Many friends will smell that the mouth of a cat or dog often has bad breath, and some even have bad saliva. Is this a disease? What should pet owners do?

There are many causes of halitosis in cats and dogs, and a few are even more serious internal organ diseases, such as indigestion or liver and kidney. If it is caused by internal reasons, it will often be accompanied by weight loss, increased or decreased drinking water and urination, occasional vomiting, decreased appetite and even abdominal distension. These may be caused by liver or kidney diseases, which can only be confirmed after examination.

However, in most cases, halitosis is caused by simple oral causes, which can be divided into disease and non disease causes. The main causes of the disease are stomatitis, glossitis, feline calicivirus, gingivitis, dental calculi, sharp bone and fish bone punctures. A large amount of saliva often flows from the corners of the mouth. Red packets, swelling, or even ulcers appear on the inner side of the mouth, tongue or gum surface. Eating is very slow and laborious, and even hard food is not eaten every time. Such diseases are easy to find. As long as you open your lips, you can see them clearly.

Non disease causes are mainly caused by unscientific and irregular diet, which is often caused by eating too much soft food and fresh food, such as fresh meat, canned food, human food, etc. Soft food can easily be stuffed in the teeth, while fresh food is easy to decay in the teeth and produce a lot of bacteria. Eating dog food will be much better. In fact, the solution is very simple. When you are healthy, you should brush your teeth at least three times a week, and when you are sick, you should brush your teeth once a day. Of course, tooth washing in professional hospitals is a better way to face stones. However, you need to understand that as you grow older, the risk of anesthesia is also greater. Often, serious tooth diseases occur in the middle-aged and elderly, and it is difficult to wash your teeth with anesthesia at this time. Routine maintenance is very important!

Many friends have raised their puppies since the Spring Festival. The first thing they do when they take them home is always very happy. They hope to take their new children for a walk on the green grass to attract the envious eyes of the surrounding people. At the same time, the dog children will also be very happy. But is that really good?

First of all, scientifically speaking, this must be a good thing. The best time for puppies to socialize is from February to March. Many grumpy dogs in adulthood are not socialized at this time. Starting from 4-5 months into the training age, the character has taken shape, and it will be much more complicated to change.

However, this scientific matter is not suitable for China. The domestic dog breeding and overall breeding environment are very irregular. The external environment is easy to infect diseases, especially “parvovirus, coronal virus, canine distemper, feline distemper, kennel cough” and other viruses. Often one animal in the community or kennel or feline kennel is infected, and the rest of the animals will be very dangerous. Puppies born shortly after birth are weak and easily infected when they go out. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to take dogs and cats that have not been fully vaccinated out. Walking on the grass, bathing in beauty shops and injections in hospitals are all places that need to be paid attention to. After the dog vaccine is fully administered, it is recommended to take the dog out for a walk every day, make more contact with strange dogs and strangers, get familiar with external stimuli, learn how to play and get along, reduce the fear caused by external stimuli, and contribute to its healthy growth.

It is better to take the dog out once in the morning and once in the evening (morning, noon and evening are better if there is enough time). The time of going out each time will vary greatly according to the dog’s breed and age. It is not recommended that the time of a dog or a short nosed dog who is not good at activities should not exceed 20 minutes each time. It is better to control the activity time of a large dog in the morning and evening after adulthood at about 1 hour. Do not run for a long distance without rest, which will cause great damage to the bone.
