When raising dogs, many poop owners must have encountered the situation of dogs having hot stomachs. So why do dogs have such symptoms? In fact, there are several reasons for this, do you know?
1. Fever
If your dog has red ears, dry nose, lethargy, loss of appetite, frequent drinking of water and other symptoms in addition to a very hot belly, it is likely to have a fever. It is recommended that owners measure the dog's temperature. If it exceeds 39.5 degrees, it is considered a fever. At this time, you can first physically cool down the dog, use alcohol to wipe the dog's foot pads, ears, groin and other parts, and at the same time give the dog plenty of water to promote metabolism. However, if the body temperature is higher than 40 degrees Celsius, it means that the dog is in a high fever state and needs to go to the pet hospital for treatment in time to avoid aggravating the condition.
2. Just after exercise
If the dog has just finished exercise, its body will naturally be hotter, so it is normal for its belly to be hot. At this time, the owner can take the dog to a quiet and cool place to rest for a while, and prepare enough drinking water for the dog, so that it can recover slowly.
3. The weather is too hot
Dogs have fewer sweat glands and weaker heat dissipation capabilities, so they may also cause a hot stomach in hot summer. As long as the dog has no other abnormalities, take the dog to a cooler place to cool down and give the dog more water to recover. In addition, owners should also pay attention to bringing more water with them when the weather is hot. It is best to feed the dog water every 10 minutes to prevent the dog from heat stroke.
