Extremely bad weather

? Canine bronchitis is a common respiratory disease in dogs. Bronchial disease is an acute and chronic respiratory inflammatory disease. This kind of inflammation can lead to repeated wheezing, shortness of breath, cough and other symptoms in dogs, usually at night or in the morning. Moreover, the symptoms of this disease appear from time to time, sometimes lasting only a few minutes, and sometimes lasting for several days. If the illness is serious, it may be life-threatening. For dogs, the sudden onset of bronchial diseases and long treatment time will also make dogs feel physically and mentally exhausted.

? Canine bronchitis is mainly divided into three categories: acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis and bronchiolitis. There is generally no history of bronchitis before the onset of acute bronchitis, that is, there is no history of chronic cough, expectoration and wheezing, and the onset is rapid, with dry cough first, followed by sticky or purulent sputum. Dogs will be accompanied by sternal tightness or pain during the onset. The symptoms of fever usually get better in three to five days, but the cough lasts for a long time. Chronic bronchitis is generally not easy to detect because there are no other obvious symptoms except a slight cough. However, there are usually acute respiratory infections before the onset, such as acute pharyngitis, cold and acute bronchitis. At the beginning of the disease, it usually occurs in the cold season, and the symptoms will recur. The main clinical manifestations are cough, expectoration, asthma and recurrent respiratory infections. Sputum is generally white mucus foam. In severe cases, the sputum is sticky, the amount of sputum will increase, or it will be yellow pus. Two to three days after upper respiratory tract infection, persistent dry cough and paroxysmal wheezing usually occur, and low-grade fever may also occur, which generally leads to bronchiolitis. Severe dogs may have symptoms such as heart failure and dehydration.

? To control bronchial diseases in dogs, we must first control infection and choose antibiotics according to the main pathogenic bacteria and the severity of infection. Light cases can be taken orally, and serious cases can be given antibiotics by subcutaneous or intravenous drip. Then use drugs to control, mainly penicillin G, cephalosporin and other antibiotics. For anorexic and dehydrated dogs, intravenous infusion is needed to replenish water and nutrition in time.

? The prevention of canine bronchial diseases is a very important work, and the owner must pay attention to it. Usually, owners should avoid dogs catching a cold, which can effectively prevent the onset of chronic bronchitis. When the dog takes a bath, it should be dried in time, otherwise it will catch cold easily. When a dog has a fever and cough, it is necessary to reduce the dog's exercise, otherwise it may aggravate the dog's condition, so it is necessary to reduce the stimulation caused by exercise. If the care is not good, chronic bronchitis is likely to develop into emphysema or heart disease, and these diseases are even more fatal to dogs, so the owner must pay attention to them.

? When the weather is cold, dogs are more likely to catch cold, which increases the risk of respiratory diseases. Therefore, the owner should take warm measures for the dog in time, try not to walk the dog in the morning, and pay special attention to the dog's diet. Don't give the dog cold food.
