Pug (definite introduction)
For dogs Salt is a very important substance in the body. It is very important to manage the intake of salt reasonably. Too little salt can also cause hair loss in dogs, while too much salt intake can lead to salt poisoning. , the harm caused to the dog will be very great. Therefore, when we feed dogs food, we usually need to pay more attention to the salt content.
Sodium ions and chloride ions are essential mineral elements in animal bodies. Plant-based feeds generally contain less sodium and chlorine. In order to compensate for these two elements and increase the animal's appetite, salt should be supplemented in the diet. However, if you consume too much salt, especially if you don’t drink enough water, it will cause salt poisoning in animals. Salt poisoning has been reported in a variety of animals, but different animals have different sensitivities to salt and exhibit different toxic doses. It is most sensitive to chickens and pigs. Because dogs' kidneys have very good infiltration functions and are not sensitive to salt, clinical reports of canine salt poisoning cases are very rare.
Related typical cases: a sausage dog, male, 2 years old and weighing 7.5 kg. Chief complaint: This dog vomited twice in the past two days. The vomited material was mucus, but his appetite was normal. After eating chicken pickled in salt water yesterday evening, I kept vomiting and had no diarrhea. I lost my appetite in the morning when I became ill and liked to drink water. In January 2004, I received the seven-linked vaccine. Clinical examination: body temperature 35.8°C, pulse 156 beats/min, irregular heart rate, respiration 45 times/min, shallow breathing, cyanosis of oral cavity and eyelid mucosa, and sunken eyeballs. At the same time, there are neurological symptoms such as restlessness and muscle spasms throughout the body.
The amount of salt must be well controlled
< strong>diagnosisTreatment View
According to the main description, it can be seen that the dog eats excessive amounts of salt-containing food, pickled chicken, and has a serious history of body dehydration. For obvious neurological symptoms, initial diagnosis and treatment can be made.
Adjustment
There is currently no specific effect in regulating the original disease. Medications: For early stage and mildly poisoned dogs, natriuretic diuresis, bivalent ion isotonic solution infusion and symptomatic treatment can be used, and purified water can be provided in batches immediately after early detection to reduce the salt concentration in the stomach; Or use 0.1% potassium permanganate aqueous solution to lavage the stomach, or use emetics to induce vomiting. Then take some oil laxative orally to promote the elimination of salt in the gastrointestinal tract and avoid reabsorption. Use diuretics to reduce intracranial pressure and slow down cerebral edema.
Symptomatic treatment
Intramuscular injection of atropine sulfate 5 --10 mg or chlorpromazine hydrochloride 5--15 mg for antispasmodic and analgesic effects. Add 50 to 100 ml of 10% calcium gluconate solution or 10 ml of 10% calcium chloride solution into 150 ml of 10% glucose injection for intravenous infusion, 50 to 60 drops/min.
About factor adjustment
10% glucose injection 100 ml plus 50% glucose injection solution 10--30 ml for intravenous injection, 120--150 drops/min.
100% glucose injection solution 100 ml plus VBl 100--300 mg, VC 0.5-1.5g, VB6 100--300 mg, ATP 5--10 mg, coenzyme A, etc. intravenously, 80 drops/min.
Although salt is very important for the health of dogs, no matter what kind of nutrient it is, excessive amounts will eventually cause adverse reactions. Excessive supplementary salt will not only cause many skin problems for dogs, but in severe cases, it can also cause salt poisoning. Therefore, when feeding dogs, owners must first consider and understand the effects of these foods. It will not cause adverse effects on dogs, and the saltiness of the taste must be well controlled. Otherwise, dogs will eat food with a lighter taste for a long time, and then feed them some bland food.The situation of picky eaters and anorexia occurs, so controlling the amount of salt is very important for the dog's diet and body.
