Golden Retriever (certain introduction)
Like people, dogs are very weak when they are sick, and their diet is particularly important when they are sick. The food prepared for sick dogs needs to be easy to digest, nutritious and extremely delicious, so what exactly should be done?
In order to supplement protein, it is best to use animal protein feed, try to reduce the crude fiber content in the food, and supplement adequate amounts of vitamins and inorganic salts. Eat smaller meals more often; reduce crude fiber, lactose, plant protein and animal connective tissue (such as ligaments, tendons, etc.) in food; reduce cooked eggs, lean meat and other foods that are easy to digest and have high nutritional value.
For sick dogs with fever, the metabolic level generally decreases by 10% for every 1°C increase in body temperature, which means that the consumption of nutrients in the body is higher than that of ordinary dogs. In infectious diseases, the synthesis of immunoglobulins and the metabolism of the immune system are enhanced. In order to meet the needs of this synthesis, there must be sufficient supply of proteins and nutrients.
If some diseases (especially those accompanied by elevated body temperature) can cause salivary penetration to decrease or stop, drying the mouth and causing difficulty in tasting and swallowing food, liquid or semi-liquid food should be given, and at the same time Provide plenty of drinking water. If you suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, especially those accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, a large amount of water will be lost along with the permeate. If there is no immediate compensation, it will lead to dehydration of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement enough water for such sick dogs. For sick dogs with vomiting and diarrhea, B vitamins should be supplemented in the food.
