Teddy dog's obesity is as serious as human obesity! Being overweight will shorten the life span of dogs and cause many diseases, such as heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, bone problems, arthritis, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and skin diseases. And when the weight is higher than the normal state, the probability of causing the above diseases is higher, so as the owner of Teddy dog, we must pay close attention to it in our daily life!
The key to treat Teddy dog's obesity is to reduce the calorie intake of dogs in food, at the same time increase the exercise and increase the energy consumption of the body. Therefore, it is best to feed Teddy dogs with high fiber, low fat and low calorie food. Feeding should be regular and quantitative, and dogs should not be given snacks except training. Formulate and implement an effective and regular exercise plan and take the dog out for a walk at ordinary times. Give Teddy a regular physical examination and follow the veterinarian's advice.
As a responsible owner, for the sake of your Teddy dog, please don't underestimate its obesity!
In this seemingly calm season, dogs actually need to know a lot.
Ophthalmology:
Pay special attention to Teddy dog's eye diseases all year round. However, in winter, due to lifestyle changes and negligence, there will be some eye problems, such as the collar is too tight to hold the neck, which will increase the intraocular pressure, or dogs with short noses and prominent eyeballs are easily injured by clothing accessories or accessories.
Respiratory department:
The temperature difference will make the trachea sensitive, which may easily lead to respiratory infection, cough, or inhalation of allergens, causing skin reactions. The drop in temperature causes vasoconstriction, vascular resistance and blood pressure to rise. The body uses heat to keep body temperature, which increases the heart load and aggravates the original cardiovascular diseases. In cold weather, the blood flow rate becomes worse and the water intake is insufficient. Teddy bear poodles, who are already suffering from renal failure or renal failure, have become frequent visitors to the hospital.
Dermatology:
Skin diseases will not stop in winter, and the climate varies from place to place, which may cause skin diseases all year round. Most people think that fleas start to sleep in winter. In fact, fleas just lost their mobility, but they are still biting Teddy dogs. Flea removal products should be used once every 3 ~ 4 weeks throughout the year, regardless of season.
Orthopedics:
Because the weather is wet and cold, the blood circulation is easy to be bad, and the joint tissue can not be discharged from the body with the change of external temperature, causing joint pain and swelling. The first step to protect joints is to keep warm. Put a warm pad on half the sleeping pad of Teddy dogs, so that they can choose whether to sleep on the warm pad or not. If the Teddy dog wants to sleep on the ground, it doesn't have to be stopped, but it must avoid humidity.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Teddy dogs can certainly make up in winter, but it is not necessary, because the usual feed already contains enough nutrition. If you need extra tonic, remember not to add salt and seasoning. You eat too much. Mild and simple prescriptions such as sesame oil chicken, Siwu decoction and Shiquan Dabu decoction can be directly used by Teddy dogs, but common prescriptions such as mutton stove, ginger duck and stewed ribs must be avoided.
In order to love beauty, people will try their best to lose weight, especially women. But when you are proud of your increasingly beautiful figure, have you found that the Teddy dog around you has also become round and fat? Maybe you even think it's cute because of its chubby appearance, but do you know that Teddy Dog's obesity has begun to bring it pain, which will endanger its health and life at any time!
Teddy dogs are obese for several reasons, mainly:
First, the reason for the breed, the chihuahua in the small dog. Dog breeds such as short-haired sausages and bullfights are easy to get fat.
2. Overfeeding and unbalanced nutrition can easily lead to obesity in dogs. At present, some pet foods contain too much salt and fat, which will lead to overeating and obesity in dogs.
Third, lack of exercise. Due to limited conditions, many dogs are kept in apartments and seldom exercise. Buying pet dogs, especially older dogs, often leads to obesity due to insufficient exercise.
Fourth, diseases, some diseases, such as endocrine disorders, abnormal metabolism, abnormal thyroid and adrenal function in dogs, can all cause obesity. Another common phenomenon is to feed the dog leftovers and biscuits from three meals a day, which is also an important reason for the dog to gain weight.
