NO.10 Uterine pus accumulation
The threat of uterine pus accumulation is serious for many female dogs and cats. Unspayed female dogs and cats are prone to uterine abscesses due to bacterial infections and endocrine abnormalities. The latter is more dangerous and is often overlooked or misdiagnosed as other diseases because the clinical signs are not obvious. Severe disease can affect the functioning of the heart and insufficient blood flow to the kidneys, leading to uremia and even death from multiple organ failure.
NO.9 Diabetes mellitus
This is an endocrine disease. The clinical symptoms of diabetes in pets are the same as those in humans, with three more and one less: eating more, drinking more, urinating more, and losing weight (less). The scary thing is that when visible symptoms appear, they are often in the middle and late stages of diabetes. In addition to being given a high-fiber, low-fat diet, sick pets also need daily insulin injections. Diabetes in pets often brings with it a number of sequelae, such as cataracts, hypokalemia, and metabolic acidemia. Treatment requires a great deal of patience from the owner and strong financial support, otherwise the disease will get worse. The main cause of diabetes in pets is obesity.
NO.8 Pneumonia
The cause of pneumonia in dogs is complex, and the nasal cavity of the sick pet will have a large amount of yellow discharge of nasal pus. Examination methods in addition to blood tests and x-rays, but also through bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing to determine the cause of the disease. It is best if aerosol treatment is provided to help expel the phlegm.
NO.7 Blood parasites
Pythium is the most serious form of blood parasites. It is a blood parasitic disease transmitted by wall lice, and the worms are protozoa that can only be seen with a microscope. The worms are parasitic in the red blood cells and destroy them causing hemolysis and severe anemia. Owners should regularly apply flea drops or sprays to their pets to get rid of wallworms on them.
NO.6 Canine heartworm
Heartworm babies (microfilariae) are small and parasitic in the blood of dogs and cats, while adult worms are about a dozen centimeters and parasitic in the heart (right ventricle and pulmonary artery) and can fill the entire heart when there are many worms. The infection is transmitted through mosquito bites, and the older you are, the higher the chance of infection (cats are almost never infected with heartworms, but can be infected when their immune system is weak).
The first common symptoms of heartworm disease are coughing, poor mobility, and tiredness after a short period of exercise, and in severe cases, anemia, ascites, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. The cure rate is high in the early stage of detection, but the treatment effect is very poor in the late stage of detection, because the adult worms have occupied the whole heart, and the worms have to be surgically cleaned out one by one, but the dog’s body is also much worse after the operation. Therefore, we should rely on prevention, regular internal and external deworming and killing mosquitoes, dogs and cats have such strong protection, heartworm is no “worm” to start~
NO.5 Kidney problems
The scary thing about kidney problems in pets is that the disease is hidden, and when it is detected, the kidney cell damage is often more than 75%. The main reason for kidney disease is that pets do not drink enough water, and many owners often feed their pets human food, so that the kidneys of dogs and cats are damaged by the salt burden. Therefore, if your pet has hematuria, change in urination habits or abnormal urine color, you should seek medical attention immediately. Usually do not feed human food, there are also formula food on the market to protect kidney health, and prescription food for pets with kidney disease for parents to choose.
NO.4 Malignant tumors
In the clinical treatment of veterinarians, malignant tumors in pets are easily overlooked, especially in older dogs and cats, which are often directly considered to be just old age. The most common malignant tumors are reproductive tumors. Neutering can greatly reduce or even eliminate the incidence of reproductive tumors, such as mammary tumors, uterine pus accumulation/tumors, ovarian abscesses/tumors in the sister of dogs and cats, and prostate cancer, testicular tumors/cancer in the brother of dogs and cats.
No. 3 Accidents
Dogs and cats are very curious and love to explore everywhere, so there are many fatal accidents including car accidents (you were told not to wear a leash?) Fatal accidents include car accidents, falls from heights (if you don’t close the door or window?) The heavy objects crushed (told you not to put the items in the house?) Electric shock (told you not to hide the wire?) Heat stroke, food poisoning (I told you not to hide the food?) Tell you to feed human food?) The following are some examples of poisonous snake and bee bites, chemical poisoning (I told you not to hide disinfectants and cleaners?) etc. Most of them are because the family ignored the curiosity of bear children, like to rummage through the house to chew and eat personality, did not hide the “dangerous goods” at home, resulting in a seemingly safe room “crisis”. It can be said that the accident caused by the death of the pet is the parents of the pot, the crime of “pet neglect” ah ~!
Heat stroke (heat stroke and sunstroke together commonly known as heat stroke) is the most easily overlooked cause of death. Heat stroke is a disease in which the ambient temperature is too high and the body dissipates heat poorly, resulting in a dysfunctional thermoregulation of the pet and excessive accumulation of heat in the body, raising the body temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius, thus causing damage to the nervous organs. Sunstroke is a disease in which the pet’s head is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, resulting in a sharp increase in head temperature and body temperature, resulting in abnormal mental health and subsequent organ dysfunction. Once a pet suffers from heatstroke, it will soon die from multi-organ failure if proper cooling treatment is not carried out in time.
No.2 Fat ball
According to the clinical experience of veterinary hospitals, about 1/3 of pets are overly obese. The reason for obesity is mostly the feeding of high-calorie food or snacks to please the pet, as well as the lack of activity space the owner can give and the amount of exercise outside. There may also be other physiological or psychological causes, such as thyroxine deficiency and behavioral changes. However, the main reason is the owner’s unreasonable feeding and distorted aesthetics (thinking that the moon and a half, the moon and a half, and the rounded king are only cute).
No.1 Infectious disease
Undoubtedly, the first is the abominable infectious diseases! Commonly killed by major malignant infectious diseases such as canine distemper, canine microvirus, feline distemper, feline nasal branch, etc. These diseases cause death mainly because the owner did not do a good job for the pet immunization program, and let the pet contact sick dogs and cats caused. It is recommended that pets be given regular vaccinations, and if there are new members of the family, remember to let the physician do a health check or isolate them for a period of time for observation before integrating them into the family.
