Golden Retriever fever treatment method:
First of all, it is necessary to observe clearly whether the golden retriever has other corresponding symptoms besides fever. If the golden retriever has appetite in addition to fever If you are not well, lack of energy, or even have vomiting and diarrhea, you should send them to the hospital for examination immediately. For puppies, especially those within 6 months, once the golden retriever is found to have a fever, it should be sent to the hospital immediately. If it is an adult dog that has been vaccinated, you can temporarily use aspirin or canine antipyretics to help reduce the fever.
Many pet owners use dry nose as the criterion for judging pet fever. In fact, it is not the correct way to judge only by this. There are many mucous glands on the nose, so it is still possible to produce normal mucus to keep the nose moist. The correct way to correctly judge whether they have a fever is to take their temperature. Generally speaking, the body temperature of a normal Golden Retriever is 38-39 degrees. If it is higher or lower, it means that the body of the Golden Retriever is different.
In contrast to fever, golden retrievers sometimes experience hypothermia, which may be due to malnutrition, massive blood loss, poisoning, shock, severe parasites and the development of many diseases. Fever in golden retrievers may be caused by small problems such as wound infection. However, more often, fever is a signal of serious illness in golden retrievers. Therefore, when the cause of golden retriever fever is not sure, it is very important to ask a veterinarian to check the cause in time. .
Human fever reducers are not recommended for golden retrievers
Fever can occur for many reasons In the treatment, we must remember to prescribe the right medicine. For example, fever caused by inflammation (pneumonia) should be mainly anti-inflammatory, and antipyretics should be assisted appropriately; as symptoms of some serious infectious diseases (canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine infectious hepatitis, etc.), during the treatment process, control Body temperature is an important part of maintenance therapy, but instead of treatment after illness, it is better to prevent it early, and the vaccination will be done once and for all (of course, the vaccine can also guarantee 100% prevention of golden retriever dogs from infectious diseases).
Be careful when choosing antipyretics. Veterinarians generally do not approve of pet owners using human antipyretics, but aspirin is a good antipyretic for golden retrievers. Golden Retrievers can take 18 mg per kg body weight.
For younger puppies, it is recommended to send them directly to the hospital for examination
What kind of harm will the abuse of antipyretics cause to Golden Retrievers:
1. Abuse of antipyretics will cover up symptoms and aggravate the condition.
2. Blind use of antipyretics may disrupt the fever pattern of some diseases, thereby affecting the accuracy of diagnosis.
3. The abuse of antipyretics does not help the treatment of the disease. Such as fever caused by acute and chronic inflammation, the most urgent thing is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and the fever will naturally subside when the inflammation subsides, and antipyretics do not have the effect of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
