Labrador
Friends who buy Labrador generally do When buying a puppy, many parents are new to it and don’t know much about caring for a Labrador. So, how to care for a newly purchased Labrador?
If your Labrador puppy is between 2 months and 3 months old, please do not bathe it, let alone believe what the dog seller says it has done. Because it does not matter in terms of time that "epidemic prevention" has passed, the correct epidemic prevention process should take 15 weeks to complete. The main reflections of whether the dog's current condition is normal are: mental outlook, appearance, appetite, secretions in the mouth, nose and eyes, whether there is excessive eye feces, yellow nasal discharge, whether there are any strange secretions in the mouth, and whether the body temperature can be maintained At normal body temperature: 38-39 degrees, whether the secretion is normal, whether there is diarrhea, whether the color of the urine is normal, if the color of the urine is dark, it may be poisoned, whether there is a cough, including artificial to induce coughing when pinching the neck.
When any of the above conditions are inconsistent, we suggest that you do not bathe or vaccinate the puppy for the time being. The reason is that the puppy has just changed its environment and its resistance is very weak. , if the heat preservation after bathing is not good, it will easily reduce the chance of the dog getting sick; and vaccines are mostly inactivated or attenuated vaccines, which means that the vaccine itself is also a virus. If the dog is sick, If the dog is vaccinated, the vaccine will act as a catalyst to accelerate the dog's onset.
If your dog is normal in all respects, we recommend that you wait a week first, because sometimes there are also healthy poisonous dogs, which means that the dog is already sick but is Don't get angry. There is no difference between injecting the vaccine and killing it at this time. If there is still no problem after a week, then you can give it a preventive treatment. After a week, its resistance can increase to 10-20%. At this time, you can give it a bath, but it must be kept warm, but we It is still recommended that you do not wash it, and it is not too late to wash it after the epidemic prevention is completely dry.
It is very rare for people to feed their dogs the same food as their original owners. Even if they are feeding dog food, it may not necessarily be the same brand, and the person selling the dog will not be willing to buy the dog. Feed the puppy food, so we suggest that you feed the puppy with puppy dog food. If the dog is too small, you can feed the puppy with dog milk powder. Add a little lactase enzyme to the milk powder to prevent the puppy from not meeting the requirements after changing food. If diarrhea occurs, slowly add dog food to the milk and do not feed it with milk. Generally, puppies will have diarrhea after drinking milk, and serious cases may cause dehydration. This kung fu masterYou may wish to prepare some "Mi Cola" to prevent diarrhea and indigestion in puppies. Do not feed other foods, including all snacks, because many foods can cause poisoning or allergies in puppies. Puppies will infiltrate 20-30 minutes after waking up and 30-40 minutes after meals, so be well prepared at this time to avoid being caught off guard. The puppy is placed for a long time, which should be about 10-18 hours a day. The puppy will have physical twitching when being placed. This is normal. This is not a neurological symptom caused by canine distemper or poisoning.
Please try not to let your puppy come into contact with other dogs before it has completed its vaccination, because its internal antibodies are not fully produced at this time, and there is a possibility of being infected at any time. Many owners think that dogs should be bathed when they are dirty. This is wrong because the dog’s skin is much thinner than you think, so the correct bathing frequency should be once every 7-10 days. Taking a bath for a long time will make the dog Damage to the dog's subcutaneous hair follicles such as hair loss, dandruff, redness, swelling, and itching can lead to skin diseases. If the hair follicles are severely damaged, permanent alopecia areata will occur, so owners please be careful and do not use human intoxicants, because the PH value of human and dog skin is completely different.
There are also many owners who think that puppies need a lot of special nutrients to supplement them. We tell you that this is a wrong assumption. As long as your dog eats dog food, the nutrition is basically balanced. Dogs only need special supplementary nutrition after surgery, during lactation, and during pregnancy. Excessive intake of nutrients will cause nutritional diseases in dogs. For example, excessive calcium supplementation can easily cause the dog’s joints to be too strong; excessive vitamin intake can easily cause dog poisoning; excessive fat intake can easily cause dog obesity and obesity. Anal gland disease.
Finally, let’s talk about medication. Many owners do not agree to take their puppies to the pet hospital and give their puppies medicine at home. We remind you that doing so is very dangerous. The most common mistake many owners make is Antibiotics are used no matter what disease the dog has. However, you don’t know that dogs are allergic to many antibiotics. The most typical examples are Su Mu and Shetland being allergic to ivermectin. Many dogs are allergic to it. Penicillin and gentamicin are allergic, so we recommend that you do not abuse the medicine at home. Of course, if it is just a simple trauma, you can treat it yourself. When cleaning the wound, be sure to use a prescription that is less irritating to the dog's skin, such as : Iodine glycerin, iodine cerumen, etc. are all good prescriptions, and there will be no harm if the puppy licks them, because they can be used as oral disinfectants, so they are not poisonous.
Well, these are the issues that you need to pay attention to when taking care of new puppies. We hope that this article can provide some help to those friends who have just bought puppies and reviewed them and those who are about to buy puppies. Help, and I hope you can love them well, but you must use scientific raising methods and don't harm their lives with your love!
