How to judge whether stray dogs are healthy?

Many dog lovers can't help but want to bring stray dogs back to their homes and give them a warm home when they see them outside all day and hungry. Adopting stray dogs is a good thing. Healthy stray dogs must be grateful to their owners who are willing to take them in, because they have been wandering for a long time. Maybe they are smarter and more sensible than the dog they bought. Even if they have shortcomings, they can be corrected through care and training after adoption. However, if stray dogs stay outside for too long, they will inevitably get sick because of bacterial infection. Therefore, for the sake of safety, when choosing to adopt stray dogs, it is necessary to judge whether the stray dogs are healthy in advance, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to their families. So how to judge whether stray dogs are healthy?

1. Judging whether a stray dog is healthy from the five senses.

Eyes: Healthy dogs have symmetrical eyes, clear eyes, no tears and many secretions. If the dog's eyes are red, swollen, dull, watery and excreted too much, it indicates inflammation. Nose: A healthy dog's nose should be black and bright, with a moist nose and no sticky things such as snot. Oral cavity: Whether the oral cavity of healthy dogs is red, swollen and ulcerated, and it smells no obvious rancid smell. Ear: A healthy dog is sensitive to sound, which means that its hearing is normal. Observe whether the ear canal is clean and free of secretions.

2. Judging whether stray dogs are healthy from their hair and skin.

The hair of a healthy dog should be smooth and shiny, look clean without big bald spots, and the skin should be elastic and shiny without a lot of dander. Gently stroking with your hands will not cause obvious hair loss. If the dog has been scratching the fixed skin, and the skin is red, swollen or even festering, it should be a skin disease or parasite, and it needs to be killed in time.

3. Judging whether stray dogs are healthy from excrement.

The urine of healthy dogs should be white, and dark yellow or red indicates kidney problems. The excretory orifice of healthy dogs should be clean and dry, without swelling and ulcer. If the feces pulled out are always not caked, even if the water is pulled, the feces are too dry and the color is black, indicating that there is something wrong with the stomach of stray dogs.

4. Judging whether stray dogs are healthy from their mental state.

Healthy dogs are generally full of energy after eating and drinking, cheerful, willing to get along with people, and have certain vigilance against strange environments and objects. If stray dogs are always reluctant to move, or hide in dark places and are afraid of the light, they are always slow to respond to the stimulation of the surrounding environment, and even suddenly bite abnormally. This is a manifestation of mental abnormality and even a potential danger of rabies.

5. Judging whether a stray dog is healthy or not from its appetite and vomiting after eating.

Healthy dogs should show a desire to eat at mealtimes, and usually do not lose their appetite or even refuse to eat. In addition, healthy dogs will not vomit after eating. Observe carefully whether stray dogs vomit. If there is no problem with the food supplied, stray dogs often vomit, indicating that they have infectious diseases or gastrointestinal diseases.

6. Judging whether a stray dog is healthy by its various postures and touching with hands.

Healthy dogs are athletic and like to jump. Usually standing, lying and running are very stable and flexible. If they can't keep standing posture or fall easily during exercise, it means that there is something wrong with the nervous system or bone joints of stray dogs. You can also touch the dog's back and limbs with your hands. A healthy dog will not have any bone bending deformation, and its limbs should be straight and strong.

7. Take stray dogs to the hospital for examination, vaccinate at the animal epidemic prevention station, and vaccinate on time.

It is not enough to examine the bodies of stray dogs by yourself. Stray dogs should be taken to the pet hospital for a general examination in time, and doctors will give them blood tests and other professional examinations, because some diseases are invisible to the naked eye. What diseases can be treated in time? Then take the stray dogs to the animal epidemic prevention station for vaccination on time. Finally, don't forget to register the adopted stray dog, let it formally become a member of the family and care for its life with love.
