Symptoms of pharyngitis in dogs:

1. Swallowing disorder and salivation are the characteristics of this disease. Sick dogs have great difficulty swallowing food or spit out food pieces. A large amount of viscous saliva often accumulates in the mouth and flows out in the form of strings, or in large amounts when opening the mouth.

2. The sick dog stretches its head and neck and is unwilling to move. When the pharynx is touched, the sick dog dodges, stretches its neck and shakes its head, and coughs.

3. Sick dogs lose weight rapidly due to dysphagia and reduced appetite.

4. Secondary pharyngitis with obvious systemic symptoms.

Treatment measures for dog pharyngitis:

1. Place the sick dog in a warm, dry, well-ventilated and well-lit kennel, provide liquid food, and drink water frequently.

2. In order to promote the absorption of inflammatory exudates in dogs, warm water or white wine can be applied to the throat for 20 to 30 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times a day. Or rub 10% camphor alcohol on the throat, or apply compound lead acetate powder.

3. When the patient is severe and unable to eat, feeding should be stopped and 10-25% glucose solution can be injected intravenously to supplement nutrition. Severe cases should be combined with systemic therapy and injection of antibiotics or sulfa drugs.
