Self-examination method for dogs not eating

For mild symptoms, appropriate observation can be performed

In summer, dogs are prone to heat stroke and gastroenteritis and other digestive system diseases! If it is heatstroke, the dog needs to be cooled down in time; if the stool is not the same as usual, it may be diarrhea caused by food spoilage in summer, or it may be gastroenteritis. At this time, the dog will appear in poor spirits and lose appetite.
After observation, if the condition is not serious, the feces collector can feed a little probiotics appropriately. But if your condition still doesn’t improve after feeding with probiotics, you need to ask your pet doctor for help in time.

For serious symptoms, send to the hospital immediately

In case the dog has severe diarrhea, the smell is stinky, and it is accompanied by vomiting yellow water. Then you can wonder if there is dog distemper or parvovirus. In this case, it is recommended that you send your dog to the hospital immediately, where he may need to be injected with antibiotics!
In addition, some skin diseases may also cause loss of appetite in dogs.
The owner can check the dog's fur in time for self-examination. The illness cycle of skin diseases is relatively long. We detect it early and treat it promptly.

Check whether the dog is deficient in trace elements

If the dog does not have the above symptoms, it means the dog may be deficient in trace elements!
Symptoms of lack of trace elements include:
Love to eat feces and urine,
Chewing soil, eating grass and other pica
Picky eaters and anorexia
If you have the above symptoms, it is recommended to give the dog Dogs need to supplement trace elements!

If your dog doesn’t eat, pay attention to light food

The dog’s appetite is also related to the weather. Dogs in cold weather like to eat dry food, while dogs in hot weather like to eat thin and light food. You can make some porridge or other light food for it, feed it some vegetables and fruits, or buy some yogurt and put it in the dog food for it to eat. But don’t feed people meals and snacks. Too much oil and salt will make you more likely to be picky eaters in the future.
Large dogs with strong intestines and stomachs can also be fed a little homemade ice cream.
How to make homemade dog ice cream: After soaking the dog food at home, add a little bit of sugar or mix in some canned dog food, pour it into an ice cube tray, put it in the refrigerator, take it out after an hour, and let the dog slowly Lick it carefully to avoid eating too much at once and causing diarrhea. It is a bit like red bean popsicle~
More suitable for medium and large dogs. Dogs with weak stomachs should not try ice cream!

Hunger therapy and exercise therapy for dogs that don’t eat

Strengthening physical exercise and increasing the amount of exercise for dogs are also good ways to regulate appetite.
Generally, small toy dogs only need to prepare more toys at home, such as dog chews and pull ropes for them to play and exercise. Usually, making them run and jump can satisfy their exercise capacity.
However, large dogs must exercise outdoors more, and walking the dog is a good way. Running with the dog not only exercises the dog, but also exercises yourself; the dog's appetite increases, and his own weight also decreases.
Of course, it is recommended to exercise in summer before 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning and after 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening. The scorching sun is shining brightly at noon, and it’s easy for people and themselves to suffer from heat stroke...
If all the above methods don’t work, you can try starvation therapy!
Start your dog by starving it for 24 hours. Drink plenty of water during the fasting period, and your appetite can usually be restored the next day. In order to ensure their strong appetite, they can stop eating one day a week! However, this method also varies from dog to dog. Dogs with stubborn tempers or bad gastrointestinal problems should not try it~
