2. What to do when the dog twitches
What to do:
1. When the dog twitches, parents should avoid touching the dog's body and wait for the dog to calm down.
2. Organize the surrounding items to prevent the dog from hitting furniture and sharp objects during spasms and causing injury.
3. When the dog stops convulsing, immediately remove items from the dog, such as unfastening the collar, undressing, etc.
4. After the dog is calm, immediately take the dog to a regular pet hospital for a detailed examination.
