Shiba Inu (details)

When your dog has a fever, don't blindly give the dog medicine. Some antipyretics may kill dogs. If there is no pet hospital nearby, you may wish to try the following family treatment methods to help the dog relieve symptoms, but pay attention to seeing a doctor as soon as possible to confirm that the dog does have a fever, so as not to worsen the condition.

First of all, if you find your dog's body temperature is too high and listless, and you find your dog has a fever after trying on the watch, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible, let the doctor seriously diagnose the real cause of the fever, and then symptomatic treatment is the best way. The family therapy mentioned below is limited to the situation that there is no condition to go to the hospital at one time.

Easy-to-find antipyretics for people: Bian Xiao consulted the Manual for Quick Inspection of Dog and Cat Drugs published by Agricultural University and found two easy-to-find antipyretics commonly used by people. Dogs can be given some antipyretic drugs according to the following dosage: ① aspirin: 10 mg/kg body weight twice a day; ② Tylenol: 10 mg/kg body weight, twice a day.

Physical cooling of dogs with fever: When dogs are found to have a high fever, try to lower their body temperature as much as possible, and don't damage organs because of high temperature, which is the same as when people happen. We can wipe the dog's stomach, soles and armpits with alcohol to help the dog lower his temperature. If there is no wine at home, you can use tap water. The problem with dogs is that they are covered with Mao Mao. At this time, don't be afraid of Mao Mao who gets the dog wet. Just rub it on the skin with cold water, but don't get the dog wet all over. In addition, you can also wrap an ice pack with a towel and put it in the dog's four leg nests in turn. Dogs can't stand being kept in one leg nest.
