How to keep dogs away from minor diseases

I have a friend with a dog at home. Have you ever heard of minor ailments? This disease, which is common in spring and winter, has recently made many dogs miserable. About the specific situation of this disease, the reporter consulted Dr. Jia from the Animal Hospital of Shijiazhuang Animal Husbandry Bureau, hoping to be helpful to you.

There are three kinds of symptoms.

Minor disease is a terrible infectious disease for dogs, with a high mortality rate. Dogs of all ages can be infected, especially for young dogs, who are more likely to get the disease.

Dogs have an incubation period of about 7 days after they are infected with minor diseases. Its symptoms are divided into three types: gastroenteritis type, sick dogs will vomit and pull, serious will defecate; myocarditis type, which is similar to human heart disease, sick dogs often die before treatment; gastroenteritis and myocarditis mixed type, the condition is the most serious.

The cause of illness

Petty disease is a contagious disease, which is generally divided into two ways: direct transmission and indirect transmission.

If a healthy dog smells the urine and urine of a dog with a minor disease, or has close contact with a sick dog, and the strong wind spreads the feces and urine of the sick dog, it can cause direct infection. The second is indirect infection, that is, owners come into contact with sick dogs and come into contact with healthy dogs without disinfection.

Treatment and prevention

The sudden onset of minor illness, serious illness, so that many owners are unprepared. In fact, as long as the careful owner finds that the dog has signs of illness, he will take him to see a doctor, and minor ailments can still be cured without wasting treatment time.

Although treatment is important, early prevention is more important. First of all, when dog owners take their dogs outdoors, try not to go to places with many dogs, such as parks where dogs are often walked, pet hospitals, pet markets and so on. If you go, be sure to use disinfectant or soap to disinfect.

Second, don't let your dog smell the urine and urine of other dogs, and try to avoid contact between your dog and strange dogs.

The most effective way of prevention is to vaccinate dogs as early as possible, especially those with weaker physique, which will improve their immunity and increase the success rate of treatment.
