Intestinal blockage causing rupture

Intestinal blockage, also called intestinal obstruction, can be divided into complete obstruction and incomplete obstruction. Intestinal obstruction will cause the intestinal contents to be unable to descend and be discharged smoothly. Common symptoms There are severe abdominal pain and other obvious systemic symptoms. There are many causes of this disease. For example, dogs and cats accidentally swallow the toys when playing with them, there are many parasites in the intestines, tumors grow in the intestines, etc. These factors can cause intestinal obstruction.
Complete obstruction is much more serious than incomplete obstruction. Animals with incomplete obstruction can drink water, but will vomit when eating solid food. Animals with complete obstruction generally drink even water. No, if the time is too long, intestinal congestion and necrosis will occur, leading to rupture, and stool will overflow from the intestinal tube and reach the interior of the abdominal cavity, causing infection of the entire abdominal cavity, leading to peritonitis and septicemia. Treatment methods generally use surgery to clear the intestinal tract or remove the necrotic part and then suture it, and recovery can be achieved with antibiotics and fasting therapy.

Hematoma

A hematoma occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and blood spills into the surrounding tissue, forming a blood-filled cavity. Common hematomas include ear hematomas. This is because dogs or cats often scratch their ears with their paws. The excessive force can cause the blood vessels in the ears to rupture and cause ear hematomas. Owners should pay attention to whether their pets’ ears are clean and give them regular care. Deworm and remove ears. There are other reasons, such as non-open fractures, that can also cause hematoma.
The general symptoms of hematoma are painlessness, heatlessness, and no other symptoms. The hematoma area has a fluctuating feeling. If a diagnosis is to be confirmed, a puncture can be performed. The principle of treatment is to drain accumulated blood, prevent infection, and stop bleeding in time.

Femur fracture

Fracture is a common disease. Sometimes we see lost animals on the street with injured legs. They are usually caused by car accidents or chases. The specific treatment methods for fractures in different parts are different, some are internal fixation, some are external fixation, and in severe cases, amputation is required. Older animals, like humans, often break bones due to osteoporosis, but dogs fed bones usually don't suffer from injuries due to the high calcium content in their bones.

Mammary gland tumors

Mammary gland tumors are most common in dog breeds, especially female dogs over 10 years old, and less common in dogs under 2 years old. Of course, male dogs can also develop mammary gland tumors. rare. The cause of this disease is usually caused by hormones. If the female dog is sterilized early, it can not only reduce the chance of pyometra, but also greatly reduce the occurrence of mammary tumors. Because studies have found that estrogen and progesterone are important factors that cause tumors.
The symptom is hard nodular lumps in the breast, which may be large or small. The main treatment method is to remove the breast, and you can also perform sterilization surgery, which can cure it completely. Benign tumors can survive for many years after surgery, while malignant tumorsThe prognosis after surgery is poor, and it is ideal to combine radiotherapy, drug therapy and other comprehensive treatments after surgery.

Foreign bodies in the stomach

Puppies and cats accidentally eat indigestible substances, and the substances are too large to go down into the intestines and remain in the stomach. Adult dogs and cats Rare. Symptoms include loss of appetite, depression, often vomiting but unable to spit out anything substantial, and moaning in pain.
If this disease is not treated in time, dogs and cats will develop systemic symptoms such as weight loss, malnutrition, and anemia. Diagnosis can be made based on clinical symptoms and X-rays. For small and small foreign bodies in the stomach, some emetic agents can be injected to promote expulsion. For large and large foreign bodies, surgery must be performed promptly to prevent the foreign bodies from blocking the pylorus and causing gastric dilation. If you encounter dogs and cats with pica when raising them, you must treat the disease fundamentally.
