As soon as autumn comes, pets' physiology will undergo some changes. They are often restless and barking, which often disturbs pet owners from resting well. But do you know what diseases pets are susceptible to in autumn? How can pet owners prevent their pets from contracting diseases? Next, let’s take a look at some tips for pet care in autumn.
Infectious diseases and autumn diarrhea
Speaking of infectious diseases such as feline distemper/canine parvovirus, they actually occur all year round. But autumn is the peak season. Because the cool climate in autumn increases the survival rate and activity of germs, coupled with the emergence of symptoms such as colds, germs take advantage of the weakness and increase the chance of getting sick.
In addition, because (food freshness) germs multiply quickly in autumn, food deteriorates quickly, and the temperature difference between day and night is large in autumn, and the climate is unpredictable, which can easily cause pets to suffer from intestinal diseases or diarrhea due to cold.
Preventive measures:
Vaccinate pets regularly and check for antibodies regularly. Pay attention to the freshness of pet food in daily life. Don't feed them food that's too cold. It is best to sterilize and heat the food in the refrigerator before feeding.
Upper respiratory tract diseases
The climate in autumn is changeable and the temperature difference is large, causing the pet's respiratory mucosa to be constantly stimulated by the alternation of hot and cold, and the resistance is weakened. This gives opportunities for pathogenic microorganisms to take advantage of, especially when the environment is poorly ventilated, making laryngotracheitis more likely to spread between pets. If left untreated, respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia will follow as upper respiratory tract inflammation breaks out, usually accompanied by severe asthma, fever and cough. If the furry child at home is a dog, you will have "kennel cough." "Kennel cough" is also infectious bronchitis, a disease of the respiratory organs. When it occurs, the dog will cough and vomit, and must drink more water. If it persists, it will turn into secondary bronchopneumonia and fever. 
Preventive measures:
Owners should add or remove clothing for their pets appropriately according to weather changes. For puppies, elderly dogs, breeds with natural constitution, and dogs with weak body resistance, more attention should be paid to keeping warm in autumn. For the place where they rest and sleep daily, ensure air circulation, clean and dry environment, and use soft and warm blankets. In addition, don’t forget to vaccinate your pet once a year. In the autumn when canine distemper and canine cough are highly prevalent, you must not forget to vaccinate your owners regularly. Many diseases in pets can be transmitted to humans through the air or other vectors.
Parasitic Diseases
This autumn season is not only a good season for going out and playing, but also the peak period for the breeding of various parasites. When we take our pets for outdoor sports, if we do not take preventive measures, we may be infected with internal or external parasitic diseases.
Preventive measures:
Deworm the pet internally and externally on time, especially after playing outdoors, pay more attention to whether there are infected external parasites. Also, pay attention to your pet's food hygiene and ensure that they do not pick up food or drink contaminated water.
Other matters that need attention
1. Pay attention to deworming when furry children come in and out.
Appropriate spraying of external insect repellent on the body is very effective against fleas and other parasites.
2. Take timely measures to keep warm
Strengthen care, do not bathe too frequently, and remember to blow-dry your hair after washing to prevent the owner from catching cold.
3. Pay attention to the hygiene of furry children.
Disinfect the kennel regularly, clean its toys and quilts, and try to take the dog to a dry and ventilated place outdoors.
