Shetland Sheepdog

[Reason 1] Sudden changes in food do not follow the method of gradually changing food. Dogs cannot adapt to sudden changes in food and often cause digestive tract diseases.

Coping plan: Take it step by step. Even if you change dog food, you should change it slowly and step by step.

[Reason 2] Feeding too well or too much. I'm afraid that the dog won't eat well and won't be full. Eggs, milk, and fire-cooked intestines are all available. You feed them, I feed them, the owner feeds them, and relatives and friends feed them. It's not regular or quantitative. It's weird if he doesn't get sick within three days. .

Coping plan: Raise them scientifically, do not spoil them or feed them indiscriminately, feed them mainly dog ​​food, add some vegetables, special milk powder, and never eat greasy food.

[Reason 3] Playing with pets excessively, adults playing, children playing, you hugging, I teasing, the dog cannot get a rest.

Coping plan:In fact, puppies, like children, must have sufficient sleep time during their development stage, and they should have 14-16 hours of sleep every day.

[Reason 4]Puppies have incomplete immunity, poor resistance, and are prone to illness.

Response plan: After the puppies are over 40 days old, their health status requires timely vaccination and good care.

[Reason 5] If the dog cannot adapt to the new environment and leaves its original living environment and comes to a strange place, it will feel lonely and helpless and miss its original owner. If it is not taken care of carefully, the dog will get sick. Especially puppies, which have just been weaned and are not used to being away from their brothers and sisters, will be more likely to get sick if the food and room temperature do not meet the requirements.

Coping plan: Spend more time with the dog, communicate with it, give the dog a sense of security, and help it adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

[Reason 6] Improper bathing. Some owners think that dogs are dirty. They bathe their dogs as soon as they get them home without blowing them dry. The dogs are prone to diseases.

Countermeasures:It is best not to bathe a newly purchased dog. It is not enough to turn on the heater in time. The evaporation of water will also take away the heat in the dog's body, leading to a decrease in resistance.

[Reason 7] Going out and coming into contact with other dogs may lead to infectious diseases. Even for dogs that have been vaccinated, the protection rate is not 100%, let aloneThey are unimmunized dogs.

Countermeasures: During the isolation and observation period, newly purchased dogs should not be taken out to play, should not come into contact with other dogs, and should not even be touched by other dog owners to prevent cross-infection.

[Reason 8] Failure to deworm in time. Some owners mistakenly believe that vaccination is enough. Their dogs seldom go out, so it doesn’t matter whether they are dewormed or not.

Countermeasures:In fact, deworming and immunity are equally important. Puppies can be infected with parasites from the mother dog or the external environment, which is very harmful. Do not be paralyzed and take chances.
