Of course it is very unpleasant to see your best friend not feeling well. Its owner depends on you when he is sick. Your first step is to make sure that your dog is sick and the second is how bad it is. Some illnesses can be treated on their own under examination near you, others need immediate veterinary assistance. However, if you have any doubts, ask your veterinarian for advice. Sometimes, it’s serious about protecting your dog.
Part 1: Identifying the symptoms of the disease:
Monitor your dog's daily activities: When the dog urinates, when symptoms of illness appear, when he eats and drinks, record. This can help you identify the symptoms of the disease. This log can be a useful tool for veterinarians to test your dog for illness.
If your dog's pain is not too severe (not eating well one day, restlessness, vomiting once or twice, onset of diarrheal) you can examine the dog at home and contact your veterinarian for advice.
If you notice any symptoms, seek the help of a veterinarian immediately. There are several serious symptoms that require immediate medical attention. Never wait for these symptoms to appear, and call your vet now:
Fainting
Bleeding
Cage of hazardous substances
Persistent vomiting and diarrheal
Cracks
Shortness of breath
Convulsions that stop within a minute
Unable to urinate, or not producing urine
New or recent symptoms in dogs with treatment conditions (diabetes, Addison's disease, etc.)
Large swelling around the face, eyes or throat
Seek veterinary advice for less severe symptoms. Some signs of illness may be uncomfortable for your dog and may indicate a health problem that needs to be addressed.
Contact your vet for advice on treating the following symptoms:
Convulsions lasting less than a minute
Nausea and diarrheal that do not occur frequently and last for more than one day
Fever
Feelings of weakness that last for more than a day
Not being eaten for more than a day
Difficulty passing water
Acting in lust or pain
Drink extra
Swelling that appears gradually
Stories that suddenly appear or are present but getting bigger
Other strange signs or symptoms (shivering or shaking)
Part 2: Managing Illness at Home:
Do not feed your dog if he has nausea or diarrhea: For puppies and dogs older than 6 months previously healthy, you may delay feeding for 24 hours if the main symptoms are vomiting and diarrheal. These include snacks and raw-skinned (hard-skinned dog treats).
Make sure to provide drinking water to your dog: Never stop watering a sick dog unless he vomits again. If this happens, contact your vet for advice.
Give simple meals for 1 to 2 days. After delaying feeding for 24 hours and allowing your dog to behave more naturally, you can gradually introduce a softer diet for 1 to 2 days. A typical diet for dogs includes one portion of digestible protein and 2 portions of digestible cereal.
Common sources of protein include soft cheese or chicken (skin and fat-free) or cooked hamburgers.
Good cereals are white rice that has been cooked without extra flavour (tasteless).
Feed the dog one cup daily (divide the body weight into 4 servings per 6 hour period)
Limit your dog’s practice and play time. Make sure your dog is getting enough sleep by limiting time to practice and play. Take him on a leech to relieve yourself, but don’t let him play when he’s sick. This is especially important if he is lustful.
Check your dog's faces and urine: See how long your dog licks when he is sick. If he usually leaves the house alone, use a shoe when he is sick so you can see how long he has been going to the bathroom.
If your dog is indoors, do not punish him for defecating, urinating, or vomiting. He can’t help it when he’s sick and hide if you punish him.
Part 3: Creating a comfortable place for dogs:
Keep your dog at home: Do not leave the dog outside or in the garage. She may have a very difficult time controlling her body temperature and you may not be able to observe changes in her symptoms.
Make a comfortable bed: Provide a dog bed with a blanket in a place where you can easily and frequently monitor him. Choose a blanket that smells like you, so the dog will feel comfortable.
Choose a place with a floor that is as easy to clean as a bathroom or kitchen. That way, if your dog vomits or snorts, you can clean it up easily and quickly.
Advice:
Always talk to your dog in a soft, sweet voice.
