The clinical symptoms and treatment of "dog protein deficiency"
The protein deficiency of dogs is also called "hypoproteinemia". This disease is characterized by the decrease in plasma protein of the dog, reduced colloidal pressure, and systemic edema.
1. The cause of the protein deficiency:
1. Most of the protein deficiency is in succession in other diseases.
2. Insufficient protein intake or absorption disorders, such as narrow esophageal, chronic diarrhea, etc.
3. Excessive protein consumption, such as a large amount of blood loss, severe burns, fever diseases, malignant tumors, malignant diseases, pleurisy, peritonitis, glomerular nephritis, nephropathy syndrome, etc.
4. Protein synthesis disorders are found in liver diseases, such as cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis.
Second, clinical symptoms of canine protein deficiency:
1. The diseased dog is manifested as weight loss, hard -haired, losing weight, stopping development, pale appetite, visual mucosa, and decreased blood pressure. In severe cases, systemic edema, decreased resistance, and prone to secondary infections.
2. The total protein content of adult dogs is 5.3-7.5 grams, and albumin is 3-4.8 grams. If the total plasma is reduced to less than 5 grams and the albumin is reduced to less than 3 grams, it can be considered to be lack of protein.
3. Prevention and control measures for canine protein deficiency:
For this disease, treatment for different causes is the fundamental method for treating the disease.
1. Baing therapy: Give dogs rich in protein and high -calorie foods, such as soy milk, milk, fish, meat, eggs, etc., which can provide protein by 2 to 3 grams per day. Those with diarrhea should increase slowly to avoid indigestion.
2. For sick dogs with severe edema, salt can be temporarily restricted.
3. According to the condition, amino acid preparations, vitamins, glucose, hydrolyzed protein, etc. can be given appropriately.
