For dogs, they rely more on their noses. They believe more in their noses than their eyes. The pet owner also understands that the tip of the dog is very wet under normal conditions. When the pet owner finds that the tip of the dog's nose is dry, he will wonder whether the dog is sick. The pet owner of the dog's nose should master some professional knowledge to make it clearer whether the dog is physically and mentally healthy.
Generally speaking, the dog's nose is all wet. The dog has strong taste working ability. Its nasal mucosa has many taste somatic cells, which can help it distinguish the taste. In the case of moistness, the taste is more sensitive. Generally, the liquid metabolized by the dog's nose itself remains moist. In some cases, the dog will also lick and suck its nose itself to maintain moistness. The dog's moist nose can also help them adjust the body temperature. Sometimes the dog's nose will get dryer, some are caused by normal conditions and some are caused by diseases.
When the dog falls asleep, his nose will dry. Because the dog's body is just starting to rest and when he is sleeping at a high quality, the dog does not need to smell the smell, and his nose will rest well. He no longer metabolizes liquid and keeps his nose moist. When the dog wakes up, he will repair it moist. After exercise, the dog's nose will stop metabolizing liquid. When the dog rests and calms down, his nose will repair it moist. There are also elderly people with brittle body functions. In this case, the dog's nose is dry, which is very normal. Pet owners do not need to worry too much.
When the dog gets sick, has a fever and a cold, the body's calorie cannot be released. In the very tight summer, the dog's nose will also become dry. Pet owners must check whether the dog has abnormal symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. When the dog is sick, his nose will become astringent, and there are also serious nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, dry teeth, weak and dislike popping. Skin diseases can also cause the dog's nose to be dry, which will cause cracks and scars; dogs' skin allergies will also cause astringent nose.
In most cases, dogs have astringent noses because they have very little water in order to prevent this situation. Usually, it is necessary to ensure that the dog consumes sufficient water and urge the dog to drink more water. If the dog's body temperature is too high, the nose will stop metabolic fluids. Pets mainly hold the dog in an area that prevents direct sunlight and reduce the heat to the dog as soon as possible.
There are many symptoms of astringent nose for dogs. The main difference is to understand what causes it. There is no need to blindly follow the trend and panic; if the dog has a dry nose and a bad appetite and mental outlook, the main focus is to take the dog to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
