The problem of diarrhea and dryness in dogs is one of the most common diseases in clinical practice. Most pet parents will call the hospital. My dog has diarrhea. What medicine can be taken to cure it? Can I give you some anti-inflammatory medicine at home? When I was just learning to be a pet doctor, pet parents asked questions like this, and I quickly replied, OK, because within my knowledge, I only thought that antibiotics could cure diarrhea, but at that time I He's a bad doctor. As a doctor, the more I study, the less I dare to answer these two questions from parents. Due to work reasons, I must conduct a thorough consultation. At least after a few minutes of communication, I can gradually eliminate some special problems, and then Tell him whether he should take the dog to the hospital for examination.
There are many reasons for dog diarrhea, which may be due to pancreatitis, abnormal enzyme metabolism in the body, infections, parasites, bacteria, food allergies, fungi, spleen and stomach imbalance, excessive environmental humidity, nutritional deficiencies, food Mildew, or accidental ingestion of toxic substances, or intolerance to the food eaten, maldigestion, intestinal diarrhea, colitis-induced diarrhea, etc.

Weakness can lead to poor dogs
There are many reasons that we have heard It is very irresponsible to give an answer in just one or two sentences. Many parents’ descriptions are indeed different from the actual situation. Some parents insist on saying that they have a moral guarantee and that their dogs only eat dog food. I haven't eaten it at all, but what the dog pulled out was either date pits, peanuts, or even family members' underwear. So as doctors, we will repeatedly ask the parents if the dog has any problems in order to find the correct answer, regardless of the customer's disgust. What kind of special food should be eaten and other related questions? The following are the questions I hope parents will first help their dogs answer to the doctor when they have diarrhea.
1. How old is the dog? Body weight? Immunity status?
2. When did you start having diarrhea? Have you ever had severe laxity before?Is there a history of acute diarrhea?
3. What is diet? All snacks included?
4. What did you eat two days before diarrhea?
5. After having diarrhea, diarrhea recurs throughout the day. What is the shape, color and quantity of bowel movements from the first time?
6. Do you have vomiting after having diarrhea? How many times have you vomited? What is the substance, shape, color, and quantity of the vomited object?
7. What is your energy status after diarrhea? Can I have an appetite? Have a desire to drink?
8. Have you given any medicine at home? What medicine were given? How many times have you fed?
9. What is the current body temperature? How many heartbeats per minute? Is your breathing short?
10. How is your mental state?
11. Is there any special taste or residue in the mouth?
When you help the doctor answer these questions, we can basically identify and treat the cause of the dog’s diarrhea. Next, the owner needs to work with the doctor to do some laboratory tests for the dog. Many dog parents are confused at this time. I started to feel bad, why did I need to check again when I didn’t know what the disease was? Parents, don’t be impatient. The doctor needs to go from initial diagnosis to confirmed diagnosis and needs some examinations to assist in diagnosis and treatment. He cannot just guess the disease and treat it. This may lead to direct cure or delayed treatment, but the probability of cure is related. After diagnosis, treatment will be much lower and a lot of unnecessary money will be spent. Therefore, parents must follow the doctor's advice and check for fecal permeate immediately.
Collect feces samples
Fecal examination scores For general character inspection with the naked eye, microscopic observation and chemical observation, we often see under the microscope:
Rare substances in feces
① Cells (white blood cells, red blood cells, eosinophils, macrophages, cancer cells, etc.).
②Intestinal yeast and Candida albicans.
③Food residue. Usually, there are some starch granules and muscle fibers.The increase of peace-keeping fat droplets indicates poor digestion and absorption, which is more common in chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic insufficiency (such as pancreatic head cancer, etc.).
④ Parasites. Rarely, there are roundworm eggs, hookworm eggs, pinworm eggs, clonorchis sinensis eggs, ginger worm eggs and amoeba trophozoites.
The above are of guiding significance for doctors’ diagnosis and treatment, because various diseases have their own specific infiltrates and excretions. Don’t underestimate the key points and criticality just because they look like nothing.
