What should you pay attention to when buying a dog? Before buying a thing, you will definitely consider all factors, especially when buying a pet. There are many issues to consider, because the pet you bought will accompany you for a long time. Whether you buy it well or not, it will be related to your relationship with the dog. Today, the editor will give you some tips, hoping to help you buy a healthy dog.
Purchasing dogs is something that many pet lovers have experienced, but how can we buy a healthy and cute baby dog? The most important thing is to achieve the "five views".
A glance at the expression: The mental state is a comprehensive reflection of the functional state of the nervous system and the health status of the dog. A healthy dog should have bright eyes and flexible ears. When someone approaches, he will react quickly and show active approach or avoidance. If your eyes are unconscious and your spirit is depressed, you may suffer from illness.
2 Look at the overall situation: observe whether the dog's movements are flexible, whether the gait is stable, whether the hair is neat and smooth, whether the muscles are plump and symmetrical, whether the limbs are symmetrical and strong, and whether there is any lame phenomenon. If there are obvious scars, scabies, hair loss, and papules (small bumps) on the surface of the body, it means that the dog has or has suffered from skin diseases (scale mite disease, demodex disease, skin fungal diseases, etc.).
Three eyes: The eyes of healthy dogs are bright and energetic, with clean and neat eyelashes, and slightly moist eye circles. Many diseases of dogs are reflected in the eyes. Congestion and flushing of the conjunctiva (medial side of the eyelid) are often signs of infectious diseases and fever diseases. Yellow conjunctiva (beautiful) indicates that the dog's liver may have lesions. Pale conjunctiva in the eye is mostly caused by various reasons. When the corneal (the outermost layer of the eyeball) appears to be turbid and white spots, it may be the middle and late stages of canine distemper, or simple keratitis; if the corneal appears blue and gray, it is likely to suffer from infectious hepatitis (clinically, this phenomenon is also called "hepatitis blue eyes"). If you have too much eye booze, you should pay more attention. Many dogs suffering from canine distemper and infectious hepatitis have this phenomenon.
Four-looking at the nose: The tip of the nose and around the nostrils of a healthy dog should be moist and cool. If the nose is dry, it means that there is inflammation in the upper respiratory tract (mostly caused by infectious diseases or fever diseases). If there is obvious serous, mucous, and purulent nasal discharge from the nostrils, it is manifested by some infectious diseases (influenza, canine distemper, etc.).
Five look at the lower abdomen: People who buy dogs for the first time or who don’t know much about dogs often ignore this. If there are obvious spherical bulges around the navel and on the posterior abdomen of the dog, it is mostly the result of an umbilical hernia and scrotal hernia, which generally require surgery to treat. If you follow the above steps when buying a dog, and add some basic knowledge of your dog, I believe you will be able to buy a lively, cute and satisfying dog
