The weather is hot now, and many dogs like to lie on the floor and sleep on the floor because of the cold weather. Because dogs have less hair on their belly and do not have enough ability to keep cold, they will naturally catch a cold easily. After the dog catches a cold, the owner needs to take the following measures in time to make the dog's cold heal faster.
1. Take good measures to keep warm.
No matter any season, the owner cannot let the dog sleep directly on the floor. He can prepare a sleeping blanket for the dog and lay it on the floor for the dog to rest. When the weather is hot, don’t blow air conditioning and fans on your dog. When the weather gets cold, prepare a warm doghouse in time. It should also be noted that during the cold, you must not bathe or vaccinate the dog, as this can easily aggravate the dog's condition and delay recovery.
2. Check the body temperature.
The dog's body temperature will change after a cold. The owner needs to check the dog's body temperature regularly every day to see if there is any fever. When the body temperature exceeds 39.5℃, he or she must immediately send the doctor to a fever-reducing injection. If the owner does not know whether the dog has a fever, it is recommended to buy a pet thermometer for measurement. This way the data is more accurate. Be careful not to hurt the dog during measurement.
3. Strengthen nutritional replenishment.
The dog is weak after getting sick and does not like to eat. It loses nutrition quickly. It needs the owner to help the dog strengthen nutritional supplies and physical fitness. It is recommended that the owner feed the dog a quick-temperature feeling to maintain normal physiological functions during the cold, and take Miaowang Amo if necessary. The daily diet should be changed to liquid food, which is easier to digest and absorb. You can make some millet porridge, minced meat porridge, fish soup, etc. You should also pay attention to appropriate feeding of vegetables and fruits and supplementing with multiple vitamins, which is conducive to recovery.
4. Beware of canine distemper and smallness.
In addition to taking the above measures, the owner should also pay attention to whether the dog has recurring fever, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness and food refusal. If so, beware of canine distemper and smallness. After all, this type of infectious disease also has clinical symptoms similar to a cold, so it is necessary to pay attention to distinguish them clearly. Once the dog is found to have the above conditions, it must be sent to the hospital for examination immediately. The early diagnosis and treatment will lead to a higher chance of recovery.
