Symptoms of dog illness 1. Fever

Fever is a symptom of common diseases in dogs. It is also a precursor to many life-threatening diseases, so it should not be taken lightly.
If your dog is feeling weak, too lazy to move, and has a dry nose, it is likely that he has a fever. At this time, the owner should measure the dog's temperature. The normal body temperature of dogs is slightly higher than that of humans, about 38.5 degrees. Puppies will be taller. If the temperature of the dog reaches 40 degrees, it means that it has a fever and must be sent to the doctor immediately.

Symptoms of dog illness 2. Shivering for no reason

If the dog keeps shivering when it is not cold, it should attract the attention of parents. The cause of morbid trembling is problems with the dog's nervous system, such as encephalitis, canine distemper and other diseases. Because the dog's nerves are damaged by viruses, the dog trembles.
If the dog is not shivering because of the cold outside environment, it may be shivering abnormally. At this time, the owner should be vigilant and send him to the hospital immediately.

Symptoms of dog illness 3. Vomiting more than twice within 12 hours

Dogs have very developed vomiting nerves, which is a function of dog self-protection. When dogs eat foreign objects, they will actively vomit it out. Some dogs are not used to riding in cars and suffer from motion sickness and vomiting. This is a normal phenomenon and parents do not need to worry too much.
If your dog vomits severely, not only food but also water, it may be suffering from gastritis and needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Symptoms of dog illness 4. Diarrhea

Dogs are mostly gluttons. If they eat too much and cannot digest it, it will cause diarrhea. In this case, you need to fast for a day. However, if diarrhea is accompanied by blood in the stool, it is often caused by parasites or other infectious diseases. Parents should pay enough attention and beware of viral diseases.

Symptoms of dog illness 5. Constipation or soft and bloody feces

There are many reasons for dog constipation, one of the important reasons is feeding too many hard bones. Long-term constipation is detrimental to the health of dogs, especially older dogs, and can also cause prostate enlargement in male dogs. Some dogs develop gastric volvulus or even intestinal blockage. Therefore, if a dog is often constipated, parents should adjust the dog’s diet in time.
