Poop can reflect the health status of the dog, and pets should pay more attention to it. A healthy dog's poop should be moderately soft and hard, so when a pet owner finds that the dog has soft stool, diarrhea, and hard stools, it means that the dog's body has certain problems at this moment. Analyze the causes of soft stool and take appropriate measures in a timely manner to help the dog recover.
The reason for soft stool
The transition period for grain exchange. It is recommended to use one of the dog foods regularly. If you want to replace them, you need to replace them gradually according to a certain proportion. If the dog has no adverse reactions after eating the new dog food for a period of time, you can replace it with brand new dog food. If meat is added suddenly to the pet's daily diet, it will also cause the dog's intestinal structure to adjust and cause soft stools.
Entryitis, indigestion and other digestive diseases. Irregular daily diet, high irritating and spoiled foods, etc. can cause enteritis in dogs. When enteritis occurs, dogs mainly manifest themselves as soft stools, stinky stools and bloody stools, vomiting, fever, etc. If the owner finds this situation, he needs to take the dog to the pet hospital in time.
Dogs eat a lot but do not exercise frequently. In addition, insufficient digestive enzymes can easily lead to indigestion. Indigestion dogs will vomit and stool, and in severe cases, they will also experience diarrhea.
There are parasites in the body. When a dog has parasites, the dog will feel weak, its body will gradually lose weight, and its stool will be bloodshot or even white bugs. At this time, you have to take the dog to do internal driving.
Diet improvement
For the above three conditions, enteritis and parasites require professional veterinarians to treat and deworm. However, when dogs change their food, soft stools or indigestion occurs during food exchange, they can be improved through diet.
The reason why the stools are soft for a short time and even severe diarrhea after changing meat is that the two may be similar in nature - they are all the results of the structural adjustment of intestinal bacteria. However, some adjustments went smoothly, while others bumped into each other, resulting in different reaction levels.
The cells in the entire intestine add up, bacteria account for more than 95% of them, which is the intestinal bacteria. We found that eating dog food, canned food, and cooked meat will produce different intestinal bacteria, and in this process, it will cause diarrhea.
The key to improving soft stool lies in the diversity of bacteria. For example, the intestine is a house, the intestinal bacteria are columns, and the diversity of bacteria is the number of columns. Changing diets will often lead to the replacement of some "pillars". Naturally, the more columns there are, the less likely it is to collapse the house when changing the columns. Suitable pet diet ratios and exercise can increase the diversity of intestinal flora.
Do not blindly use probiotics. Facing intestinal bacteria disorders, it is a bit of gambling to use bacterial probiotics. At present, there are no reliable probiotics for pets, all of which are sold as pets by humans. This creates a problem. It is difficult for pet owners to judge whether the probiotic you give is suitable for diarrhea. After all, these probiotics are designed for people, and sometimes they will aggravate the disorder.
Summary
Scheduled and quantitative feeding, scientific diet. Although there is no need to make a fuss about soft stool, pet owners should also pay attention to it carefully to avoid diarrhea. For pets with less severe diarrhea, food should be cut off appropriately for 6 to 10 hours, and a small amount of water should be given multiple times during this period.
