Then it could mean ur dog has a dental disease. Dental disease rearly ocur and when it does it happens mostly to dogs above 3 years. dental diseases, including include halitosis (bad breath) and gingivitis (gum disease) and they are caused by tartar accumulation. All dogs can develop dental tartar, but small breed dogs are particularly predisposed. Be sure to inspect ur dogs teeth and gums on a regular basis just as u do with his or her skin and haircoat. Here’s the key to getting a good look. don’t try to pry ur dogs jaws open lest u would engage in a wrestling match� Rather do it with the mouth remaining closed, simply pull those flabby lips up, down, and then back (as if he is smiling) to get a good view of the gums and teeth. Look for tartar accumulation (brown colored material that’s adhered to the teeth) redness or swelling of the gums, and broken or loose teeth. If ur dog does develop significant tartar and gingivitis, he’ll need a thorough dental cleaning. Should such significant abnormalities be found, ur vet will discuss antibiotic therapy and the pros and cons of removing the affected teeth versus a root canal procedure. The best way to prevent tartar buildup is to brush ur dogs teeth atleast twice a month. Ask ur vet or someone experienced to teach u that physically cos i cant explain that here or u watch on YouTube. What else to do aside from brushing? There are some dental chews, additives u can add to ur dogs water. They are meant for the health of teeth and gums. There are also some dry food specially formulated that can help prevent tartar buildup like Purina. However, nothing beats regular brushing. Part of ur dogs annual physical examination performed by ur vet should include careful inspection of the teeth and gums. Early identification and treatment of dental disease goes a long way in preventing serious consequences. Join our Telegram group to learn more https:///CanineEducation |

Sometimes infected dogs may not show any symptoms. symptoms in humans vary. They range from infertility or serious cardiac or neurological problems. Etc In dogs, the bacteria tend to attack the reproductive organs but can also migrate to the eyes, spinal column, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. The main mode of transmission of brucellosis is by direct contact with infected body fluids, such as semen, vaginal secretions, and urine. Brucellosis affects female and male dogs in specific ways: Females: Symptom in the female dog is infertility, with 75 percent of cases resulting in late-term abortion (45–55 days of gestation). And then inability to conceive. Males: In the early phase of infection, the testes will be enlarged and painful. As the infection progresses, the testes become firm and shrunken. Infected males will become sterile due to testicular damage causing anti-sperm antibody formation. Infected males may also develop prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland), with symptoms of difficulty urinating and defecating. Non-reproductive symptoms in both sexes can include lethargy, weight loss, and exercise intolerance.

Recognising early warning signs is important to the health of ur dog Dehydration This is a process where body fluids is excessively lost. Dehydration involves the loss of water and depletion of electrolytes, which include some essential minerals. It could be caused by illness or lack of availability of water. Signs of a dehydrated dog include sunken eyes, dry mouth, gums and nose. Poor skin elasticity is another dehydration symptom, which u can test by gently pulling up on the skin at the back of ur dog’s neck. If the skin doesn’t immediately spring back to its normal position, ur dog may be dehydrated. The longer it takes for the skin to return to its normal position, the more severe the dehydration. Another test u can perform at home is called capillary refill time. Press ur finger against ur dog's gums until they turn white, then remove it. If the gums don’t regain color immediately, ur dog could be dehydrated. Since untreated dehydration can lead to organ failure and death, seek immediate vet attention if dehydration is suspected. Depending on the severity, ur vet may suggest water with electrolyte products. In extreme cases, intravenous fluids will be administered to replenish ur dog's fluids. Overheating Heat-related dog conditions can also become life-threatening without immediate treatment. Overheated dogs can suffer heat exhaustion, heat stroke or sudden death from cardiac arrhythmias.

Keeping ur dogs Paws healthy dogs spend so much time running, jumping, fetching and generally mostly outside so u expect their paws to be dirty and needs care as well. The paw are made up of skin, bone, tendons, ligaments, blood supply, and tissue. If u av an a parlour dog and u never walk that dog on hot streets, they are going to av blister when u eventually start it so its important to introduce ur dogs to this. During the hot seasons exercise ur dogs to avoid pad blistering in the future. To avoid damages during cold weather u also av to take ur dogs out on walks. Paws allow dogs to move around comfortably on land and in the water. Water dogs, such as retrievers, have webbing between toes to help them swim better in the water. Snow breeds like the St. Bernard and the Newfoundland have large paws with greater surface that allow them to walk steadily and with ease on cold and icy terrain for those that live abroad, but i learnt there use to be snow in Jos is that true? If damage occurs to one paw, a dog can still get around, but it will limp. Damage more than one paw and the dog is severely handicapped. To keep those very important paws in top shape, u could check inspect ur dog's paws every time come back from a walk or exercise sessions. Make sure they've not picked up a stick, thorn, and also check in between the toes. However, if ur dog suddenly starts limping, u should examine ur dog’s paws immediately. Look between toes, on the top of the foot and between the pads on the bottom of the feet. us ur dog spend time licking his feet? If so, this could be a warning sign. U need to investigate the source of the irritant to determine if there is a particular reason or location of the dog’s attention to its feet. If ur dogs is susceptible to contact allergies to certain grasses, washing off the dog’s feet after being outside is a good idea. Biting and chewing or licking can be a sign of inhalant allergies and the dog needs to be checked by a vet Excessive licking can damage the tissues further and can also delay healing. So it's a good idea to always check the status of ur dog's paws if anything seems out of the ordinary. If you notice that ur dog has a minor cut on his paw, wash the foot with an antiseptic soap and apply a topical antibiotic cream. What may appear to be a small wound on the surface actually may be a tendon laceration. It's not unusual for dogs to have cracked or dry pads. If dogs spend a lot of time on rough surfaces such as concrete they will eventually have thickened pads. In this case the best thing to do is rub Vitamin E cream into the pad just like u would if you have sand paper hands � make sure to rub it well so the dog would not lick it off. When it comes to a dog's nails and how often they need to be trimmed, it depends on the dog's activities. In general, the nails need to be trimmed monthly so that the tip of the nail (length) is roughly aligned with the plane of the pad on the toe.
