Infusing dogs with albumin can improve their own immunity and promote development. Albumin is generally used during the treatment period for dogs suffering from canine distemper or parvovirus, and can help dogs maintain their physical strength and resist viruses.

However, please note that when infusing albumin to dogs, you can only use canine albumin, not human albumin, and it is best done under the advice and operation of a professional doctor.

Let us understand what is albumin?

Serum albumin, also known as Serum albumin, is often abbreviated as ALB. Serum albumin is synthesized in the liver and is the most abundant protein in vertebrate plasma.

The main function of albumin is to transport substances in the blood, maintain the normal osmotic pressure of the blood, and expand blood volume.

The normal total protein content of dogs is 5.3-7.5g, and the albumin is 3-4.8g. If the test value is lower than this value, it can be diagnosed as hypoalbuminemia.
