heavy breathing, and occasionally retching. In severe cases, breathing is rapid, body temperature rises, the body becomes hot with reddening of the skin, the tongue becomes purple, the nose is hot and dry, the heart beats faster, the dog will constantly lick its mouth and nose and may eat randomly, licking the ground, Abnormalities such as running around or even vomiting, once you find a purple tongue and rising body temperature, you should seek medical treatment immediately.

When asthma occurs, it will develop its own resistance. In mild cases, it can reduce or eliminate the symptoms by controlling itself, but in severe cases, it may not be able to control itself in a short period of time. At this time, dogs will eat randomly because it Thinking that there is a foreign body in his trachea and wanting to swallow it or vomit it out is an accompanying symptom (in fact, the foreign body he thinks may not be a real foreign body, and the dog owner needs to make accurate judgment here.) After the onset of the disease , the dog will be exhausted. For example, dogs with poor immunity may appear lethargic and fatigued. At this time, they should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. Never think that you will stop caring after it is over. After dog asthma has truly passed, everything in the dog will return to normal. At this time, if you go to the doctor for treatment, you will not be able to determine the dog's illness without taking careful X-rays, blood tests and other tests. Therefore, if you must seek medical treatment, you should hurry up.

Treatment of dog asthma:

The treatment of this disease is mainly to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, supplemented by antibiotics to control secondary infections. Strengthen daily care, keep sick dogs quiet, and avoid irritating gases and smoke.

​Note:

The cure rate of asthma is not high and it can only be effectively controlled. It is recommended that the home be ventilated all year round and open at least one or half a window in winter to maintain air circulation. There should be no overly irritating smells in the home, such as perfume, cigarettes, etc. In addition, Disinfectant water and insecticides should be chosen carefully, and those specially designed for pets should be chosen with light taste. What to choose when it comes to dog foodSlightly soft food should not be given, hard stick-shaped chews should not be given, and tough food such as bones should not be given. Do not let the dog be in a state of excitement or running and jumping for too long, and try to keep it in a calm and slow-walking state. Down.
