dog breathing sound

Reasons why dogs breathe loudly:

1. Upper respiratory tract infection: upper respiratory tract infection in dogs often leads to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, nasal congestion, wheezing and excessive runny nose in the respiratory system, often accompanied by abnormal voice.

2. Tracheitis or bronchitis: These chronic inflammations or other problems such as structural abnormalities, allergies or environmental factors can cause dogs to cough, have difficulty breathing and chest tightness, and produce sounds similar to hoarse breathing.

3. Inhalation of foreign bodies: When a dog accidentally inhales larger particles such as food and pet toys, in addition to relying on its own active cough to expel the danger to itself, it is also prone to coughing and low breathing ease, and some toxins will also Stimulate the local tissue and lung mucous membrane to produce the sound of scratching the inside.

4. Heart problems: When the dog has an enlarged heart or irregular beating, it may also cause abnormal breathing. When the pet is middle-aged or old, due to hardening of the pulmonary blood vessels, blood flow obstruction or anemia, the breathing sound will change from soft to heavy or cough.

5. If the body is injured, carefully check the dog's body. If the dog's body is injured, there will be a sound of breathing due to pain. The owner can carefully check whether there is any damage on the dog's skin surface. However, the dog may also suffer from internal injuries. At this time, the owner can touch the dog's body. When a dog has an internal injury, it is common to resist touching or feel pain when touched.

6. It may be caused by hypoxia after strenuous exercise. The dog has just undergone strenuous exercise, resulting in a very excited state of body and emotion, and there will also be a phenomenon of breathing sound. Especially short-snouted dogs like pugs and bulldogs are born with short nasal passages, and shortness of breath is easy to occur with a little exercise. If the dog does not have other abnormalities, there will be no major problems, and it will be relieved by letting it take a good rest. The owner does not need to worry too much.

How to take care of a dog:

1. If possible, chip the puppy. In some places the veterinarian will place a chip under the puppy's skin. The chip contains the owner's address and contact information. When the chip is installed, the puppy will not feel pain, it will only feel itchy, so don't worry.

2. Let the dog leave the sleeping box. Crates are useful when your dog is sleeping and when you are out of the room, but you should never punish a dog by putting them in a crate. Otherwise, the puppy will not like the box and will not want to go in it again. Be caring for the puppy, let the dog know that you love it. If he yells or pushes hard against the ground, don't force it, take a break and try again later. And if the dog resists by pushing against the ground, don't force it back into the crate.
