Vulnerability I: Heart disease

In general, obese dogs eight brothers, corgis, especially older dogs, breathe and lose heat easily because of the heat. If breathing is often fast, this is not a good thing. Increase the load on the respiratory system and make the heart beat too fast, which can easily lead to sudden death! Also, some dogs are prone to heart disease and may be induced by the climate. For old and weak dogs, you should reduce the time to go out for walks, rest slowly and go home to blow cold air better~!

Prevention and treatment:

1. Regular medical checkups. Medical checkups will help your doctor detect the disease in advance to nip it in the bud and reduce unnecessary trouble in the future!

2. Strictly control your diet. Eat less food that contains a lot of fat and stimulating foods. And nutritional variety, do not eat alone .

3. Parasites. Parasites are also a major factor in heart disease such as heartworm. Regular deworming is also an important part of protecting your dog’s health.

Vulnerability II: Colds

In the summer, there are many refrigerators outside the oven house. If there is too much air conditioning, people can catch a cold. Of course, so do dogs. Sneezing and runny noses are a dog condition, so they can’t be too greedy and cold. When they go out for a walk, they can blow cold air. When helping the dog to cool down, be careful not to let the dog blow in the cold air. In this case, people can easily catch a cold. The same is true for dogs. Ice water and a wet towel are also good for cooling dogs, and if your dog loves popsicles you can give him a popsicle to eat.

Prevention and treatment:

1. Cold remedy: No specific dosage was found, so I can only give the netizen experience value. If your dog is very large, more than 80 gold, you can based on the dose of adults. If your dog is small, Chihuahua and other small scoops are almost the same. Either way, a mild medication like a cold remedy is not a big deal at all.

2. Antiviral oral solution: For my dog’s reference, one at a time, twice a day.

III. Amoxicillin: ten ~ 20 mg/kg body weight per day ~ three times for five days.

Predisposition to disease III: Skin disease

Vulnerability 3: Skin diseases

Summer is an active season for insects. Dogs that go outside a lot can easily bring home insects such as ants and fleas. And dogs that have had their hair cut make it easier for insects to get under the fur and bite the dog’s skin. Not only are shaved dogs susceptible to mosquito bites, they are also susceptible to skin diseases from exposure to the sun.

I’m afraid dogs can’t go to grass where there are lots of bugs, so the best thing to do is passive defense: help your dog clean up foreign objects before you go in the door; wash your dog’s feet or bath right when you get home, and use an anti-insect soap that works well to repel bugs and kill eggs.

Prevention and treatment

The warm, humid summer climate provides opportunities for fleas, ticks, and other insects to multiply. These parasites can also infect your pets with skin allergies and make their lives miserable. The itching caused by these parasites usually occurs on your pet’s back and tail, and cats and dogs will scratch, rub, tongue or bite the itchy areas like crazy, causing symptoms such as hair loss, thickened skin and scaly patches. While anti-allergy shots can relieve your pet’s discomfort, the most fundamental approach is to eliminate these parasites, not only from your pet, but also from the areas where your pet moves and rests completely.
Predisposition 4: Heatstroke

Vulnerability 4: Heatstroke

Dogs have different skin than we do. When people get hot, they sweat from sweat glands all over their bodies to help dissipate heat. However, dogs do not have well-developed skin sweat glands. They only have sweat glands in a relatively small number of areas, such as paw pads, so they can produce very few sweat glands to adequately regulate body temperature. Although dogs open their mouths, breathe and salivate to take away more calories during the hot season, after all, they can’t sweat properly and don’t stop moving in hot weather, let alone take care of their body hydration, so dogs are many times more likely to get heatstroke than we humans!

A dog’s body temperature should be 37.8 to 39°C. If the body temperature rises to 40.65°C when the body temperature reaches 41, the dog’s internal organs begin to be damaged °C time is very dangerous for dogs in hot environments or hot climates, and a minimum of 20 minutes can lead to the failure of the dog’s body systems and death. So heat stroke is the biggest threat to a dog’s health in summer or other hot weather conditions !

Prevention and treatment:

Remind dog parents to take their dogs out for walks, try to avoid around noon, try to choose a cooler time in the morning and evening to avoid too much sunlight, and it is best to bring water for the dog, cold water is the dog’s favorite drink can help the dog cool down quickly. If a dog gets heatstroke on a walk, immediately wet the dog with water, preferably wrapped in a wet towel, and then take it to the vet, so it’s important to take water out~! :
