Many dog owners like to give dogs some human fever-reducing medicines first when Xiao Ha is sick. The result is often two or three days of delay, taking a lot of antibiotics and antipyretics, but the dog is getting worse and worse. In fact, except for special circumstances (such as: the pet hospital is off work, the condition is urgent), when the husky dog has a fever, the dog owner should go to the hospital as soon as possible, instead of giving the dog first Take a fever-reducing medicine indiscriminately.

1. The harm of abusing antipyretics

1. Abusing antipyretics will mask symptoms and aggravate the condition.

2. Blind use of antipyretics may disrupt the fever pattern of certain diseases, thereby affecting the accuracy of diagnosis.

3. The abuse of antipyretics is not helpful for the treatment of the disease. Such as fever caused by acute and chronic inflammation, the top priority is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and the inflammation will naturally subside, and antipyretics do not have the effect of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.

2. Different types of antipyretics have different effects

Fever in dogs can be caused by many reasons, so remember to prescribe the right medicine in the treatment. For example, fever caused by inflammation (pneumonia) should be mainly anti-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory antipyretics should be given to the dog; at this time, if the dog is prescribed a cooling antipyretic, it will naturally have no effect.

Therefore, you must be careful when choosing antipyretics. Veterinarians generally do not approve of pet owners using human antipyretics. (Aspirin is a good antipyretic for dogs, though. Dogs can take 18 mg per kilogram of body weight.)

Fever in dogs can be caused by minor issues such as wound infections, but , More often, a fever is a sign that the dog is seriously ill, so when you are not sure about the cause of the dog's fever, it is very important to ask a veterinarian to check the cause in time. Once the temperature is higher than 39.4 °C (measured in the anus) , you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, instead of blindly giving the dog medicine.
