The human resistance of dogs is not as good as that of humans. They are very susceptible to sudden temperature reduction and poor feeding of pet owners. Although a cold is not a major disease, just send it to the hospital for a look, if the owner keeps holding it and fails to solve it, it will not be possible to indulge the dog in a cold. If the condition worsens, it will develop into a lung infection, which will endanger your life. Therefore, the owner must pay attention to it and immediately adopt appropriate countermeasures to help the dog recover as soon as possible.
1. Add clothes appropriately to keep warm.
After the dog catches a cold, whether it is due to weather changes or does not immediately dry your hair after taking a shower, you must first keep the cold warm to prevent it from catching a cold again, so that you can work again later. If a dog likes to lie on the cold wooden floor because of cold food, the owner needs to put a blanket for it to prevent its abdomen from directly touching the wooden floor. It also needs to add some clothes and pants according to the temperature change. When the weather is cold, prepare a warm dog's nest in advance. If it is hot, there is no need to blow the central air conditioner all the time. In addition, during the cold period, the owner cannot bathe or vaccinate the dog, otherwise the condition will be very likely to aggravate.
2. Fill in nutrition immediately.
Nutritional supplements are one of the key tasks to help dogs recover from their health as soon as possible. During the cold period, the dog's nutrition is outflowing rapidly, and some may also harm their appetite due to discomfort in the cold. Therefore, the owner should prepare a variety of colorful and nutritious diets for the dog in advance to stimulate its appetite and help fill in nutrition. You can make some big bone soup, chicken liver powder, minced meat porridge, etc. yourself, and then mix it with nutritional supplements like Quick Residence to help your dog improve nutrition and maintain all normal physiological functions during the cold period. If necessary, you can take some meow and amo. If the dog still has no appetite, why not prepare honey lemonade and yogurt in advance to regulate appetite and promote digestion.
3. Check the body temperature frequently.
The human body temperature fluctuates greatly after the dog catches a cold. The owner should pay attention to check whether the dog has a high fever. Use a thermometer to measure the dog accurately every day. It is recommended to use a small pet thermometer to measure it to prevent missed conditions due to deviations. When the dog's body temperature is found to exceed 39.5℃, the owner needs to send the dog to the hospital for a fever-reducing injection, otherwise the high fever will burn the dog's head and nervous system and endanger the IQ.
4. Aware of canine distemper.
In addition to the basic countermeasures above, pet owners should also pay attention to the symptoms of canine distemperment and subtle causes of similar colds. When they find that the dog not only has dry cough, sneezing and runny nose, but also has diarrhea and fever, persistent high fever, and always want to sleep and refuse to eat, they should immediately send a medical examination and treat it under the specific guidance of the pet doctor.
