One leaf knows autumn~ From the hot summer to the cool early autumn, the temperature and air humidity have dropped significantly, and the temperature difference between morning and evening has gradually increased. The owners' wardrobe has entered the season for changing equipment in the autumn and winter. So how should pets spend the change of seasons and what should they pay attention to? In addition to adding a coat to your dog at home, you should also take care of yourself in all aspects such as diet and cleaning.
1. What should you pay attention to when taking care of dogs in the season?
1. Avoid pet colds:
The autumn rains are continuous, and the temperature difference between day and night is the culprit of dogs' illnesses
The temperature difference between day and night in autumn is large, which is an important reason for dogs' colds. Especially for short-nosed dogs, such as small dogs such as Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Teddy, Bichon, etc., they are prone to colds and should be careful to keep warm. Colds can also occur when bathing pets. After bathing them in this season, you must use a hairdryer to dry them. The temperature of the blowing air should not be too high to avoid frequent cold and hot situations. You should put a sleeping mat or soft cloth on the pet's nest, and don't let your pet's warm body sleep directly on the cold floor. Don’t feed dogs hot food because it’s cold. The dog’s tongue and stomach are prone to burns. This warmth method suitable for humans is not suitable for pets. After winter, you can choose some vitamin supplements and high-calorie foods for your dog.
2. Avoid dogs being disturbed by insects:
The weather in autumn is getting cooler but not enough to freeze to death. Dogs generally adapt to this ideal season and like to use their own body to get close to the lawn to relax in full. Keep your dog from being bitten by certain insects while playing on the grass. Insect biting dermatitis can cause itching in dogs. They will not be expressed in words and will only scratch, rub or chew, causing secondary skin damage. At this time, it is best to go to a reputable pet clinic or pet hospital for a skin disease examination for the dog and take medication based on the examination results.
3. Vaccination on time:
Injection of vaccines can ensure the safety of humans and animals. Including domestic pets who never go out, if they have not been vaccinated and have no resistance to many diseases, they may have already brought the virus when they are taken back, and they will become ill when their physical condition is poor. In addition, people often go to social places and will inevitably be exposed to animal secretions, and there is also the possibility of carrying the virus. Therefore, pets who do not leave the door and do not step into the door must also be prevented from happening.
2. Dogs should pay attention to the following symptoms
1. Symptom 1: Dogs are walking in the "My Lin" style, they don't want to eat or eat, and they don't grab the food if they don't eat cans. This situation is also one of the common seasonal changes. If the dog fails to adapt, anorexia will occur. At this time, you can feed it some pet-probiotic probiotics, which can well regulate the dog's stomach and intestines and help the dog recover its appetite.
2. Symptom 2: The nose is continuously dry or runny, which is a direct manifestation of the discomfort of a pet having a cold. Note that dogs do not need nose moisturizer or handkerchief with them. What they need is the owner to observe more. If you really catch a cold, don’t use cold medicines for human use indiscriminately. It is best to use cold medicines for pets. You can give the dog some dry cough (Chinese patent medicine), which is specially used for dogs to treat colds and fevers.
3. Symptom 3: Golden stool does not appear. Healthy puppies defecate about twice a day. The color depends on the food. Dog poop is usually brown-black or yellow-brown. When diarrhea and constipation occur, it is recommended that the owner pay more attention and observe carefully when picking up the poop. If it continues, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
4. Symptom 4: The eyes are quite eye boredom and tears, which can regulate pet anti-inflammatory eye drops.
5. Symptom 5: Body temperature rise. Health conditions can be judged by the dog's body temperature. The body temperature of healthy dogs is about 38.5℃, and the body temperature of puppies is slightly higher. If a person has a fever, you can touch his forehead and look at his cheeks. Dogs do not have these conditions. They can only rely on their owner's keen eyes and love him. If you find that the dog is listless and has a loss of appetite, quickly wrap the dog tightly and go to the hospital.
