Many owners who just raised pets often report that their dogs get sick after they get home, either having a cold or enteritis. Why does some owners not have this problem when they raise them? Do we not take care of them carefully or do we have not mastered basic common sense skills? Let’s take a look at the eight major reasons that can easily cause puppies to get sick. Novice should pay great attention to them!
[Reason 1] Sudden changes food, not following the method of gradually changing food, suddenly changing food, the dog cannot adapt, which often causes digestive tract diseases.
Plan: Step by step, even if you change dog food, you must slowly exchange it.
[Reason 2] Feeding well and overdose. I am afraid that the dog will not eat well and will not be full. I will have everything you have; you feed it, I will feed it, the owner will feed it, relatives and friends; it will be strange if you don’t get sick within three days.
Response plan: Scientific breeding, do not spoil or feed randomly, mainly dog food, you can add some vegetables and special milk powder appropriately, and never eat what greasy people eat.
[Reason 3] Playing too much with pets, adults play, children play, you hug them, I tease them, the dogs can't get rest.
Coping plan: In fact, puppies, like children, must have sufficient sleep time during the development stage, and should have 14-16 hours of sleep every day.
【Reason 4】Puppies are incomplete immunity, have poor resistance, and are prone to illness.
Response plan: After the puppies have more than 40 days, their health needs to be immunized in time and take good care of them.
[Reason 5] If you are not adapted to the new environment, the dog will leave the original living environment and come to a strange place. It will feel lonely and helpless and miss the original owner. If you do not take care of it carefully, the dog will get sick. Especially puppies, who have just been weaned and leave their siblings, are not used to them. If the food and room temperature do not meet the requirements, they are more likely to get sick.
Coping plan: accompany more, communicate, give dogs a sense of security, and adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.
[Reason 6] Improper bathing. Some owners think that the dog is dirty and bathes the dog as soon as they buy it home without blowing it dry. The dog is prone to illness.
Countermeasure: It is best not to take a bath for newly purchased dogs. Turn on the heater in time is not enough. The evaporation of water will also take away the heat in the dog's body, resulting in a decrease in resistance.
【Reason 7】When going out to contact other dogs, they are infected with diseases. Even for vaccinated dogs, the protection rate is not 100%, let alone dogs without immunization.
Countermeasure: Do not take out play during the isolation and observation of dogs, do not contact other dogs, or even do not touch other dog owners to prevent cross-infection.
[Reason 8] Some owners mistakenly believe that it is enough to get vaccinated. Their own dogs rarely go out, so it doesn’t matter whether they can deworm them or not.
Coping plan: In fact, deworming and immunity are equally important. Puppies will be infected with parasites from the female dog's body or external environment. It is very harmful and must not be paralyzed and have a lucky mentality.
