For those of you who have dogs at home, have you ever seen a dog suddenly twitching? And then it will return to normal after a while? If you have seen it, do you know what caused it? If you don’t know, the editor will tell you the answer!
1. Suffering from epilepsy
Dogs suffering from epilepsy will have convulsions from time to time, and the convulsions will last from a few seconds to dozens of minutes each time. However, it is very dangerous for dogs to convulse for a long time, and dogs are unconscious during convulsions and may accidentally injure themselves. Therefore, when a dog has an epileptic seizure and convulsions, the owner should stay calm and remove obstacles around the dog in time to prevent secondary injuries to the dog. If your dog's epileptic seizure symptoms are severe or last for a long time, it is best to send him to a pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
2. Calcium deficiency
If the dog's daily food is relatively simple, resulting in a lack of calcium in the body, it will affect the growth and development of the dog's bones and muscles, causing the dog to twitch from time to time. At this time, it means that the dog's calcium deficiency is already a little serious. It is recommended to supplement the dog with calcium preparations and vitamin D in time. You can also take the dog out to bask in the sun more often to promote the absorption of calcium.
3. Chronic poisoning
If a dog eats toxic substances, such as onions, chocolate, rat poison, etc., because the dose is not large, it will be slowly absorbed in the body, so it will temporarily convulse and vomit. In this case, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time, otherwise chronic poisoning will cause a little damage to the dog's liver and kidneys. Only when the liver and kidneys have a certain degree of damage can it be detected by the machine.
4. Infection with canine distemper
If the dog's vaccination is not successful, it may be that the dog is infected with the canine distemper virus and causes convulsions, which is usually accompanied by unconscious moaning and drooling. If this is the case, it means that canine distemper has developed to an advanced stage. The success rate of treatment during this period is also relatively low. Only nerve inhibitors can be used to control the convulsions. There is no way to treat it. Therefore, once pet owners find that their dogs have canine distemper, they need to go to the pet hospital for treatment in time. The earlier the treatment, the higher the cure rate.
