Dogs should avoid being frightened when eating

Esophageal Blockage refers to a problem caused by the blockage of food or other foreign objects in the esophagus. It is a situation that is more likely to occur in the daily life of dogs. Because the dog itself eats relatively quickly, once it is stimulated or affected, it may continue to increase its eating speed. Therefore, it is best to arrange a relatively quiet place to feed the dog.

1. Rare causes of esophageal blockage in dogs

1. Often eating out of order or feeding too little makes the dog overly hungry, eating too fast, swallowing large mouthfuls of food without fully chewing it, or being disturbed while eating, suddenly raising its head to swallow, etc.

2. Because of being naughty and naughty, I mistakenly swallowed gloves, wooden blocks and other foreign objects that were difficult to digest.

3. Instead of feeding dog food, it is preferable to feed small bones such as chicken bones and fish bones, which may get stuck in the dog's throat.

4. Esophageal blockage can occur in all parts of the esophagus, but it is most likely to occur at the chest entrance of the esophagus, at the bottom of the heart, and where it joins the esophageal hiatus.

2. Symptoms of esophageal obstruction in dogs

1. When the esophagus is not completely blocked, the disease suddenly occurs. The sick dog will show mild restlessness, vomiting and choking, eat slowly, refuse to eat large pieces of food (meat, bones), have difficulty swallowing, and will show pain. .

2. When completely blocked or blocked by sharp foreign objects, the dog suddenly refuses to eat, is highly restless, has a straight head and neck, drools a lot, and may be choking. Vomiting, spitting out foamy mucus and blood, often scratching the neck with the hind limbs, or coughing, or even obstruction. Generally, dogs at this time are unwilling to eat, whether it is water or food. This situation requiresSend to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Do not feed soft bones

Based on the dog’s medical history and sudden onset of special symptoms, combined with gastric tube exploration Diagnosis can be made by diagnosing the blocked area, etc. X-ray fluoroscopy can determine the exact location.

1. Feeding must be done on time and quantitatively. Do not over-hungry to avoid uneven feeding. It is best to choose a safer location. Come and feed the dogs to avoid human disturbance.

2. Always pay more attention to the dog's intentions, and try to put some foreign objects that are easy to swallow out of the dog's reach. You can also often do some exercises to let your dog pick up things.

3. Do not feed bones of chickens, ducks, fish and other animals to dogs. These bones are relatively soft and small, and are easy to be swallowed. Get stuck in the dog's throat. If you want to feed bones, you may want to choose large leg bones from cows, sheep, and pigs for dogs to chew on and grind their teeth specifically.

4. Mild obstruction often recovers after repeated choking or spasmodic swallowing, when the obstruction is spit out or inserted into the stomach from the front.

5. Generally need to be adjusted. You can first take liquid paraffin or vegetable oil, and then inject pilocarpine nitrate (pilocarpine nitrate) subcutaneously. After a few hours, you can be cured.

6. You can also use a thin gastric tube to carefully push the foreign body into the stomach after taking liquid paraffin.

7. If it gets stuck in a relatively close position later, we can try to take it out ourselves. However, if the seat is deep and the jam is relatively severe, then it needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment. It is often necessary to anesthetize the dog before removing it.
