3. Vaccine/Deworming

【Internal deworming】

Puppies should be dewormed for the first time around 28 days after they are born, once every month under six months, once every two months from six months to twelve months, and once every three months over twelve months. These are the best Basic deworming. The ingredients of common spectrum anthelmintics are ivermectin, fibantel, praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate. The scope of deworming mainly includes heartworms, roundworms, Ascaris canis, Stenocephaly canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Trichocephala canis, Echinococcus tapeworm, Taenia tapeworm, Diplopore tapeworm, etc. But nowadays, in the process of raising dogs, we often encounter not only the above internal parasites, but also some parasites that seriously harm dogs, which require targeted anthelmintic drugs to get rid of, such as: trichomonas, coccidia, etc. Trichomonas canis can be diagnosed according to the degree of infectionDog size to take appropriate amount of metronidazole. Medications for coccidia include Baiqiuqin, Xinbizhi, and sulfa drugs.

【External deworming】

Common external parasites, such as mosquitoes, sandflies, fleas, lice, ticks, etc. These parasites suck the blood of pets, causing anemia, itching, spreading a variety of diseases (bacteria, viruses, parasites), and may cause zoonosis. Commonly used drugs include Fipronil. If the dog is bitten by the above parasites, it will also bring microparasites, mites, etc. These tiny parasites will cause the dog to bite, scratch, and rub the affected area all day long, making the dog irritable and restless, affecting rest and normal eating. Clinically, it can be seen that sick dogs become increasingly emaciated and malnourished, and in severe cases, can lead to death. Commonly used drugs include ivermectin, doramectin, cetopyrexide, methamine, etc.

【Vaccine】

Vaccines are actually viruses. Vaccine viruses have been cultivated and processed through modern medical technology. The activity of the virus is much lower than that of normal viruses. When the vaccine virus invades the dog's body, the dog's body will gradually develop resistance. Since the activity of the vaccine virus is extremely low, the resistance developed by the dog can defeat the virus, thereby ensuring that the dog is not harmed by the virus and ensures the dog's health. (Note: Vaccination can only be carried out when the dog is in good health.)

【Notes】

Note: Under normal circumstances, dogs will not have much mental change after being injected with the vaccine virus. A few dogs will become less energetic and less active the next day after vaccination. These are temporary. Sexual phenomena will return to normal in a day or two. If about half an hour after the injection, the eyes and lips become red and swollen, or you drool and become unable to stand up, it means you are allergic to the vaccine. The probability of this is only one in a thousand. Most of them occur with leptospira vaccines. Inject them in time. Just take the anti-allergy shot and it will slowly subside in an hour or so.

IV. Body odor/tear stains

【Body Odor】

Poodles have a moderate level of body odor. As long as you bathe, brush teeth and other cleaning tasks for the dog in a timely and reasonable manner, there will be basically no body odor.

【Tears】

The formation of lacrimal glands is mainly caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction and genetic genes (when it cries, the lacrimal glands secrete too much tear fluid and cannot be discharged from the tear ducts, and tears will flow from the corners of the eyes to form lacrimal glands). To treat tear ducts, hold a tissue on the bridge of the nose and gently massage both sides of the inner corners of the eyes for five minutes each time, twice a day. It is best to use eye drops to clear the nasolacrimal ducts to better relieve the tear ducts.

5. Suitable for the crowd

Poodles are generally suitable for raising at home. Poodles come in various sizes and are suitable for all kinds of people. They are cheerful, loyal and friendly, not aggressive, and are protective and clingy.

6. Feeding methods

Poodle puppies can eat soft soaked puppy food with an appropriate amount of calcium powder to supplement nutrition. When you grow up, you can change it to dog food. When changing dog food, don't change it all at once. Mix in half of the new food every time, try it for two or three days, and gradually increase the new amount. After a week, use the new food again. Owners can also add boiled carrots, chicken breasts, egg yolks and other foods to dog food, which are both nutritious and delicious.

7. Beauty

Daily grooming tools for poodles include: nail brush, shaving brush, and metal brush. Run a warm tap over it in a bathtub or large sink and apply shampoo. Note: When flushing the head, be sure to cover its ears to prevent water from entering the ear canal. Poodle hair trimming is the most complicated and has the most hair trimming methods. As a family pet, keep it cool and properly groomed by Dutch pruning. The method is: the hair on the top of the head should be cut into a round shape with a moderate length, allowing for a beard. The hair on the face, below the ankles and at the heel of the tail should be cut short. The hair on the buttocks, shoulders and forelimbs should be cut into a length of approximately 4 cm, and the hair on the waist and neck is cut short, making it look like wearing jeans. The tip of the tail should be cut into a large fur ball, which not only looks good, but also makes people feel refreshed and eye-catching, and will prevent eczema.
