I wonder if you have ever encountered a sudden change in weather when walking your dog outside? The dog is very likely to be caught in the rain, and then catch a cold, and then the dog's body will become uncomfortable, resulting in poor energy and appetite. So what should you do if you find that your dog does not eat or drink after being exposed to the rain? Owners can take these methods!
1. Do a good job of keeping warm as soon as possible
After bringing a dog that has been exposed to rain home, pet owners can first wipe off the rain on it with a hot towel, and promptly use cotton swabs, wet wipes, etc. to wipe away the rain and dirt in its ears. Then blow dry its hair as soon as possible, control the indoor temperature, and do not turn on the air conditioner too low. Then you can prepare a warm and comfortable kennel for the dog to have a good rest, and be sure to close some doors and windows to prevent cold wind from invading and irritating the dog's body.
2. Take some pet cold supplies
After a dog catches a cold in the rain, it will develop symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and cough. The body will be relatively weak and its appetite will decrease. Pet owners can give it some pet cold nutritional supplements to help it increase its body's energy and better resist the disease.
During the illness period, you should pay attention to letting the dog drink more warm water, and add some quick fun to its drinking water to help it replenish the nutrients it needs during the cold. Combined with taking some meow amo, it can help it reduce sneezing, runny nose, cough and other symptoms, and promote its body recovery.
3. Supplement nutrition and care for the stomach
Dogs caught in the rain and suffering from a cold will have little appetite for food. Pet owners should pay attention to making some adjustments to their diet, feeding less dry dog food, and choosing some that are good in palatability and light. Nutritious porridge or soup, such as lean meat porridge, fish soup, canned food, etc., if the dog eats very little or even nothing, the pet owner can appropriately feed it some Wangxiang Xiaoshi tablets to help it replenish intestinal beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes, speed up intestinal digestion and peristalsis, and promote its return to normal appetite.
Pay more attention to measuring the temperature of dogs during the illness. Dogs with fever will be in low spirits, lethargic, and have no desire to eat. Pet owners need to take them to the pet hospital as soon as possible for anti-fever injections to cool down. Do not feed children anti-pyretics at will to avoid improper dosage to aggravate the condition.
