Knowledge of pet dog nursing in spring

This season, many families with pets must also hope that their babies can be healthy, but recently they always find that their babies either cough or have diarrhea, which worries pet owners. So I will introduce some knowledge about pet care in spring.

I. the way of transmission of spring disease

1. Air infection

In spring, the wind in Beijing is relatively strong, and there is often sand-blowing weather. Pet droppings become relatively dry after a winter's weathering, while infectious diseases, parasites and parvoviruses are still contagious within a year. The wind will blow the droppings of animals far away, expanding the range of animals infected.

2. Direct contact infection

In spring, respiratory diseases are mainly transmitted through contact between animals, especially puppies, which lick each other's bodies, which is the most direct route of transmission.

3. Indirect contact infection

Animals do not have direct contact, and diseases are spread through people. For example, some people touch the owner's dog and the West's dog, and finally touch their own dog, especially the children, and pay less attention to hygiene. Hands become the most direct route of transmission.

Common diseases in spring and their prevention and treatment

1. Cough: there are two kinds of cough. one is because cold air stimulates the nasal mucosa, causing animals to cough. This cough is not viral, but is caused by dry air. You can generally put a humidifier at home to keep moisture in the air, or use some amoxicillin or Radix Isatidis. The other is infectious rhinotracheitis, also known as nest cough, which is often accompanied by a runny nose and needs to be treated in an animal hospital. If the animal only coughs at night, it may be caused by a big change in temperature at night, as long as you pay attention to keep warm at night.

2. Vomiting: cat vomiting, it may be cat plague, or vomiting hair; dog vomiting may be parvovirus or eat too much.

If it is spitting hair, just give the animal some dogtail grass or hair cream, but if it is suspected to be cat plague or parvovirus, then go to the pet hospital for treatment in time.

3. Diarrhea: dogs are prone to diarrhea. There are usually several situations:

① overfeeding, animal feces will contain undigested food, pay attention to the animal diet, less food, drink more water on the line, if the effect is not good, you can try vitamin B, dogs take one tablet, cats eat half a tablet.

② acute enteritis, animal feces are generally black or dark green. You can just take some penicillin and compound vitamin B.

③ infectious disease is caused by cats and dogs that have not been vaccinated, they should go to the hospital for laboratory tests and then prescribe the right medicine to the case.

Caused by ④ parasites, animal stools, such as sometimes dry and sometimes sparse, should be dewormed.

4. Eye shit: first of all, you can check whether there is hair stuck to the eyes, so that the eyes are caused by stimulation. If there is a small hole in the eye, it may be scratched by a cat or cut by something. Should go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment. Of course, sometimes getting angry can also cause more eye bowels.

There are many diseases in small animals in spring. Please pay attention to your dogs and hope they are healthy.
