Tips on raising dogs: How to solve a dog’s gastrointestinal problem?
Dog owners often encounter gastrointestinal problems in dogs, which are mostly caused by imbalance of gastrointestinal flora!
1. It may be an imbalance of the dog's gastrointestinal flora
The imbalance of the flora in the dog's gastrointestinal flora is most likely caused by eating too much meat, or it is not easy to digest.
Usually changes in diet or simply overeating can cause dogs to have diarrhea or loose stools.
In addition, it can also cause abnormal stool in dogs. That is, if a dog takes medicine or injections after being sick, it will also damage the dog's gastrointestinal flora.
2. Determining the gastrointestinal flora imbalance in dogs
Generally, dogs without fever, lethargy, and severe vomiting, but with unshaped stools, too much or too little but slimy stools, may be gastrointestinal flora imbalance.
The more accurate way to judge is of course the examination by a pet doctor. There are many types of bacterial flora in dog stools. Normally, the number of bacterial flora is arranged in an order. When the bacterial flora is imbalanced, the order will also change.
3. Methods to treat gastrointestinal flora imbalance in dogs:
1. Probiotic granules, which can be purchased directly in the store. If you think your dog may have dysbiosis, you can buy it and try it. This does not harm your dog’s health.
2. Yogurt: Giving it a small amount of yogurt to drink can also adjust the dog's gastrointestinal flora.
3. Montmorillonite Powder: This can be used to stop diarrhea when the dog is severely strained, but it should be noted that it is a drug after all and cannot be taken when the dog is not strained, otherwise it will cause constipation.
4. Lactobacillus tablets: This tablet can be given when digestion is poor to aid digestion and clear the stomach.
4. Note:
Do not take it lightly when your dog has a poop problem. Many major diseases will cause loose stools or abnormal stools, such as parvovirus, which is very fatal to dogs. One of the most important characteristics is loose stools or even bloody stools.
Common bacterial flora imbalance generally does not cause bloody stools in dogs, and has no particular impact on the dog’s appetite and mental state. Therefore, if the dog develops symptoms such as wilting, fever and severe vomiting, the dog must be taken to the hospital immediately.
