What's the matter with red dog's gums?

Causes of red gums in dogs:

1. Oral hygiene

After the dog eats, the food will remain in the teeth, which will become a breeding ground for bacteria to grow in the teeth and mouth. After a large number of bacteria grow, soft scale will form on the surface of the teeth or inside the oral cavity. It first exists in the oral cavity in the form of plaque, and then forms calculus over time. The occurrence of dental calculus can induce gingivitis.

2. Deformed teeth

If the canine teeth are deformed, the incidence of gingivitis will be greatly increased, so the owner of this kind of pet dog should pay more attention to the oral hygiene of the pet dog.

3. Other factors

Endocrine diseases, lack of vitamin C, malnutrition and other systemic diseases can also cause gingivitis in dogs. Endocrine disorders predominate. The main symptom is gingivitis, red, swollen, painful, bleeding gum line. In the process of inflammation, it will slowly destroy the supporting tissue between the gum and the tooth, and form an abscess on the surface of the gum. If it continues to invade, it will develop into periodontitis.

4. Bleeding gums

Bleeding gums are usually the main symptom in dogs with gingivitis. Usually occurs when biting something hard, but can also be spontaneous gum bleeding. The normal color of the gums is pink, but when suffering from gingivitis, the wandering gums and gingival papilla are dark red or dark red, which is caused by the hyperemia and hyperplasia of blood vessels in the gingival connective tissue.

Medicines that can be used for red gums in dogs:

1. If the gums are red, you can feed the dog with antibiotics containing amoxicillin and other ingredients for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory according to the dog's weight.

2. It can be combined with an appropriate amount of pet-specific vitamin B to improve the dog's resistance. During this period, you need to pay special attention to dietary problems, adjust the diet structure, keep the food light, soak the dog food with warm water slightly before feeding, so that the dog can chew easily, and provide the dog with sufficient drinking water. In addition, oral residues need to be cleaned regularly, and the mouth should be rinsed with diluted salt water or mouthwash for pets.

3. When it is extremely serious, it is recommended to go to a professional pet hospital for injection treatment.
