What to do and what not to do when you have a dog or cat

/

Generally speaking, people like to raise pets from their childhood. According to clinical observation, about one-third of the people who raise puppies and cats for the first time cause their puppies and cats to be sick or even die due to their lack of knowledge in raising them.

Moreover, after the death of the first small pet, some people do not summarize their experience in time or consult a veterinarian, and immediately proceed to raise a second one, and the result is still the same.

DONT

1, feeding too much food at home with a new gadgets, everyone sees like; like to give some food, you feed a bite, I feed a bite, especially just bought back from outside the small things, due to starvation, they must have eaten a lot. In this way, you see, it does not vomit and diarrhea is strange! Some new owners do not know timely veterinary treatment, kittens, puppies and low resistance to disease, or because of “eating a meal” death.

2, bathing cold new pets into the home, some of the body is dirty, or the owner of the clean, often the same day to give them a bath, thus causing a cold; some in the bath with a hot air blow dry, due to the wind is too large, but also get a pet with a runny nose, coughing, elevated body temperature. Whether it is eating too much or catching a cold, the resistance of puppies and cats will be lowered, so that the original body or the environment of pathogenic microorganisms, such as canine distemper virus, canine microvirus, feline distemper virus and other large number of reproduction, resulting in the development of disease and death of puppies and dogs.

3、Buy sick or weak puppies and cats Some pets look healthy, but are actually in the pre-morbid stage, and will develop soon after entering the home.

4, the new owner’s lack of knowledge of the original small pet is quite healthy, but the new owner likes to take the little guy to play around, and even let them and has been sick dogs and cats a piece of play and kiss (of course, the owner does not know), resulting in their own pets are infected.

DO

1, get the pet immediately after the veterinarian to the physical examination of new kittens, puppies, especially from the outside to buy small pets, because they have contact with other animals in the market, or want to buy the people constantly touch the hand touch that, the pathogenic microorganisms spread. Therefore, owners should bring their pets to the veterinary hospital for examination as soon as they get them. You can ask the veterinarian to give the puppies and cats some anti-disease serums first, and then take them for vaccination after they have been raised for about 10 days after returning home, when the kittens and puppies are strong and have adapted to the environment of their new home.

2, closed feeding just get puppies and cats happy mood is understandable, but do not take it around, “show off”, and do not let it contact with other dogs and cats. When the relevant vaccination is completed, the pet body is strong and has immunity, and then take it out to play is not too late.

3, feed commercially available cat food, dog food cat food, dog food is a full-price balanced food, can make small pets grow and develop well, strong resistance to disease, less sick.

4, regular, quantitative feeding just into the home of the puppies and cats, first let them drink some water, a little rest, and then start feeding. The amount of food to be fed to the puppy cats 80% full is the best. Puppies can be fed three times a day, and you can refer to the instructions on the bag. Due to the differences in individual puppies, the amount of food may vary, so owners can adjust the amount by themselves.

The method of adjustment is: after a meal, if there is still a little left, then the next feeding, you can appropriately reduce some; if after eating, the pet does not seem to be full, and the stomach is not too big, you can increase a little more. In short, it is best if the pet is basically full and there is no more food left in the food bowl and it still kind of wants more. Fresh water should be available 24 hours a day. The most important thing to avoid is to give snacks in addition to regular, measured feedings.

Feeding snacks, first, it is not easy to control the amount of food, and second, it disrupts the digestive and absorptive patterns of the puppies and cats, which can easily lead to indigestion, diarrhea and so on.

5, do not buy a sick or weak cheap puppies and cats or bring it home, soon it will be sick or seriously ill, its diagnosis, treatment costs far more than the money to buy pets do not count, but also may be due to the diagnosis and treatment of untimely death of the pet, the owner is anxious, sad.

6, not immediately bathe if it is dirty, you can use a towel and warm water to scrub the local; if the whole body is dirty, should also be two days, and so it regained strength, and then take a full body bath. After bathing, use a dry towel to wipe off as much moisture as possible, then wrap it up with a dry towel or blanket and put it in a warm place to dry naturally. Slightly older puppy cats can be dried with a warm blow dryer. Do not blow with strong hot air, as your pet will easily get sick.

7, timely diagnosis and treatment after the onset of disease Puppies and cats like children, the immune system is not yet fully developed, poor disease resistance, and the more purebred puppies and cats, the poorer the immunity, the more difficult to raise. Therefore, once you find any abnormality in your puppy or cat, you should consult a veterinarian in time. The sooner you see a doctor, the greater the hope of cure. The treatment should not only be timely, but also continuous, never intermittent, so that the puppy cat is difficult to be completely cured.
