Having a friendly, loyal dog in the household is a real joy. But as a dog owner and dog lover you must be aware of certain facts about your dog’s good health. This awareness will help you to ensure that your dog is always in top shape because you can look out for the signs of good health in a dog and any the deviation from that and take precaution before the problem takes a serious turn.
拥有一只忠实的狗狗是一件愉快的事,但身为主人和爱狗之人,你必需对狗儿的一些健康和识有所了解,因为这让你时刻清楚狗儿健康状况,并且在情况恶化前加以防范.
Here are the simple tips for every dog lover.
一下为一些经常需要注意的事项:
1. In general a dog’s nose is always moist and cool. If you find it is hot and dry then it’s a sign of problem. Most common cause of this is dehydration. Give it sufficient amount of water to drink. But don’t give too much water at one go.
Preferably mix some electrolyte suitable for dogs with the water. Dehydration problem is common in hot summer months, especially when the dog spends a lot of time outdoor. But dryness of nose may be because of some reason other than simple dehydration. In that case you should consider consulting your vet.
基本上,狗的鼻子经常是湿润和凉的.如果你发现狗儿鼻子是炎热和干燥,那就代表有问题了.一般上是脱水现象,给它足够水喝就好了.
2. Body temperature is a very good indicator of normal health. Body temperature of a healthy dog is around 101 degree Fahrenheit. It can be up to 102 degree Fahrenheit. But if temperature deviates from this range, you should consult your vet.
狗的体温是介于华氏101到102度,任何在这以外的体温都是不正常,必需带它去看兽医.
3. Another easy check is your dog’s skin condition. Skin of a normal healthy dog is clean, free from dandruff and scurf, skin color pinkish white. Healthy skin also shows good amount of elasticity. When pinched or pulled skin should return to original place in no time.
狗儿的皮肤也是最容易看出问题的地方,健康狗儿的皮肤是干净,没有皮屑,颜色是浅粉红色,而且弹性.
4. Inside the ears should be light in color and free from infection. Deep redness or wax accumulation indicates help of veterinary doctor should be sought.
耳朵里面应该是浅红色而且没有任何感染迹象.深红色或呈现油质代表狗儿应该看医生了.
5. Much like human beings eyes of dogs also tells a lot if you can read. Eyes of a healthy dog are clear and alert. If instead of that you find there is an expression of pain and discomfort or eye membranes are deep red in color instead of healthy pink, it indicates trouble.
狗的眼睛也很容易看出问题来,健康的狗眼是明亮,清澈的,如果呈现红眼更即代表它生病了.
6. Teeth of a healthy dog are clean and free from tarter. Dirty, loose or infected tooth means trouble and should cause concern.
By any means this is not an exhaustive list of things one should be aware of about dog health. But these are easy to check (anybody can check these without being a vet) and would help to detect the most common ailments at the outset.
健康狗儿牙齿应该是干净,没有牙垢.肮脏,疏松或受感染的牙齿会造成健康问题.
