As dogs get older, their human body will undoubtedly deteriorate: mentally depressed, physically weak, and reaction ability will decrease, and sometimes more serious problems will continue to occur. Some dogs are becoming less and less passionate about small toys, mobile games and ingredients. It is very likely that the dog will not find its direction, and may even defecate or defecate in the house. This sign may not necessarily be aging, but may also be a condition of various health problems.
1Rheumatism
Like humans, many dogs will get rheumatism as they get older. The most common rheumatism in brittle dogs is degenerative osteoarticular disorders, which can harm the heavy-loaded bones and joints (butt, knee, elbow, shoulder), causing damage to cartilage tissue and abnormal growth and development of human bones. This bone and joint transformation causes discomfort and even very painful when the dog moves. Osteoarthritis is asymptotic and will change with changes in time.
2Chronic kidney disease
Aging is harmful to kidney function. It is very common for elderly dogs to suffer from chronic kidney disease. Diabetic nephropathy generally starts from renal decline, and develops to complete renal failure. There is no way to cure this type of disease, but the faster the nephritis is detected, the more it can alleviate the development trend of the disease. Early renal function disease will be detected in basic blood tests, so it is very important for old dogs to check their bodies every year. Symptoms of kidney disease include frequent dry mouth and increased urination, poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, and always wanting to sleep.
3 Hearing decline
It is common for dogs with very old age to slowly lose their hearing. Many owners regard hearing loss as Alzheimer's disease. Dogs may have a slower expression after hearing their owner's words, but in fact they do not listen clearly. Since dogs' English listening degeneration does not occur overnight, they will quickly integrate into it. Try to train specific practices of deaf dogs, such as using hand poses, and you can find that hearing loss is basically not likely to harm the dog's daily life.
4Dog eyesight loses
Like English listening decline, many older dogs will gradually become blind. This is usually caused by degeneration of the eyes, but it may also be caused by eye diseases such as cataracts. If blindness is just because of the decline of older physical functions, then there is no way to distort it. Little do you know that dogs do not rely too much on eyesight. If you are outdoors, you need to hold it at any time and get lost as much as possible. It can also be replaced with verbal orders during training.
5Dogs Alzheimer's disease
As with the increase of age, people have similar changes in Alzheimer's disease. The reaction rate, memory ability and concentration will gradually degrade. But because this type of degradation goes from shallow to deep, many owners may sometimes not be able to detect it. It was not until the dog suffered from Alzheimer's disease that some owners felt why our dogs became more and more weird, with unstable emotions, slow thinking, disobeying orders, and stoking them everywhere.
6Cancer Disease
In some cases, cancer will give people the impression that "we must fight against the illness for a long time and will eventually die miserably." But unlike humans, dogs’ cancer prevention treatment is not so painful (adverse reactions are secondary infections with low leukocytes and high complications). In addition, when tumor cells have long been migrated throughout the body and cannot be treated surgically, pain in dogs can be relieved according to analgesics. Dog owners have different ideas. They all want to survive just by having a glimmer of hope.
7Malignant tumors
Dogs with very old age are very prone to lumps. This should be checked by a pet doctor to see if it is a tumor. Most lumps, lumps and growth are unavoidable. Scientific research on breeding to ensure that dogs maintain a healthy diet and a happy life. Help your dog comb your hair on time, pay attention to the lumps on the dog's body, and be able to take a photo and observe. If the dog's lumps increase significantly after two comparisons, take the dog to see a pet doctor.
8The transformation of the body organs, muscles and nervous system in dogs when they are old will make it more difficult for dogs to manipulate. Fecal incontinence can be a sign of many different conditions, so it is important for pet doctors to remove some conditions. If you don’t notice any other health problems, you must come out to defecate more often.
9Obacteria
Dogs are too obese at all ages, but getting older causes the elderly to gain weight higher. Obesity can cause health problems such as rheumatism, heart disease and diabetes, or complicate them. In order to better avoid obesity in dogs, you must insist on exercising.
