Recently, my puppy has had diarrhea for 50 days, and I feel deeply upset and uneasy. After consulting with the veterinarian and some experienced dog owners many times, I have summarized some useful methods and precautions and shared them with you.
1. Seek medical treatment in time. When the puppy has diarrhea for more than two days or develops symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, etc., you must go to the veterinary office for treatment in time. The veterinarian will check the puppy's feces, blood, urine and other results to determine the cause and formulate a treatment plan. If the condition is serious and requires hospitalization, you must follow the advice of the veterinarian.
2. Pay attention to diet. After puppies have diarrhea, their digestive system is affected and they need to pay special attention to their diet. Be sure to let the puppy drink more water to prevent dehydration. You can add a small amount of salt and glucose to the water to increase the absorption of water. The diet should be mainly digestible and nutritious foods, such as chicken breasts, rice porridge, boiled eggs, etc. Never feed your puppies too much to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach.
3. Regular defecation. During diarrhea, frequent defecation and irregular defecation time may occur. It is recommended to take the puppy out to defecate regularly. Choose a dry and clean place to avoid puppies from touching other dogs’ feces and prevent cross infection. Before going out and after going home, be sure to clean the puppy's paws and anus with water or special disinfectant.
4. Environmental cleaning. Diuresis in puppies can easily cause environmental pollution and cleaning work is needed. Clean the floor, nests, rice bowls, water basins and other items with bleach or other fungicides every day, and disinfect toilets and trash cans to prevent bacterial viruses from growing and spreading. In addition, you should avoid the puppy's toys, bedding, etc. being too loose or piled up, so that the puppy should not bite or eat things randomly.
5. Avoid tension and stress. When puppies have diarrhea, they may experience depression, fatigue, anxiety, etc., which are mostly due to the tension and stress of puppies. As owners, we should try our best to give the puppy a warm, comfortable environment and sufficient care to let the puppy feel our love and attention. During the treatment period, maybe we need to spend a lot of time and energy to take care of the puppies, but as long as we persevere, the puppies will definitely recover.
In short, diarrhea in puppies is a threat to the health of dogs, but we can prevent and treat them through various measures to allow puppies to grow up healthily and happily. I hope the above suggestions can help those in need and create a happy pet family.
