In daily life, more and more people are raising pet dogs, and healthy and high-quality dogs should have a well-proportioned figure and appropriate proportions. If the dog always has a swelling belly, it means that the dog must have something wrong with the body. If it is not treated in time, the dog will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, if we find that the dog has a swelling belly, we must find out the cause in time and treat it in time!
1. Eat too much
Sometimes dogs have a very big stomach, which may be because they simply eat too much, but it is usually common to puppies. This is like a child, which is more greedy. The puppies eat no light or heavy food. If they eat too much, they will naturally stretch their belly. In this case, if the dog just has a swelling abdomen, no gastrointestinal discomfort, no vomiting or diarrhea, you can ignore it and no medication. Just pay attention to help the dog develop good eating habits in the future.
2. Obesity problem
If the dog is too obese because he exercises more and eats too much, his stomach will be bulging. We should pay attention, because obesity in the dog may still cause many complications, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, etc. Even excessive obesity will also lead to restrictions and impacts in the daily movements of the dog. In this way, the owner must pay attention to formulating a scientific weight loss plan for the dog to ensure comprehensive and balanced nutrition, and at the same time, it is accompanied by quantitative and timely exercise to help the dog lose weight first.
3. Abdominal fluid
In addition to the above two situations, abdomen bloating may also be caused by diseases, such as abdominal fluid, abdominal distension, etc., which will cause us to feel larger when we see the dog's belly in daily life. In this case, the dog will feel more uncomfortable. Therefore, if you find that the dog has this abnormality, it is best to take it to the hospital for a check-up and determine the cause of the disease. In this way, we can use medicine for the dog reasonably and have a healthy body as soon as possible.
4. Parasites
Because dogs like to go out to have fun on the grass, and in the grass or jungle, dogs are more likely to be infected with parasites. In addition, dogs always like to eat randomly, which also makes the parasites at risk of living. If a dog is infected with parasites, it will also cause abdominal swelling. Therefore, when the dog is three months old, the dog should be injected with the first deworming vaccine. After the dog becomes an adult, the dog should be injected with the deworming vaccine every three months. Otherwise, if you don’t do a good job of deworming, in addition to swelling your abdomen, the dog may also experience loss of appetite and lose weight.
5. Pregnancy
If the dog is pregnant, it will naturally have a swelling of the abdomen. Therefore, parents should also review whether the dog has mated with a male dog during the estrus. If it is confirmed that the dog is indeed pregnant, it should give the dog a good living environment, a nutritious diet, necessary care, etc., and then check regularly to see if there is any abnormality in the dog's body and wait for the birth of the puppy.
The above are several reasons why the editor briefly summarizes that may cause abdomen swelling in dogs. I hope it can be helpful to parents of pet dogs. Belly swelling in general is not a particularly big deal, but if the abdominal swelling is really caused by a disease, if it is not treated in time, it will also be a great torture for the dog.
