Asthma is an allergic disease of the respiratory system. It is usually acute onset, and there is no obvious long-term warning before the onset. Clinically, it can be divided into exogenous; endogenous; mixed type; drug-induced and exercise-induced. Here, I am sorry, I did not find any articles explaining this in detail on the Internet. Asthma is mostly caused by tracheal stenosis and bronchospasm. Asthma in dogs is hereditary (not necessarily from parents, but also from dog breeds), that is, congenital insufficiency of short airways, hereditary asthma is a recessive disease, and no The onset of symptoms occurs in a short period of time, but occurs suddenly when the body's function declines (such as colds, coughs, etc.) or when there is a sudden allergy or trigger. In addition, there is pure allergic-induced asthma. In clinical practice, the asthma control rate of this disease is higher. Usually, it can be effectively controlled by keeping away from the allergen or inducing source and taking timely treatment of the disease.
Dog asthma symptoms:
The milder cases are dry cough, gasping for breath, and occasional retching symptoms. In severe cases, shortness of breath, elevated body temperature, body heat accompanied by red skin, purple tongue, hot and dry nose, rapid heartbeat, dog will continue to lick the nose and mouth and may eat indiscriminately, appear to lick the ground, If there are abnormal phenomena such as running around and even vomiting, once you find that your tongue is purple and your body temperature continues to rise, you should immediately go to the doctor for treatment.
When asthma develops, it will have its own defense. The mild ones can control the symptoms on their own to reduce or eliminate the symptoms, but the severe ones may not be able to control themselves in a short time. At this time, the dog will eat randomly. This phenomenon is because it thinks that there is a foreign body in its trachea, and it wants to swallow or vomit the foreign body, which is a concomitant symptom, (in fact, the foreign body he thinks may not be a real foreign body, and a dog breeder is needed here. The judgment is accurate.) After the onset of the disease, the dog will be exhausted. For example, the dog with poor immunity may appear lethargic and lethargic. At this time, it should be sent to the doctor immediately. Don't think it's okay to stop caring. After the dog's asthma has really passed, everything in the dog will return to normal. If you go to the doctor at this time, you can't judge the dog's disease without careful blood tests and other tests, so if you must seek medical treatment, you should hurry up.
Treatment of dog asthma:
The main treatment of this disease is expectorant and relieving cough, supplemented by antibiotic treatment to control secondary infection. Usually strengthen the nursing, keep the sick dog quiet, avoid the stimulation of irritating gas and smoke.
Notes:
The cure rate of asthma is not high, and it can only be effectively controlled. Half-window, keep the air circulation, and there should be no irritating smell in the home, such as perfume, cigarette, etc. In addition, you should choose the disinfectant and insecticide carefully, you should choose the special type for pets Light taste. For the dog's food, you should choose slightly soft food. You should not give hard stick-shaped chewing gum, and you should not give hard food such as bones. Don't let the dog be in a state of excitement or running and jumping for a long time. Try to keep it in the Calm down and walk slowly.
