Mental state is a comprehensive reflection of nervous system function and dog health. A healthy dog should have bright eyes, flexible ears and tail, react quickly when someone approaches, and show active approach or avoidance. If eyes are dull, mental dogs are depressed, etc., they are more likely to get sick. Careful observation of Samoyed is the key to timely discovery, correct judgment and early treatment. 1. Body temperature is under normal living conditions. The normal temperature of a healthy dog is: puppy 38.5? 39, adult dog 37.5? 38.5。 A simple way to judge a dog's fever is to analyze the dog's nose, ears and mental state.
The nose of a normal dog is cold and moist, and the skin temperature of the ear root is the same as that of other parts. If the dog's nose (nasal mirror) is dry and hot, the skin temperature at the root of the ear is higher than other parts, and the dog is listless, poor appetite and thirsty, indicating that the dog's body temperature is high. In most infectious diseases, inflammation of respiratory tract, digestive tract and other organs, heatstroke, heatstroke and body temperature rise.
In the case of poisoning, severe failure, malnutrition and anemia, the body temperature often drops. The most accurate way to measure body temperature is to use a thermometer. When measuring the body temperature, first drop the mercury column of the thermometer below 35, wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball for disinfection, lift the dog's tail slightly, and slowly insert the thermometer into the anus. In order to prevent the thermometer from falling off after insertion, it can be taken out in about 3 minutes and read the degree. When the dog is excited, nervous and exercising, the rectal temperature can increase slightly.
2. Nutritional status Judge Samoyed's nutritional status, mainly by observing body shape and coat. A healthy dog should be moderately fat and thin, with smooth body lines, plump muscles and smooth and shiny fur. If the dog's body is thin, its muscles are slack, its fur is rough, dull and dry. It is often the manifestation of parasitic diseases, skin diseases, chronic digestive diseases or some infectious diseases. Samoyed, who is in a healthy mental state, is lively and lovely, full of energy, flexible in action and full of spirits in his eyes. His ears often turn with the sound. When he hears the slightest movement, he will prick up his ears and stare at the direction of the movement, showing a very clever mental state. If the dog is unwell, his eyes will be dull or half closed, and he will not move, and his ears will be slow or unresponsive to external stimuli, making him sleepy.
