Paula de Velado explains the signs that show when your dog is sick, from behavior changes to eating and drinking habits. Watch for physical symptoms too, and call a vet if something seems off.
Hi, I'm Paula de Velado in Barcelona and we collaborate with Formacion to make.
Some videos in which we explain more or less some general things about caring for dogs.
How do you know if your dog.
Is feeling unwell or not well?
Well, generally when a dog is not.
Feeling well, its routines change.
That is, it either defecates less than.
Usual or defecates more than usual.
The poop can change consistency, it can be too constipated, or it can suffer from diarrhea.
Diarrhea is initially a reason to go to the vet, because an animal that.
Has a lot of diarrhea can become dehydrated.
Another reason that may indicate that the dog is feeling unwell is that it is not drinking as much as it usually does or that it drinks more than it should normally.
Normally, a dog should not drink more.
Than 100 milliliters per kilo per day.
If your dog drinks more than 100.
Milliliters PER kilo per day, you should urgently go to the vet.
Another reason you should look out for.
If your dog is not well is.
Does it change habits, such as going.
To get the door when you get.
Home, wanting to go outside, wanting to play, climbing up and down the sofa, climbing stairs? Sometimes pain from arthritis or bone pain.
Makes the animal less motivated to do things.
Another typical symptom of animals that are.
Not well is a tendency to gain weight.
If you are controlling what an animal.
Eats and the animal continues to gain.
Weight, or conversely, if your dog eats.
The same thing as always and loses.
Weight, it means that something is wrong. Finally, the coat is a very important.
Sign of an animal's health.
If you notice that your dog's coat changes color, loses its shine, falls out or falls out excessively, or loses hair.
In areas of the body, it would be another reason to see a vet.
Finally, dogs also suffer from fever.
Fever in dogs.
The body temperature of dogs is much higher than that of people. A dog's normal Temperature is between 38.
And 538 to 39.4.5.
It also depends on the age of the dog. Puppies tend to have a higher body temperature than adults. If your dog has a fever, the.
Only way to know is to take its temperature, which is usually done rectally with a thermometer.
Well, if you have any questions, the.
Best thing to do is go to your veterinarian. And if you are interested in learning more about the world of veterinary medicine.
And studying the subject, you can go to B Formacion, where they offer both.
Online and in person courses for veterinary technical assistance.
