DOGS TUBE
We postpone the seasonal turning point to the autumn months, which means winter is just a distance. With the arrival of winter, diseases such as snuff, flu and cold are usually brought to humans. However, winter is especially difficult for pets because they often spend any fixed time outdoors. How can the owner effectively protect the pet from the harsh weather without compromising normal behavior, such as normal walking and outdoor independence?
Few people realize this, but the impact of pets in winter is the same as on humans. Fur can only do a lot of things. In the cold winter, preventive measures must be taken to protect the health and well-being of your best friends. To avoid veterinary travel, the following are some of the measures and precautions that responsible pet owners should take to ensure health at low temperatures.
Age
In cold weather, the age and frequency of a pet are decisive determinants. Especially young cats and dogs should not be placed outdoors for long periods of time. Moreover, older pets are equally vulnerable in the cold. Young and old pets do not have the required body fat, metabolic rate, and fur, and are not properly protected at low temperatures. They should be locked up for their own benefit.
Clothing
Pet clothing is very cute, right? Is a puppy wrapped in a Bill Cosby mini sweater? Awww. However, I am responsible for this. Although clothing is a popular method of warming pets at low temperatures, it can be counterproductive if not used properly. If a piece of clothing gets wet, take off it. Wet clothes are counterproductive for both animals and humans. Moreover, pet clothing does not make it easier for older or younger pets to weather the weather. Pet clothing is suitable for healthy outdoor age pets and is not suitable for clothing that replaces fur or insulator fat.
Predictability
In addition to catching a cold, pet owners should also pay attention to other seasonal behaviors. Always know where your pets are and what they are doing. Under the car, it is a good place for cats to hide in the cold season. The lack of frost and the warmth above are the most attractive. Always check under the car and maybe even honk a few times to scare away any hidden animals. In addition, the spilled antifreeze should be removed immediately. Sticky sweetness can induce animals that may be severely poisoned by trying to eat. If your pet is taking antifreeze or any similar chemical, veterinary treatment should be taken immediately. Bring your pet to the nearest animal hospital; the lethal dose doesn't need to be too much.
Treatment
This gives us treatment. If your pet has a negative reaction to a cold (muscle stiffness, loss of appetite, trembling, lethargy), there are some quick steps you can take. Bring the pets into a warm room and wrap them in a dry warm blanket or towel. Wrap the warm water bottle in a towel and place it on the abdomen, then call the vet immediately. The veterinarian can best tell you what to do next and whether you should venture to the veterinary clinic.
Sympathy
Most importantly, be compassionate about your pet. The best rule of thumb is that if the weather is too cold for you, prolonged exposure to pets is too cold for you. Give them a safe place in a house, hallway or well-insulated garage to retreat at extreme temperatures, and pets should stay healthy and have no accidents during the cold.
