How to treat stomatitis in British Toy Snipe dogs? Stomatitis in dogs can be divided into catarrhal, vesicular and ulcerative stomatitis according to the nature of the inflammation. Among them, catarrhal stomatitis is more common.

1. Causes of canine stomatitis:

1. The most common reason is that thick and hard bones, sharp teeth, nails, wires, etc. directly damage the oral mucosa, and then secondary infection causes stomatitis.

2. The second is the accidental ingestion of quicklime, ammonia, spoiled feed, and excessively concentrated irritating drugs.

3. Secondary to tongue injury, pharyngitis or certain infectious diseases.

2. Clinical symptoms of canine stomatitis:

Diagnosis can be made based on medical history, etiology and clinical symptoms.

1. Sick dogs refuse to eat rough and hard feed, preferring to eat liquid feed and soft meat. They can swallow the food without chewing it or chew it a few times and then spit it out.

2. Saliva increases and appears as white foam attached to the lips, or flows out in the form of threads.

3. When inflammation is severe, salivation will be more obvious. When examining the oral cavity, it can be seen that the mucous membrane is flushed and swollen, the oral temperature is increased, the patient feels allergic, and the exhaled breath has a foul odor.

4. In vesicular stomatitis, blisters of varying sizes can be seen.

5. In ulcerative stomatitis, erosion, necrosis or ulcers can be seen on the mucous membrane.

3. Drug treatment of canine stomatitis:

1. Generally, 1% saline solution, 2-3% boric acid solution, or 2-3% sodium bicarbonate solution can be used to rinse the mouth 2-3 times a day.

2. If your mouth has a bad odor, you can use 0.1% potassium permanganate solution to rinse your mouth.

3. When there is too much saliva, you can use 1% alum or tannic acid solution to wash your mouth.

4. When there are erosions or ulcers on the oral mucosa or tongue surface. After rinsing the mouth, apply iodine glycerin (1 part of 5% iodine, 9 parts of glycerin), or 2% gentian violet or 1% sulfaglycerol emulsion. Apply to the wound surface 2-3 times a day.

5. For severe stomatitis, you can take a sulfa-alum mixture (10 grams of long-acting sulfa powder, 2-3 grams of alum, put into a cloth bag); or take the traditional Chinese medicine Qingdai powder, which has a good effect.

IV. Preventive measures for canine stomatitis:

1. Eliminate the cause of the disease: remove foreign objects stuck on the dog’s oral mucosa, trim sharp teeth, and stop taking irritating drugs orally.

2. Strengthen care: feed liquid food, drink water regularly, rinse the mouth with water after feeding, etc.
