For a puppy that has just been brought home, the preparation of nutritional products and toys is secondary, mainly to adapt to the environment. At this time, its individual antibody function is extremely low, and the disease body and new environment disease body are most susceptible to infection Dogs. Everyone remember not to spoil him with arbitrary diet, do not arbitrarily clean for the sake of beauty, don’t play as much as he likes, and don’t take any medicine for his health. At the same time, everyone must understand that health is guaranteed by careful and regular care, not by drugs and treatments. When you are sick, medicine and treatment are indispensable, but for puppies who do not have the ability to adapt to the new environment, medicine and treatment are not only not necessarily good, but may be a fatal blow.

First, dietary requirements

For very small dogs, such as dolls and Bomei, it is not troublesome to feed in this way, just don’t feed too much.

Second, ambient temperature requirements

The living environment of the first-time purchased dog has a decisive effect on its survival, the temperature is too high and too low, or If the temperature difference is too large, it will cause physical discomfort, most likely to cause colds, diarrhea, reduce body resistance, and induce other diseases.

The main thing to control the temperature is to adjust the living environment, keep warm in winter and keep the temperature; in summer, pay attention to ventilation and keep cool.

1. When purchasing a puppy for the first time, try not to take the dog out too much. One is susceptible to stray bacteria infection, and the other is susceptible to disease caused by temperature. If the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, don't take it out;

2. No matter what the indoor temperature is, you must ensure that it has a warm nest, so that it has a place to return when it feels cold and cool. In winter, the method can use flocking and padding in the nest. In addition, if the temperature is not enough in the north, it can be placed near the heater, and in the south, air conditioners, hot water bottles, electric heaters, etc. can be used; in spring and autumn, when purchasing dogs during the changing seasons, the most attention should be paid to the adaptation of the dog's temperature. , It is necessary to gradually change the environment in the nest, and the temperature difference should not change too much; in summer, pay attention to ventilation, so as not to let it heat and lack of water.

Third, daily care

Don't take a bath with water when you first arrive. Dry cleaning with dry cleaning powder can be used every five days, and a brush can be used for a while when washing. Do not overplay and overwork it.

The most important thing is medical care.

Personal principle: Unless the conditions are very good in the hospital, unless the dog has been quarantined first and has a guarantee, otherwise, during these 20 days, as long as it is not a surgical disease, he will not go to the hospital unless he can go to the hospital. Go to the hospital and don't stay in the hospital. Because most of the dogs have not undergone the initial inspection at this time, the body lacks resistance, and they are easily infected with hospital germs. At the same time, most hospitals have poor conditions, which is easy to pose a threat to the newly purchased dogs. At the same time, most doctors treat the newly purchased dogs. According to normal dog treatment, most of them have only one dead end.

Most of the diseases of the newly purchased dogs are cold, diarrhea, and vomiting, which are also the most headaches for pet owners. Usually, as long as it is not due to infectious diseases brought by the time of purchase, such as: dog distemper, small Viruses, etc., are mostly caused by improper care. In addition to eating and maintaining the environment according to the above requirements, the following methods can be used to solve the problem of sick dogs.

A: Diarrhea and vomiting caused by improper feeding type and food intake. You only need to fast for 8-12 hours (after four hours of fasting, you can feed a small amount of high-concentration glucose water several times (one-hour intervals)), and then feed the food in as few as many times (two-hour intervals), until the normal amount. At the same time, it is possible to feed oxytetracycline, Fucoan (choose one) and other medicines without side effects or pediatric medicines three times a day, and the dosage should be appropriate.

B: Cold, fever. In the early stage, it is best to use an appropriate amount of anti-inflammatory injections (such as vanguardomycin, penicillin, etc.) in time, and do not feed them indiscriminately.

C: If you are dehydrated for a long time, or do not eat, you can infuse fluids or feed glucose water. Don't take the infusion for too long, and don't add too much medicine. Feed yourself with glucose water in small amounts and multiple times.

D: It is not advisable to take continuous and long-term medication in the first-time purchase of the puppy's disease. Improper medication and overdose are more fatal. It should be relieved during the treatment. At this time, it is the key to its life to strengthen its own care, so that it can strengthen its physique and improve its resistance. Among them, the rational use of glucose and vitamin C tablets to feed dogs can ensure that their physical fitness is enhanced and is conducive to disease resistance.

E: For those who have been confirmed or suspected to be canine distemper and parvovirus, and are already very ill, don't forget to insist on feeding a small amount of glucose and vitamin C tablets several times, let them vomit, and don't give up. At the same time (dog distemper), it is also beneficial to let it rest on the grass that is not cool and not hot and slightly damp every day. Sick dogs should not be placed in a dull environment.

Note: For puppies who have just entered the house within 20 days, glucose, vitamin C, oxytetracycline, anti-inflammatory needles, and appropriate, reasonable and flexible use will give you Great benefit.

Special reminder:

1. Do not take a bath for sick dogs.

2. Do not inject serum randomly after buying a dog. When sick like that, neither the doctor nor himself can understand the condition. Dogs who have not been injected with serum should appear sick within a week, and those who have been injected with serum should appear about 12 days after the injection.

3. Most of those who get sick within a week (within 12 days of serotoning) are dogs with infectious diseases, and the responsibility lies with the seller.

The 20 days after coming home is what people often say is the dangerous period of raising a dog. A dog who can live for two weeks and strengthens for a week has basically adapted to the environment and has a great individual physique. Boost, and you can safely vaccinate.
