As a poop shoveler, the health of the dog may be the greatest relief for the poop shoveler, and it is also a manifestation of whether the poop shoveler is qualified. Dogs can't speak, and they can't express themselves in words. However, the dog shoveler can judge its health information from the dog's physical reaction, especially diseases related to the oral and digestive system, as well as some diseases that can disrupt the nervous system and may cause drooling. The following content is for your reference.
First of all, let me explain that the situations I mentioned below are all against abnormal situations. If the dog has always been like this, there is nothing other abnormal. Don’t be nervous...
1. The dog drools wildly
The dog suddenly drools wildly, and it is very likely that it is injured in his mouth or something stuck. If it is stuck on the teeth, the dog will scratch the mouth with its front paws or rub the mouth hard with its paws; if it is stuck in the esophagus, it will always raise its neck and cause the dog to swallow dysphagia. Injuries in the mouth such as piercing food, oral ulcers, periodontal inflammation can also cause dogs to drool. It is worth mentioning that rabies is a fatal disease. This fatal disease can also cause dogs to drool. However, rabies is also accompanied by neuroticism, restlessness, barking, biting things, etc., which is quite different from the oral diseases mentioned above and foreign objects ingested.
2.Difficult to swallow when dogs
Dogs have something stuck in their throats or have oral diseases, and they also have the above-mentioned drooling. However, the book says that some dogs with tumors will also experience dysphagia, so I have no experience with this.
3. It is normal for dogs to drink water after exercise. However, if the dog suddenly drinks water every day, it may be the following problems: fever, kidney problems, diabetes or uterine pus. We can easily verify the fever by taking the body temperature. If there is kidney problem, pet dogs will also experience urine pain and hematuria while drinking more and urinating. Diabetes can cause weight loss while drinking more, urinating more and eating more. I don’t know much about pus in the uterus, but it is definitely not a good phenomenon for dogs to drink water suddenly. We must pay attention.
4. Bad breath in dogs
The first thing that comes to mind about dogs is periodontitis, tartar and tartar. However, the book says that kidney disease and liver disease may also cause abnormal odor in dogs. In fact, it is normal for a dog to have a little smell in his mouth, because no matter how much we brush the dog's teeth, it seems that there will be some tartar and tartar. After all, we cannot brush its teeth every day. However, if we smell a different odor in the dog's mouth than usual, we should pay attention. At the same time, we will observe the dog's diet to see if there are any signs of other problems.
