Although the dog is usually lively and feels good in health, it also has times when it is sick. The dog does not know how to take care of itself when it is sick. At this time, the owner needs to take care of it carefully. Many owners may be the first time they encounter a dog sick and do not know how to take care of it. Here are some suggestions for taking care of the dog!
1. First of all, symptomatic treatment (medicine)
In this way, you cannot determine the cause of the dog. Go to the veterinarian in time and do not delay the best treatment time.
2. Let the dog rest quietly, do not play with it, and let it be in a good state of treatment.
3. What dogs need most when they are sick is supplemented with protein, vitamins and inorganic salts.
If it is a fever, every 1 degree Celsius increase in body temperature, the metabolic level will increase by 10%, which means that the consumption of nutrients in the body is significantly higher than that of normal state. But diseases often affect digestive function. It has a bad appetite and will not eat food that is not suitable for food. Therefore, the food prepared for it should not only be easy to digest and nutritious, but also very delicious. Some diseases can cause reduced saliva secretion, causing difficulties in chewing and swallowing of food. You can mix the broth into the rations and make liquid or pasty foods; if you suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, especially vomiting and diarrhea, you will lose a lot of water. At this time, you should provide it with sufficient drinking water or large doses of intravenous infusion.
4. Eat less and eat more meals in your diet. Do not feed foods with more fat and crude fiber. Add lean meat or cooked eggs to foods with high nutritional value; for dogs with thin constitution, chicken liver is the first choice food.
5. Manage its daily life well and remove excrement in a timely manner.
Dog's food utensils, bedding and surrounding environment should be disinfected regularly; pay attention to the ambient temperature, keep warm in winter and ventilated in summer. When the dog is sick, the body temperature regulation function is reduced; when its body temperature is too high, in addition to using drugs to cool it, alcohol can be applied to the skin all over the body to cool it down.
