What are the signs of a dog getting sick?
|
1, tossing frequently
It's not a big problem to shake your head occasionally after taking a shower, but shaking your head often usually means there is something wrong with your ears, such as otitis media and otitis media. Dogs usually shake their heads to relieve the discomfort inside their ears. One advantage of shaking their heads is to throw out the dirt deep in the ear canal. But this is just right. We can check the inner wall of the dog's ear to see if there is anything wrong with it. A normal dog's ears should be pink and have no peculiar smell. The hair in the ear is dry and does not stick to hands. If you find brown mucus inside the ear, it definitely means there is something wrong with the ear, usually inflammation of the ear canal. You can buy a bottle of ear drops for two days and take it to the hospital if you don't get better.
Step 2 lick your paws
Dogs don't like cleaning themselves up like cats. Dogs don't like licking their fur or paws under normal circumstances. If your dog keeps licking its paws, you must stop it in time, because it will get worse and worse. Sometimes the dog licks his toes because of wet paws or something stuck to them. If the stuck thing is all right, if the toe is inflamed, it will make the inflammation worse. At first, it was just a small erythema. After licking for two days, you will lose your hair and lose your bag. If it is serious, it will be red, swollen and purulent. So as long as you find it licking its claws, be sure to check its feet, especially its toes, for redness and swelling immediately. If you can't see clearly, you can simply apply some anti-inflammatory ointment to the wet place where it licks, and then put a small sock on its foot so that it can't lick the affected area. It should be ready soon.
3, licking hair, or licking hair
This is usually a sign of local itching, indicating that it is not licking or gnawing hair, but licking or gnawing the skin below, which will definitely hurt. If you find this situation, all you have to do is find the problem skin, apply medicine to it, and then wrap it locally to prevent it from licking or biting.
4. Rub your ass, flick your tail and step on your anus.
You will think that this is a bad habit of dogs. In fact, many times it just means that its ass is uncomfortable, such as anal inflammation caused by the anal gland not being cleaned in time, or sitting on the ground and wiping its ass when there is shit on the anus. If it is found that there is no excrement on the hair around the anus, but the anus is a little red and swollen, it may be anal cystitis. If pink prolapse appears just after defecation, it may be rectal prolapse or anal prolapse, which needs timely treatment.
5, rubbing your eyes and rubbing your head
Dogs generally don't rub their eyes or their heads. If you find this action frequently, it is likely that your eyes are inflamed. At the same time, there will be tears in the eyes, too much gum, sticky secretions and dark and smelly eyes. You can give it some fluoromycin eye drops first, observe it for a day or two, and take it to the doctor as soon as possible if it doesn't get better.
