Nurturing and Caring for your sick puppy
Now a day's our pets are just like our children. They are very
precious to us and when one takes ill can cause us great concern. When
puppies get sick it can be even more of a concern because just like
young children the illness can take a harder toll on the young sick
pup. Finding out why he or she is sick can be very hard to diagnose
because unlike children they can not tell you were it hurts. This
article will help you learn some of the basic first aid items so your
puppy can make a quick recovery. First we must mention that if your
sick puppy is vomiting blood or defecating blood please call your vet
right away. This can be a very serious case.
Ways to tell your dog is sick.
All dogs have cold and wet noses. When a puppy or adult dog becomes
sick they will have a dry and warm nose. This will let you know your
dog is having a fever. Fevers are not bad per say because it is a
natural body reaction and the increased body temperature is a sign the
immune system is fighting of the sickness. You can also take your dogs
temperature but this can be very difficult to do so feeling the nose
is the best way for a quick answer....
