Dogs have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, and basically every cat slave has encountered such a situation.
Generally, it doesn't matter if it is not a subtle infection. But in fact, there is a fatal common disease in small pets that is also worthy of everyone's concern - pancreatitis.
Let me take you to learn more today!
What is pancreatitis?
In layman's terms, the function of the pancreas is to assist dogs in digesting and absorbing food. The key effect is the "pancreatic enzyme" they metabolize.
Under all normal conditions, pancreatic enzymes are dysregulated in the pancreas and are excreted into the digestive system and are "stimulated" and then digested and absorbed food.
But for some reasons, such as foods that dogs should not eat after eating, foods that are difficult to digest and absorb, such as rice and fat, or dirt such as thin wire ropes, pure cotton towels, wood, etc., that cannot be digested and absorbed at all, the pancreas will metabolize a lot of pancreatic juice. Too much pancreatic juice cannot digest and absorb dirt, but it will mix into the blood at night to "digest and absorb" other human organs of the dog.
In short, "the pancreas eats itself", and the result is pancreatic inflammation and atrophy.
What causes pancreatitis?
There are many kinds of varieties, and they can be roughly divided into the following four types:
1. Don’t like exercise: I eat more greasy food and don’t like exercise, which is more common in obese dogs.
2. Drug elements: corticosteroids, chemotherapeutic drugs, organic chemical polyphosphate, furure, etc.
3. Partial ischemic: hypofluidic flow (subacute internal bleeding), diffuse capillary coagulation function.
4. Symptom elements: caused by abdominal trauma and infectious diseases.
All kinds of dogs are likely to have pancreatitis, but the following types of dogs are classified as high-risk.
German Shepherd, Schnauzer, Hard-Haired German Shepherd, Yorkshire, Styrofoam, Dachshund, Mini Poodles and their cocker spaniels have a higher chance of risk in the pancreas, and you must be more concerned about it in normal times.
What are the symptoms of dogs with pancreatitis? The symptoms of
pancreatitis are unstable and have no significant characteristics. However, most cases of medical records are mainly manifested as: stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, unknown diarrhea and even bleeding in the stool.
If your dog has immunity on time and eliminates common infectious diseases, this disease needs to be taken care of!
Naughtiness, vomiting, and diarrhea are very easy to see. How can you tell whether the dog has stomachache?
1. Dogs often have prayer-like postures with their original name volley and their hips raised. They are unwilling to be touched and are not allowed to be hugged by their owners. Then cat slaves need to pay attention to whether it is a sign of pancreatitis.
2. Dogs like to lie on the cold wooden floor, but they are uneasy and often move around to relieve the pain.
3. Squat down or bow your muscles and maintain a posture stiffly (except for all normal stool).
4. When touching the dog's abdomen, I feel that the muscles in my body are tight, and in severe cases, I will even scream in pain.
How to treat and prevent it?
When the owner finds that the dog has pancreatitis, he will be taken to the hospital for routine blood tests, biochemical tests, liver ascites analysis and sound wave frequency testing, and diagnose and treat early.
In order to better avoid irritating the gastrointestinal tract of dogs, first avoid eating and drinking to reduce the irritation of pancreatic metabolism. If the dog is painful, it can use pain to stabilize the pain.
Then use antibiotics to manipulate the infection, such as Baiyouli, Skekesheng, ampicillin, etc. Use saline to perform infusion, fill kinetic electrolyte solution, adjust acid and base, and maintain blood circulation in the pancreas.
If the dog has severe nausea and vomiting, atropine sulfate, cimetidine, etc. can be used to prevent vomiting.
For pancreatitis, there is a saying that you should indeed remember, pancreatitis is eaten, so it is prevented from being far beyond treatment.
Dogs usually eat and drink, eat irregularly, feel too greasy, and have too cold food, are all key causes of pancreatitis; and sudden changes in food, bile duct diseases, drug causes and metabolic disorders are also likely to cause pancreatitis.
In addition, the prevalence of young dogs, middle-aged and elderly dogs, obese dogs and some species of dogs is also relatively high.
So, the practical significance of prevention of pancreatitis is far higher than that of treatment! What everyone must do is to combine food regularly and effectively, and avoid consuming too much body fat. Pay attention to the dog's abnormal personal behavior and conduct regular physical examinations.
