Dehydration in dogs

Knock Knock Knock !!!

Be careful your dogs can get Knocked out. 

If they don't get enough water, dehydration in dogs can lead to kidney failure and even death in extreme case. Since dogs cannot tell you, they can show signs of dehydration.

Excessive panting

Lethargy

Sunken, dull eyes

Dry nose

Dry mouth

Thick saliva

Vomiting

Diarrhea

Wobbly feet

Loss of appetite

Rapid heartbeat

Dehydration in dogs can also caused by vomiting, diarrhea, liver disease, kidney disease, fever, not eating or drinking enough and hormonal conditions like Diabetes mellitus.

As there are so many possible underlying conditions, the right/accurate diagnostic is especially important.

If you see your dog has any signs of dehydration, offer them a small amount of water and take a visit to the vet immediately.

Moderate to severe dehydration is treated by fluid therapy, either subcutaneously or intravenously. This is done carefully under the supervision of a vet, because if you rehydrate a dog too quickly, it can cause additional health problems.

Dear Pet Owners, always make sure your pets have fresh and clean water inside the house and bring a bottle of water for your canine friends when going outside.
