The causes of these symptoms may be rhinitis caused by colds, as well as head trauma, abscesses, ulcers, vitamin A deficiency, nutritional deficiencies, etc.

Salivation in the mouth: You should check whether you have stomatitis, whether the mouth is punctured by foreign objects such as bone tips, sawdust, etc., whether the color of the tooth roots changes (such as white, yellow, excessively red, black, etc.), and whether there are other traumas.

The fluff will fall off naturally after a certain period of time, so human help is needed. The fluff is easily knotted and if it is not combed for a long time, it will stick to the dog's skin like a cake. It will also hinder the growth of new fluff and prevent air circulation. High skin temperature gives some parasites and fungi room to live, so it is best to comb the dog's hair every day, starting from the skin stem and combing outwards. After bathing, be sure to rinse, blow dry and comb the hair. Dogs should be sprayed with anti-flea and fungus medicine regularly every month. The medicine should be sprayed on the skin and gently massaged with hands twice a month. This can reduce the risk of skin diseases. The grass outside can also spread fleas and fungi.
