Treatment methods for dogs with pharyngitis:

1. Drink water frequently. Place the sick dog in a warm, dry, well-ventilated kennel and increase drinking water.

2. Apply warm compress to the throat. In order to promote the absorption of inflammatory exudates in dogs, warm water or white wine can be applied to the throat for 20 to 30 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times a day. Or rub 10% camphor alcohol on the throat, or apply compound lead acetate powder.

3. Rehydration therapy. When severely ill dogs cannot eat, 5% glucose saline can be used for intravenous infusion at 20 mg per kilogram of body weight.

4. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Use penicillin at 20,000 to 40,000 units per kilogram of body weight, plus dexamethasone at 0.1 to 0.5 mg per kilogram of body weight for intramuscular injection. Or use ampicillin at 0.2 to 0.4 mg per kilogram of body weight, plus dexamethasone at 0.1 to 0.5 mg per kilogram of body weight, and 0.5 ml of 2% procaine for pharyngeal sealing, twice a day.

5. Supplement nutrition. Strengthen care, replenish liquid food in time, and increase nutrition.
