Dog Health Queries: Dog Hair Loss, Skipping Injections, & Dog Seizures
Have you got specific dog health questions that you find it hard to get answers for? Have a look below at some common inquiries which dog and puppy lovers like yourself write to us about.
Is Your Dog Losing His Hair?
Dog health queries come from all over the world about the family dog losing his or her hair, both in young pets and also the aging canine. Most dogs typically shed twice a year but in some instances the fur falls out in big chunks, quite unlike normal shedding.
The answer to this question comes in three different reasons why your pet may be shedding at an alarming rate; parasites, a dietary deficiency, or hormonal unbalances.
A check-up by the vet is the only credible answer here. Your veterinarian could inform you if your dog has a fatty acid deficiency or perhaps you are overfeeding him protein or carbohydrates. Your dog might also have developed an underactive thyroid or other temporary hormonal imbalances due to recent spaying.
Would you Skip Getting Vaccination Shots If Your Dog Stays Inside your home?
In a recent chat with my neighbor, her knowing that I am a dog enthusiast and specialize in dog health queries, she shared the demoralizing news with me that her beloved Beagle had died from distemper.
The cause of death was established by her vet. She was not only upset, but very surprised to know about this since she stated that her dog was an inside dog literally all its life. "How could she have contracted this illness?" she asked.
Dog health questions like this scare me due to pet owners' ignorance and lack of knowledge to keep their dog's health in good standing. The fact here is that distemper is an acute transmittable ailment caused by an airborne virus. Even though a dog may never venture outside, it is easy for people to catch this health problem up on their clothing and then bring it back home to their dog. Every dog, without exception, should be inoculated against this highly infectious ailment.
