Basic information about the dog

Some of them carry case books, vaccine books, etc., as well as some basic information, such as age, medical history, daily eating habits, whether they have been neutered, etc.

When did the dog's symptoms begin?

If you come to the doctor for consultation just after the abnormality appears, it is likely that you only need to do basic immune consolidation or drug assistance; if you delay coming to the doctor for a long time, , then the doctor will consider increasing the intensity of treatment based on the test results.

The dog’s recent abnormal behavior

For example, the dog’s mental state, whether it has frequent urination, oliguria, or anuria, the color of the urine and how the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption are, whether it licks the genitals, barks, bends the waist, Reluctance to move, hunger strike, vomiting, soft or loose stools, etc.

What do dogs eat

When diagnosing and treating skin abnormalities, in addition to testing for common causes such as fungi and parasites, food will also be considered by veterinarians, as allergies can also cause skin itching. Parents should have a certain understanding of the ingredients of their own dog food, especially the main animal ingredients. Some dogs are allergic to specific items.
Also, has the dog changed its food recently? Through the performance before and after eating different dog foods, veterinarians can determine the dog’s digestive characteristics, food requirements and food ingredients that may cause allergies. In addition, the health problems of other pets using the same brand of dog food can also be used as a basis for the doctor's diagnosis.

Dog’s immunity and deworming status

Basic immunity and consolidated immunity are firewalls that help dogs stay away from common diseases. They are also the first insurance to protect family members and others, so whether to deworm And what kind of anthelmintics to use will also help doctors judge the condition.

Are there other dogs at home?

If it is an infectious disease, veterinarians will generally recommend that other pets in the home be immediately isolated or disinfected with relevant equipment; if there are signs of the disease being shared by pets, it is recommended that Other members of the family should take precautions and disinfection.

How often do dogs bathe?

Bathing too frequently or too little may cause health problems and destroy the normal environment on the body surface. When bathing pets independently, it is difficult to ensure that the wet coat can be fully dried in time. Using non-pet-specific bath products can cause skin irritation and easily cause skin problems.

Dog’s amount of exercise

The amount and frequency of exercise are the basis for judging whether the dog’s exercise is sufficient. Insufficient exercise is a causative factor for dogs with strong exercise needs. If the amount of exercise cannot meet the needs, the dog will have a series of physiological and psychological abnormal behaviors. Therefore, the dog’s performance during exercise is also a reference for diagnosis. one.

Dog’s medical treatment

If it involves transferring to a hospital or changing doctors, the dog has already received other treatments and the treatment results are unsatisfactory. The previous treatment plans and laboratory results can be used as a reference. If the diagnosis of the condition in the two hospitals is consistent, it means that the doctor and the owner must have overlooked certain details, and this is precisely the key to a breakthrough in treatment!
Finally, let me say the important things three times: take photos and record videos, take photos and record videos, take photos and record videos! ! !
The various manifestations of dogs are not what you think they are. Their stools are not just what you say they are, and their coughs are not what you think they are. For specific manifestations, you must take photos and videos as soon as possible. , Only in this way can the doctor make a correct judgment!
