Whenever a dog dies, emotional people will not be able to bear this kind of separation and will give up the decision to keep pets again. You must know that death and decline are normal phenomena, but dogs also distinguish between natural death and disease death just like humans. Yes, do you know what are the top ten most deadly causes of dog death?

​NO.1 Heart Disease

Symptoms: Easy to breathe and tired

Basically, the symptoms of heart disease in dogs are very similar to those in humans, and are related to obesity and aging. But what’s worse is that owners often delay medical treatment due to negligence, leading to the death of dogs; there are also dog breeds that are easily excited, often due to ignorance. The tragedy of acute shock occurs when children or relatives and friends come to visit and are given inappropriate excessive exercise.

In addition to considerable experience, doctors who diagnose heart disease must also have the necessary medical testing equipment for examination. This can be supplemented by long-term medication, regular follow-up, and correct feeding and management to ensure safety at all times.

Preventive treatment methods: avoid dog obesity and exercise appropriately

NO.2 Infectious diseases

Symptoms: Increased body temperature, lack of energy, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, and acute watery hemorrhagic diarrhea.

The most common fatal malignant infectious diseases are canine distemper and canine parvovirus enteritis. In addition to the fact that the owner has not properly vaccinated (the vaccination rate is less than one-third), the dog cannot manage its living environment independently. Dogs are indeed much more enthusiastic when meeting and greeting than humans, which often leads to disease transmission. Therefore, the best advice is to get vaccinated regularly and try to avoid the chance of infection. If you have a new dog member in your home, Remember to ask a doctor to do a health check first and isolate for a period of time for observation.

Preventive treatment methods: Be careful not to let your dog lick each other with other dogs of unknown origin, give regular vaccinations, antiserum treatment and a large amount of antibiotics.

NO.3 Accident injuries

Maybe you don’t believe it, but the death rate of dogs from accidents is higher than that of humans. Dogs are very curious and love to explore everywhere, whether indoors or outdoors, so owners need to fulfill their responsibilities in taking care of their pets.

Common fatal accidents for dogs include car accidents, falls from heights, crushing by heavy objects, electric shock, drowning, burns, heatstroke, food poisoning, snake bites, bee stings, chemical poisoning, etc. If you encounter mosquitoes and fleas in summer, In many seasons, owners often use pesticides and dogs have the habit of licking everywhere, which often causes dogs to be poisoned and die.

Among these accidents, heat stroke is the most easily ignored cause of death. The heat dissipation function of dogs is to dissipate heat through the evaporation of liquid from the tongue, soWhen the outside world becomes hot and humid, dogs are prone to heat stroke, resulting in insufficient blood flow to the liver and kidneys, causing brain hemorrhage and hematoma, followed by epilepsy, tremors, and coma. The fatality rate is very high, depending on the breed. It is said that Pekingese dogs, bulldogs, and pugs are most susceptible to heat stroke because of their short noses.

Prevention and treatment method: The only way is to ask the owner to be really careful.

No.4 malignant tumor

Symptoms: Rarely symptomatic

In fact, malignant tumors in dogs are often ignored in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of veterinarians. In particular, elderly dogs are often directly considered to simply die of old age. Basically, although dogs are easy to gain weight in their diet, they do not have as many carcinogenic foods as humans, and they are not likely to drink alcohol or stay up late in daily life, so the incidence rate is therefore reduced.

How to reduce the occurrence of malignant tumors? Birth control for female dogs can reduce the occurrence of mammary tumors. Birth control for male dogs can reduce the occurrence of prostate cancer. If you find that your dog has cryptorchidism, it should be surgically removed as soon as possible to avoid stromal cells.

At the same time, they should avoid obesity and reduce the use of flea killers to avoid transitional epithelial cell cancer.

Preventive treatment methods: Regular examinations.

​NO.5 Kidney disease

Symptoms: Hematuria, changes in urinary habits, or abnormal urine color

The frightening nature of dog kidney problems is mainly because infection can occur unknowingly during the course of kidney disease. When kidney problems are discovered, the damage to nephron cells has often exceeded 75%.

​There are no clinical symptoms in the early stages of heartworm disease. Common symptoms include poor mobility and cough. In severe cases, cachexia may occur, such as anemia, ascites, and asthma. Currently, there are very simple special test reagents that can be used for diagnosis. , the cure rate is high when discovered in the early stage, but the treatment effect is very poor when discovered in the late stage.

The method of treating heartworms is deworming. This process is relatively complicated, and the doctor must be quite professional. Before deworming, the dog’s heart and lung function needs to be evaluated, including a Duppler color cardiac ultrasound examination, and then Give the most appropriate treatment. Daily prevention is very important. It is best to take a preventive pill every month, coupled with a blood test every six months, you can effectively prevent heartworms.

Preventive treatment methods: Take preventive medicine regularly every month, and do a blood test every six months.

​HO.7 Blood parasites

Symptoms: weight loss, lack of energy, pale gum mucosa

Among the causes of death caused by blood parasites, pyrozoism in dogs is the most common. Pyrococcus is a blood parasitic disease transmitted by ticks. Pyrococcus is a protozoa that can only be seen with a microscope. The parasites parasitize in red blood cells and destroy them, causing hemolysis and severe anemia.

Different molds are also specifically infective to different breeds. The incidence rate in male dogs is three times that of female dogs. times; the third type of damage to lung function, that is, damage to the tissue between the alveoli and the alveoli, is often a secondary symptom of canine distemper infection; the fourth is bacterial pneumonia, which is more likely to occur in large male dog puppies who exercise a lot Higher; finally, there is immune pneumonia, in which congenital immune deficiency causes lung infection, and heartworm infection is also a common cause.

In addition to the typical symptoms, a large amount of yellowish discharge (nasal pus) will appear in the dog's nasal cavity; in addition to blood tests and X-rays, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing are effective ways to select drugs. In addition, if aerosol treatment can be provided to assist phlegm discharge and medicines are provided, it will have the best auxiliary effect. Young dogs often tend to develop chronic tracheitis after recovering from pneumonia, so caution must be taken.

Preventive treatment methods: Regular blood and X-ray examinations.

NO.9 Diabetes

Symptoms: Eating too much, drinking too much, urinating too much, losing weight

Diabetes is an endocrine disease. Its clinical symptoms are the same as those of humans, with three more and one less—eating more, drinking more, urinating more, and losing weight.

Female dogs without birth control are prone to pyometra due to bacterial infection and abnormal endocrine. Pussy. The risk of closed pyometra is higher.
