Throat breathing in dogs is caused by intense exercise, hot weather, bronchitis, heart disease, etc. If the dog is excessively exercising or is caused by hot weather, it is normal, and the owner does not need to worry too much. If it is abnormal shortness of breath and other discomfort symptoms, such as poor spirits, loss of appetite, etc., the owner needs to take the dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time. With the help of a doctor, the symptomatic treatment can effectively alleviate the dog's shortness of breath.
What are the causes of rapid breathing in dogs?
1. Severe exercise
If the dog is running for a long time, it may speed up the heartbeat and shortness of breathing. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon. After proper rest, the symptoms will be relieved until they disappear.
2. The weather is hot
Because the dog's sweat glands are underdeveloped, if the surrounding ambient temperature is too high, the dog may open its mouth to breathe, and quickly twitch its abdomen. The owner does not have to worry too much. He can relieve the symptoms by taking a bath in warm water, cooling the air conditioner, etc.
3. Bronchitis
may be caused by dog infection with canine distemper virus, influenza virus, etc. These viruses may invade the bronchial, develop inflammatory lesions, and symptoms such as runny nose, fever, and loss of appetite. If the above symptoms occur, the dog should be taken to the pet hospital for treatment in time, and standardized and effective treatment can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively relieve the symptoms.
4. Heart disease
If the dog suffers from a congenital heart and exercises for a long time, it may cause the dog's heart to provide insufficient oxygen supply, causing the lungs to accelerate their circulation, and symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest tightness may occur. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time, and then treat it according to the results of the examination.
