How can a good dog get a nosebleed? Taipei Enya Animal Hospital received a case of a dachshund dog sneezing and nosebleed on the afternoon of the 11th, and then asked the owner if the dog had been let the dog recently. After drinking the stream water, the doctor made a decisive decision and asked the owner to take the dog outside for two laps. After the owner and the dog returned to the hospital panting, the veterinarian used a dropper to drip water into the dog's nose. At this time, a thin line suddenly appeared. A long, brown thing sticks out from the left side of the dog's nose, and this soft leech is the culprit of the dachshund's nosebleed.

If your dog has flu-like symptoms but doesn't get better after taking medicine and injections, it may be a leech invasion. Dr. Cai Yijin from Enya Animal Hospital said in an interview with a reporter from ETtoday Dongsen News Cloud. Dr. Cai said that this dachshund was not the first case of being invaded by leeches. The hospital had already established a set of SOPs, and there was even a jar for collecting leeches caught in the nasal cavity of various animals.

Leech likes low temperature and humid environment, wet dog nose is best for them. Dr. Cai said that after determining that the nosebleed is caused by leeches, the doctor usually asks the owner to take the dog for a run, so that the dog's internal temperature will rise. At this time, the ideal home of the leech will become as hot as an oven, and they will It will start to drill out.

After reaching the first stage, the next step is to drip water on the dog's nose, or put a basin of ice water in front of the dog's nose, and wait for the leech to feel that it is dark and cold outside, and can't resist the temptation , When the head sticks out a little, the doctor will quickly clamp with tweezers, so that the dog can successfully escape from the persecution of leeches, and the nosebleeds are also relieved.

Although many animal hospitals are accustomed to dealing with leech invasion, Dr. Cai reminded that when bringing fur babies to play in the countryside, try to avoid drinking stream water or mountain spring water, otherwise the dog's nose may be damaged. Moved in by a new tenant.”
