Todays Tips-Serious Dog health problems
Dog health Problems can run across a whole raft of areas of dog health issues. Let's just look quickly at a few of the more serious dog health problems:
Serious Dog Health Problems:
Canine distemper is a serious dog health problem caused by a highly contagious virus that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems of dogs.
The death rate from canine distemper is unfortunately very high.
The symptoms of canine distemper are not necessarily easily detected. And it is because of this that immediate treatment is rarely given.
Puppies should therefore be vaccinated against distemper at about 9 to 10 weeks of age, and thereafter at 14 weeks and 1 year. Some believe that an additional vaccination at 16 to 18 weeks is also advisable.
Natural Remedis forDistemper are also available, which can help to remove canine distemper from the dog health problems your dog may suffer from.
Another of the more serious dog health problems you may come across is Kennel Cough. Dogs can most easily acquire the disease in animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, local parks, kennels, dog shows, grooming parlors or animal boarding places where it's not difficult to come into contact with infected dogs.
Signs of kennel cough include thick yellow or green nasal discharge, rhinitis and conjunctivitis in some dogs.
As with distemper and other dog health problems for which conventional vaccinations are the favored treatment by many vets, natural alternatives for Kennel Cough prevention and treatment also exist and can be quite effective.
Parvovirus is another of the dog health problems not to be taken lightly. It is a disease with a high rate of mortality, especially among puppies. Vaccination may prove to be the best line of defense against parvovirus.
Homopeathic parvovirus Remedies also exist for prevention, and supervised treatment, of parvovirus.
