The temperature changes greatly in spring, with a lot of wind and sand, which greatly stimulates the upper respiratory tract. The decline in local resistance causes some permanent bacteria that originally exist in the respiratory tract to take the opportunity to get sick. At the same time, the inhaled fine dust particles mostly carry pathogenic sources such as pollen, bacteria or viruses.
Spleen and stomach dysfunction and indigestion are also common in spring. Improper diet and insufficiency can lead to the recurrence of original chronic gastrointestinal diseases or induce new digestive system diseases. Therefore, attention should be paid to keep warm and cold and balanced nutrition. Especially for elderly pets, their physical functions gradually decline and they cannot adapt to external changes in time, making them prone to problems such as diarrhea or constipation.
The climate in spring is dry and the skin becomes dry and sensitive. At the same time, flowers bloom and everything revives, so the proportion of allergic diseases caused by allergic sources such as pollen and mites has also increased. It is manifested as symptoms such as redness, itching, rash, increased dandruff and hair loss.
There are two types of coughs. One is caused by temperature changes and cold air stimulating the nasal mucosa. This cough is not viral, but is caused by dry air. Generally, you can put a humidifier at home to keep the moisture in the air. In addition, you can give your pet an appropriate amount of amoxicillin or isatis root.
The other type is infectious rhinotracheitis, also known as foetus cough. This cough is often accompanied by a runny nose and requires treatment at an animal hospital. If the animal just coughs at night, it may be caused by large changes in the temperature at night, just pay attention to keeping warm at night.
