Dogs
Summer is here, and dogs have more opportunities to play in the water. The frequency of bathing and foot washing has also increased. Many dogs will like to lick their paws, as if they are very itchy. They lick at first, and then gnaw with their small teeth when they feel itchy. If not stopped and adjusted in time, it will be very serious. It may cause serious skin diseases and damage the dog's paws. If your dog often licks its paws and can't control it, then your dog may have "doggy syndrome".
1. Why does my dog get "dog's gas"
1. The most important cause of "dog's foot syndrome" is moisture between the toes due to walking in water and bathing. , Insufficient wiping between toes after washing feet may be caused by blowing. There is hair between the dog's toes, and it is difficult to get it all out after it is wet. In this case, the dog will easily get athlete's foot, and naturally loves to lick its paws.
2. However, whether a dog can easily get "dog enough gas" also varies from dog to dog. A dog owner introduced this situation: "My two dogs use a towel to wipe the toes between their toes every time after washing their feet. However, one of them has never had this situation, and the other one often gets it." Qi. This may be common for people. Once they have enough Qi, they will often suffer from it and it is not easy to cure. ”
But in general, keeping your dog’s toes dry will greatly reduce the chance of your dog getting “foot energy”. After washing your feet, wipe your feet with a completely dry towel, and wipe again between the toes, between the toes and the flesh pads of the feet with a completely dry part of the towel, so that the towel can absorb as much moisture as possible from the hair. Walk.
Of course, if your dog is good enough, use a hair dryer on its little feet, and then blow them until they are completely dry.
2. What to do if you get "dog's syndrome"
If your dog has already had this problem, you need to first check whether the area it licks is red and swollen, and whether it licks the same area frequently. Because sometimes dogs will lick their paws and play because they are bored, so you need to first judge whether it really has "dog's foot". Once you determine that your dog has "dog's foot", you should pay attention to it. The following two points:
1. The most important point is: no matter what medicine is used, do not let the dog eat again Keep licking. It doesn't matter if you put on a pair of socks or wrap it with gauze, as long as it doesn't reach the area where the medicine is applied. Erythromycin eye ointment, chlortetracycline eye ointment, Baiduobang ointment, iodine wine, etc. Several anti-inflammatory drugs used by humans have been tested, and they are basically effective (some friends’ dogs have been cured by Baiduobang ointment).
Dog owners should carefully check whether the red, swollen and itchy parts of the dog are significantly improved on the second day of taking the medicine. Generally, if the medicine is suitable for the symptoms, it will be better the next day. There is a very obvious effect, and it will be better in about a week; if there is no improvement, you need to change to other ointments and try again.
2. Dog’s athlete’s foot is easy to relapse, so after it has been cured once, you have to pay attention to the dog’s feet. For example, you need to trim and clean the hair between the dog’s toes. Always wipe or blow your feet after washing them. If you see signs of licking your feet, check its feet immediately to see if you need to apply medicine.
Don't underestimate this small flaw, ifIf you are not careful, the dog will keep licking and chewing that part, which can cause serious redness, swelling, peeling, and decay. By then, it will be no longer a problem that a few tubes of small ointments can solve.
3. Dogs should have their paws trimmed regularly
There is a more important issue that needs to be reminded: the hair on the dog's paws needs to be trimmed regularly. If you never cut your toes, the hair between your toes will grow very long. Not only will it be difficult to wipe when you wipe your feet, but it will also easily produce hair balls that will be squeezed in the center of your toes, causing local moisture and warmth. Helps the growth of bacteria.
The master should pay attention to the time when cutting. Use one hand to pick up a strand of long hair and confirm the root of the hair. Before you cut off the scissors, be sure not to cut too hard and damage the skin of the baby.
In short, dog owners generally need to pay more attention to not letting their dogs’ feet become too long. Moisturize, and try to blow as much as possible once there is water.
This way your dog will not easily get angry.
Natural dogs don’t lick their paws all the time.
