Hello! This is duz😇

​
It would be nice to talk whenever the dog is sick, but unfortunately, they often notice it late because they cannot talk and even try to hide their pain.

In order to be aware of the symptoms in the daily life that dogs express when they are sick, today we are going to learn about them when they are sick. 🤗

 

 

A change in appetite

 

One of the noticeable symptoms is a change in appetite.

​If your appetite decreases, you may have pain in the inside of your mouth or digestive system.

​Conversely, if your appetite is increased, it could be a hormonal problem, but it could be due to digestive problems 😨

​Most digestive diseases are caused by loss of appetite, but some digestive diseases, such as diabetes, do not absorb nutrients well, which can lead to increased appetite.

Also, it may be a symptom of a brain problem that causes food intake to not be controlled.

 

 

 

Decreased activity

Decreased activity is one of the most typical symptoms 😰

​Just as it is difficult for humans to move because their bodies are heavy when they are sick, so dogs do the same.

If your dog's active movements are noticeably reduced and you get tired more easily than usual when taking a walk, you can get sick somewhere in your body, so you should see a doctor.

 

 

 

Weight loss

 

If there is no change in the amount of food your dog eats, but the weight continues to fall, it may be an abnormality in your body.

As if it is a sign that a person loses weight without any special cause is not healthy, so are dogs.

​The nutrients consumed by cancer or tumors are being taken away, which may have led to continuous weight loss, so please visit the hospital and find out the exact cause. 😨

 

 

 

Breathing problems

​One of the typical symptoms when a dog is sick is breathing problems.

​If the dog's breathing sound is rougher and irregular than usual, there is a high possibility of pain.

​This symptom may be a respiratory problem, but it may be a digestive problem, so you should visit the hospital to check your condition. 😫

Dogs' breathing rates are normal 15 to 30 times per minute as a set of inhalation and exhalation, and the normal breathing rate during sleep is normal 13 to 15 times.

Your dog's breathing rate can be easily measured when he or she is resting comfortably.

 

 

 

A lot of fur is shed

 

​Dogs usually molt in spring and fall.

​It is normal to lose a lot of fur at this time, but if you suddenly lose a lot of fur even when it's not the time to molt, or if only the special area loses a lot of fur or itching, it can be skin disease, hormonal disease, or undernourishment. 😥

Since there are various causes of this fur loss and treatment methods are different depending on the cause, you should visit the hospital and find out the exact cause.

 

 

 

The act of dragging dog's hips to the floor.

 

​In Korea, the act of a dog dragging its butt on the floor is often called "hip ski."

The dog has anal sacs located below its anus, and these sacs contain anal gland fluid.

 This could be a behavior that occurs when the anal sacs become full of anal gland fluid, causing itching. 😣

Anal gland fluid is usually released during defecation, but if the anal sacs become overly full, they can become inflamed or even rupture. Therefore, it is important to express the anal sacs regularly as part of proper care.

So far, we've looked at the symptoms when dogs are sick.

Unlike vomiting and diarrhea there were a lot of small signals if they were small.

 

 

I hope you quickly recognize the signals your dog expresses through its behavior and respond promptly to maintain a healthy life with your pet. 😄

​I hope today's post helped you with your life with your dog and I'll visit you next time with a post that helps you stay with your pet.

I hope you have a good day today :)💙

 

 

 

Have a great day with the duz '◡'
