On the danger of heart disease in fur children, I have focused on the danger and causes of the previous article, but in many partners' private letters I said this dog heart disease usually how to observe can determine it? So I will share with you today the basic heart disease-related symptoms of dogs to help owners judge!

If you find your dog walking a few steps will be very panting a situation, then we must consider the owner of the child is not a cardiovascular problem, and common cardiovascular problems are more likely to have like panting or coughing, the owner can check its tongue mucous membrane blood color, is there a more purple performance?

There is also a dog walking will be panting particularly excited, breathing will become as if very rapid but if you look carefully it is not breathing from the normal chest to do breathing action, as if the stomach ups and downs are relatively large, this time the owner should pay special attention to whether it has cardiovascular problems.

Dogs' cardiovascular symptoms!

Generally speaking, if the dog really serious cardiovascular problems, we will see that the fur child will appear the condition of edema of the limbs, or ascites, generally speaking, in the resting state breathing is within 30 breaths (my dog measured 20 breaths a minute), if it is said that the number of breaths very fast 40, 50, 60 times so, it is possible that it Has a cardiovascular problem, which will cause its lungs are not able to normal gas exchange, need to use a lot of rapid breathing to get more oxygen!

There is also the dog if the appetite becomes poor can be taken into account, because some dogs will be because of panting, it will eat when it will cause it to breathe poorly, so it will be resonant is not willing to eat, can also be used to check a better!

Does emotional excitement lead to heart disease?

Many small dogs like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas will bark at strangers, they will feel very emotional, if they already have cardiovascular problems, plus it is overly excited or excited, they will sometimes even have acute shock problems, and you will find suddenly unconscious collapse.

At the moment the dog's heart instantly can not afford, after it calms down the heart to resume beating and can afford its current circulation when it will stand up again, but if such a state is found, I suggest that it is best to send to the hospital promptly for examination because the cardiac shock will likely be the dog fell down and never stood up again.

So relatively speaking, for small dogs and others it heart disease is a relatively high chance for large dogs, so generally, veterinarians will recommend that if the dog is more than 7 years old owners should start to pay attention to its heart valve degeneration problems, there is a small dog and medium and large dogs their heart problems are not the same!

Small dogs like poodles, Chihuahuas, and Pomeranian dogs are more likely to have so-ca

led valvular disease, so we often hear what is similar to a condition of mitral regurgitation.

However, if it is a medium to large dog, they are produced by the heart muscle lesions, presenting the so-called dilated cardiomyopathy, the specific performance of what will have the following chart has details to understand the next.

So it is recommended that the owners take their children to the hospital every year or every six months to do some health checks, the health of dogs is really important, so the owners usually play with their children to observe them more, early detection can be early treatment, but also to extend the life of the children!
