5 Common Health Problems in Dogs
Some health issues are specific to certain breeds of dogs, such as respiratory issues in brachycephalic dogs. However, other dental health issues may affect any dog. Here are 5 typical health conditions you need to watch for in your four-legged friends:
1. Skin Problems
One of the most obvious signs that your dog has a skin condition is itching. Other symptoms that may indicate skin problems in your dog include eczema, redness, dryness, papules, keratosis pilaris, skin ulcers, dandruff, and hair loss.
2. Ear Infections
Around 20% of dogs suffer from ear infections. This is especially common in dog breeds with drooping ears, such as Cocker Spaniels and Basset Hounds. People may typically find accumulated earwax or pus in their ear canals. But others may experience pain, itching, redness, swelling, and flakiness.
3. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
This condition, also known as UTI, can make your four-legged friend feel uncomfortable while urinating. Symptoms of a urinary tract infection include drinking more water than usual and urinating more frequently. Your dog may also only pass a small amount of stool or lose bladder control. Additionally, you may see blood in their urine or smell a strong odor.
4. Vomiting
There are many reasons why your pet may vomit. You don't need to see a vet every time your dog vomits, but it's not something you can ignore either. Don't guess. If vomiting persists or occurs with other symptoms like diarrhea or lethargy, you need to take it to the vet quickly. This could be a sign of serious health problems like poisoning or gastrointestinal blockage.
5. Diarrhea
This symptom can occur on its own or may accompany vomiting. Its potential causes are similar to vomiting. One or two instances of diarrhea may not be an emergency for pets. But repeated diarrhea can lead to dehydration.
