How can you tell if your dog is feeling unwell?
Dogs can get sick at least as often as people, so it is necessary to learn to notice the poor health of the dog. The signs of ill health in a pet such as a dog are in contrast to its usual daily behavior.
A cheerful pet with a lively character can become lethargic and apathetic, refuse to eat or eat poorly, lie with a sad face and react poorly (or not at all) to the owner's calls for entertainment, a walk.
With certain internal diseases, the dog may take an unusual forced posture or does not want to lie down at all (he lies down only from fatigue).
It happens that the dog's digestive process is disturbed, which provokes vomiting, diarrhea or constipation (during a walk it cannot empty the intestines). Both poor appetite and excessive appetite can also be a signal of illness.
A dog's nose is an indicator of health, it is normally wet and cool, and if you feel unwell, it is dry and warm.
Tucked paws, whining, prolonged drowsiness indicate a malfunction in the dog's health.
In addition to the fact that you need to pay attention to the nature of the dog's behavior, it is necessary to regularly examine its body so as not to miss a rash, wounds, redness, swelling, and swelling. Dog hair can also tell a lot about a pet's health. A dull, wrinkled, not puffy coat is a sign of a health disorder.
Since a dog naturally has a more frequent breathing rhythm, in order to understand whether the dog is sick or not by the breathing rhythm, it is necessary to assess the depth of this breathing. Deep, slow and heavy breathing will indicate that something is wrong with the dog's health.
Having noticed at least one of the above signs of poor dog health, you need to seek help from a veterinarian, because in addition to visible signs of illness and unusual pet behavior, you will not be able to determine what exactly hurts him.
