What will happen if dogs drink milk?

1. Normal dog:
Dog’s breast milk is high in protein, high in fat and low in lactose; milk is Low protein, low fat, high lactose. It can be seen that the nutrition of milk cannot meet normal growth needs at all.

2. Lactose intolerant dogs
It can be said that the dog’s body is seriously lacking in lactase, which results in the ingestion of lactose in the milk of the human body. It cannot be converted into galactose and glucose for absorption and utilization in the small intestine. Instead, it directly enters the large intestine, which increases the osmotic pressure of the intestinal cavity and causes the large intestinal mucosa to absorb a large amount of water. In addition, lactose can produce lactic acid through bacterial fermentation in the intestine, which changes the intestinal PH value. Drops below 6, thereby irritating the large intestine, causing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas and diarrhea.

3. Dogs with milk allergy:
This situation is usually in the minority, but there are some cases. In case of milk allergy, it may also affect the dog’s health. It is life-threatening, so do not feed milk to this kind of dog.
4.Dogs after abdominal and gastrectomy surgery:
After surgery, the lactase in the dog’s body will be affected and reduced. After drinking milk, lactose will If it cannot be decomposed, it will ferment in the body, producing water, lactic acid and a large amount of carbon dioxide, which will make the dog bloated. During abdominal surgery, the intestinal tube is exposed to the air for a long time, and the mesentery is stretched, which delays the recovery of intestinal peristalsis after surgery. The gas produced in the intestinal cavity due to swallowing or fermentation cannot be discharged in time, which will aggravate abdominal distension and may cause abdominal pain, intra-abdominal The pressure increases, and the sutures may even bulge and crack, and the abdominal wall incision may split.
