Many people know that it is normal for dogs to get sick. For example, Papillon dogs may cough or vomit, which will cause a series of adverse reactions to the dog, not only causing great harm to the dog's body, but also causing serious harm to the dog's body. It also brings a lot of trouble to the owner's care, so what should I do if my Papillon has a cough? Of course we have to send it to the pet hospital in time.
1. Reasons for coughing:I have seen many owners of Papillon dogs say that their Papillon dogs always wheeze sometimes, especially when they are excited. The cause of this vexing problem turned out to be a collapsed trachea. Tracheal collapse is usually considered a congenital disease. In fact, tracheal trauma or severe tracheal inflammation may cause tracheal collapse. Most tracheal collapses will cause exhalation difficulties to varying degrees, and some individuals may have severe difficulty in exhaling and inhaling. This symptom is more common in small dogs or miniature individuals of this type of dog. It is a common symptom among Papillon dogs, especially Papillon dogs with the popular apple-head shape. Generally speaking, as long as the forehead is high and the muzzle is short! Individuals whose side angles are 90° or lower than 90° are most likely to have this symptom. This symptom also occurs in obese individuals. This symptom is not easy to notice when puppies are young, but gradually occurs with age or obesity. When the seasons change, and the difference in temperature and humidity is too large, a breathing sound similar to "goose" occurs, which is almost certain to be caused by this. The disease is individual. If the frequency of occurrence is not high and the duration is infrequent, don’t be too nervous. Just maintain it carefully. Don’t let your Papillon suffer from respiratory diseases from time to time and injure the trachea, and be careful to maintain weight so that it does not overdo it. There is no need to worry about obesity, which may induce this condition! If the condition is serious, you should go to the doctor immediately to avoid difficulty breathing and causing suffocation. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger!2. How to distinguish between physiology and physiology Physiological and pathological cough: 1) Time of occurrence of cough: Physiological cough usually occurs in the morning and evening, after eating, and after exercise. Pathological cough generally has no specific pattern. 2) Frequency of cough: Physiological cough usually attacks occasionally, while pathological cough usually attacks continuously. 3) The mental state of Papillon dogs: The mental state of Papillon dogs is better when physiological vomiting occurs. Generally, dogs are in poor mental condition when pathological vomiting occurs. 3. How to treat cough: Antiviral drugs: Isatis root, antiviral granules Antibiotic drugs: amoxicillin, azithromycin, Kechuanling, Baichufuning Traditional Chinese medicine: Mebeigankang improves immunity and anti-inflammatory drugs Health care products for viruses: antiviral drops, purple daisy powder, pet fragrance immune polysaccharide ointment Cough medicines: Cotton Cough Cough Water, Loquat Cough Cough Lotion, etc. 4. How to improve the healing speed of cold and cough in butterfly dogs. Take measures to keep warm. It is not advisable to take them out in the morning and evening. Blow hot air from a hair dryer on the Papillon's chest and back for 15 minutes every day to promote blood circulation in the lungs.
