Is it normal for dogs to smell? Wrong, it may be a disease!
Shit shovelers all know that dogs, like humans, have some of their own smell on their bodies, but they can't reach the point of being smelly.
But after raising them, some excrement shovelers gradually became confused, thinking that smelly dogs are also a manifestation of normal body odor.
NO! When you feel that your dog is smelly, you should pay attention, it may be suffering from a disease!
- bad breath
In fact, under normal circumstances, if the dog has residue stuck between the teeth after a meal, the bad breath will last for a short period of time.
However, if the odor persists, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is dental calculus or periodontal disease.
Dogs suffering from periodontal disease will have a large number of bacteria multiply in the mouth, and at the same time release substances containing sulfur, which will cause bad breath.
It needs to be treated in time, otherwise it may cause the teeth to loosen and affect the dog's eating.
- Smelly fur
Dogs with skin diseases and frequent scratching may have ulcerated infection, which may cause the skin to stink.
In addition, if you have already set foot on the pinnacle of life, cats and dogs are complete.
Dogs are also "infected" by cats with the habit of licking their fur, so saliva may accumulate on the dog's hair.
And this saliva roar~ will stick to the dust and bacteria in the air, and thus agglomerate and stink.
If you are a curious baby again, peel off the sticky hair and smell it, you know the smell~
- Gastric
Gastrointestinal diseases such as small intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal disease, etc. will cause gas in dogs, which can easily be regarded as bad breath, but the taste is more complicated and pungent than bad breath.
Of course, the dog's stomach gas is also related to diet.
If it is fed miscellaneously, it may also cause indigestion and odor in the short term.
In the long run, it will affect the health of the gastrointestinal tract.
Mushroom Jun’s tip: If you don’t want your dog to be smelly and unhealthy, don’t feed too much.
- Stinky ears
When getting along with dogs, you should pay attention when you find that dogs start to shake their ears or scratch their ears.
This means that there may be bacterial growth or ear mites in the dog's ears, and often at this time, the dog's ears also have peculiar smell.
In fact, this also means that the dog's deworming or ear cleaning is not done well.
Veterinarians generally recommend cleaning the dog’s ear canal 1-2 times a month, and regularly deworming both internally and externally.
If you are always lazy, the dog will suffer.
- The whole body stinks
If the above problems, the dog does not exist! It is pure stink, the whole body stinks!
It means that it's time for your dog to take a bath, so take your child to take a bath, and see what you have let your child experience.
In addition, there are some shit shovel officers who think the dog's butt stinks.
Mr. Mushroom suggests that you can take a closer look. Is the dog sticking to the butt?
If not, it could be anal gland odor.
If you're a seasoned veteran, you can squeeze it yourself.
If you are not, Mr. Mushroom can only advise you based on the experience of those who have experienced it, take it to the doctor and squeeze it.
