First, the cause of dog pharyngitis
1, dogs get pharyngitis mostly because they eat hard and sharp food, chemicals or cold and hot stimuli.
2, in addition, secondary to other infectious diseases is also a common situation, such as cat stomatitis.
Second, the clinical symptoms of canine pharyngitis
1. The obvious characteristics of pharyngitis in dogs are dysphagia and drooling. Dogs with pharyngitis will find it difficult to swallow food, so that they will highlight food or not eat it. There will be a lot of sticky saliva that often accumulates in the mouth and flows out in a filiform way, or a dog will flow out in large quantities as soon as it opens its mouth.
2. The sick dog's head and neck are often stretched and there is less activity. When their pharynx is pressed, the sick dog will struggle to get out of the way, causing it to cough after touching it.
3, because the dog has difficulty swallowing, the food intake will be reduced, so if it is not treated for a long time, it will lead to weight loss and thinness.
4. If it is secondary pharyngitis, the systemic symptoms are more obvious.
Third, the prevention and treatment measures of dog pharyngitis
1. The owner needs to put the sick dog in a warm, dry and well-ventilated kennel. For dogs with mild illness, you can feed them liquid food and let them drink more water.
2. In order to promote the smooth absorption or discharge of inflammatory exudates in dogs, patients can be given cold compress at an early stage and hot compress after 2~3 days.
If the sick dog is too sick to eat, the owner should stop feeding. At this time, intravenous injection 10-25% glucose solution or enema is needed to supplement nutrition. This serious case requires systemic treatment with antibiotics or sulfonamides.
