How to tell if your dog is sick? Just look at these five parts

Look at the eyes

Check whether the dog’s eyes are bright, whether there are tears, whether the cornea is opaque, whether there is eye droppings or secretions in the corners of the eyes, etc. A healthy dog ​​has clear eyes, clean eyes, no eye feces, no tears, and pink conjunctiva.

Look at the nose

The changes in the nose are an important indicator of whether the dog is sick or not. The nose of a healthy dog ​​is cool and moist, with a little water droplets. When the dog is dry or has serous, mucosal or purulent secretions in the nasal cavity, it is sick.

Look at the oral cavity

Check whether there are redness, swelling, ulcers and rotten spots in the dog's mouth, whether there is a special smell, whether there is any difficulty in swallowing, etc. The healthy and large mouth is clean, moist, pink, and the tongue is bright red. Color, no bad breath, no bloating. If your mouth is red and swollen, drooling, and accompanied by bad breath, you are sick.

Look at the anus

Check whether the area around the dog’s anus is clean and whether there is any inflammation, redness, swelling or ulcers. The area around the anus of a healthy dog ​​is clean and free of foreign matter. If there is feces or redness and swelling, it is mostly related to digestive tract diseases, infectious diseases or local inflammation.

Look at the skin

Check whether the dog’s hair has fallen off, the elasticity of the skin, and whether there are rashes, blisters, scabs and ulcers on the skin.

If the dog's coat keeps falling off, is rough and dull, has dry skin, lacks elasticity, or has defects such as knots and ulcers, it is a sick dog.
