Cold and treatment of dogs

[etiology]

The main reason is that it is affected by the cold, especially when the feeding management is not appropriate, it is more likely to occur. For example, sleeping on a cold night, lying in a cool place for a long time, attacking by thieves, being stimulated by cold water after sweating or tears wading across the river, and long-term feeding in a cold and humid environment can reduce the mucosal resistance of the upper respiratory tract and promote the occurrence of the disease.

[main points of diagnosis]

The sick dog is depressed in spirit, indifferent in expression, irregular in skin temperature, cold at the tip of the ear and nose. Conjunctival flushing or mild swelling, tears, elevated body temperature, often cough, runny nose, itching of the nasal mucosa of sick dogs, often scratching the nose before claws. In severe cases, they are afraid of cold and light, dry mouth and tongue, faster breathing and increased pulse.

Usually according to the sick dog cough, runny nose, elevated body temperature, irregular skin temperature, shy tears and other symptoms, combined with cold history, it is not difficult to make a diagnosis.

[prevention and control measures]

First, early intramuscular injection of 30% analgin, antongan solution or butin solution, once a day, 2 ml each time. Acetaminophen can also be taken internally, with a dosage of 0.1m / g / time.

Second, improve the conditions of feeding and management, pay attention to keeping warm, prevent the attack of thieves, and strengthen cold prevention measures when the climate changes suddenly. Pay attention to the daily cold tolerance exercise to enhance the dog's resistance.

Third, it is secondary to the spread of some infectious diseases or inflammation of adjacent organs.

[main points of diagnosis]

The main results are as follows: (1) at the beginning of acute rhinitis, the nasal mucosa is flushed, swollen and sneezed frequently. the sick dogs often shake their head or scratch their nose with their front claws, and then snot out of one or both nostrils, which is transparent at first, and then becomes serous or mucous purulent, and then forms a dry scab around the nostrils after drying. When the condition is serious, the nasal mucosa is obviously swollen, narrowing the nasal cavity, affecting breathing, and nasal sounds can often be heard. When accompanied by conjunctivitis, shyness shed tears. When accompanied with pharyngitis, the sick dog showed dysphagia, cough and enlarged mandibular lymph nodes.

(2) the development of chronic rhinitis is slow, snot is more and less, and most of them are mucous purulent. When inflammation spreads to the paranasal sinuses, it can often cause bone necrosis and tissue disintegration, so the nose may be mixed with blood and a rotten smell. Chronic rhinitis can often become the cause of asphyxia or encephalopathy, which should be paid attention to.

It can be diagnosed according to the symptoms of the nasal cavity, such as flushing and swelling of the nasal mucosa, running nose, sneezing and scratching the nose.

[prevention and control measures]

For the treatment of rhinitis, we should first remove the cause, put the sick dog in a warm environment, stop the training of the dog, and have a proper rest. Generally speaking, acute mildly ill dogs can be cured without medication. For severe rhinitis, the following drugs can be used to flush the nasal cavity of sick dogs: 1% saline, 2% mae 3% boric acid solution, 1% sodium bicarbonate solution, 0.1% potassium permanganate solution, etc., but when flushing the nasal cavity, the head of the sick dog must be lowered, and anti-inflammatory agents are injected into the nose after washing. In order to promote vasoconstriction and reduce sensitivity, 0.1% epinephrine or phenyl salicylate (Sarro) paraffin oil (1:10) can be used for nasal drops, or nasal drops can be used.
