Why don't dogs eat

Many people will encounter the same problems as Bian Xiao. It was normal for dogs to eat before, but suddenly one day they stopped eating! I don't want to take a look at it in my mouth, but my spirit is not bad. Is this the so-called picky eater? Today, Bian Xiao talks about the reasons why dogs don't eat and the solutions!

First of all, understand the reasons why dogs don't eat, so as to fight drugs.

1. It's very hot and I have no appetite.

Many owners will find that dogs eat little or nothing in summer, especially when the weather is particularly hot. Actually, this is normal. We don't have an appetite to eat in particularly hot weather, and dogs are just like us. Don't worry too much, just wait until the weather cools down!

This dog is in estrus.

Due to the increase of hormone secretion, the appetite of dogs will decrease and there will be signs of irritability. This kind of anorexia is relatively easy to solve. Only by paying attention to hygiene and giving enough water can you eat normally after estrus.

3. There are parasites on dogs.

Ascariasis is the most common parasite in dogs, and Fasciola hepatica is another kind. Both diseases will lead to another dog's anorexia at a certain stage, but Fasciola hepatica often leads to overeating and ascites soon. Ascariasis, in addition to anorexia, will also appear chronic wasting. Of course, there are other parasitic diseases, so I won't list them here.

This disease will lead to anorexia in dogs.

When the dog suffers from other diseases, such as canine fever, parvovirus disease, viral enteritis, cold, intestinal dysfunction (intussusception, joint, enteritis, peritonitis, etc. ), anorexia will attack again.

Second, if the phenomenon of not eating is solved.

1. Hunger Solutions

First of all, stop eating and see if the dog is really sick. The dog is hungry but not full. Hunger your dog first, and give enough water when you stop eating (a small amount of sugar can be added to the water). Generally, the appetite will be restored in the next two or three days. In order to ensure its strong appetite, you can stop eating one day a week. However, it should be noted that if the dog still has no appetite and has other adverse reactions such as diarrhea and runny nose, it should be taken seriously and taken to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Strengthen exercise

Strengthen physical exercise and increase the exercise of dogs. Generally, small pet dogs only need to prepare more toys at home, such as dog chewing gum, rope, etc., for them to play and exercise, and usually let them run and jump to meet their exercise. However, large dogs must exercise outdoors, especially hounds, whose ancestors lived by hunting and were used to strenuous exercise. Let him run at least 5- 10 km every day. Walking the dog is a good way. Running with the dog not only exercises the dog, but also exercises yourself. The dog's appetite is greatly increased and its weight is reduced, killing two birds with one stone!

Change the taste of food

The best prevention method is to avoid feeding dogs a single food for a long time, and often change the taste of dogs to prevent them from being anorexic because they eat one kind of food every day. Snacks should not be given to dogs too often, and can be used as a reward for training. I usually give it to dogs when I have nothing to do. After a long time, dogs only eat snacks and don't eat, forming a bad habit. In addition, when the dog is sick, try not to mix the medicine with food, but try to give it by intramuscular injection or intravenous drip, so as not to cause the dog to react to the medicine and become anorexia.
