Veterinary Ultrasound for Digestive Conditions in Puppies
Veterinary Ultrasound for Digestive Conditions in Puppies
Digestive disorders in puppies are primarily characterized by diarrhea and vomiting. Simple diarrhea and vomiting are related to food and environmental stress, therefore, after 1 month of age, puppies should be taught to take puppy food, so that they have a good adaptation process before weaning, and before weaning, veterinary ultrasound should be used to check the condition of their digestive system; virus-induced diarrhea in puppies is mainly coronavirus and microvirus, and the mortality rate of microvirus infection in pups between 5-12 weeks of age is very high, and in addition, antiviral drugs, high immune serums and immunity enhancers can be used. antivirals, high immunity serums and immune enhancers can also be used. When diarrhea is present, it is important to use veterinary ultrasound to examine the intestinal organs.
Puppy growth and development at different ages have their own morphological structure and physiological characteristics, the main physiological characteristics are: vigorous metabolism, rapid growth and development of the body, the need for nutrition in the quality of the more stringent, the response to nutritional deficiencies is also extremely sensitive; the cerebral cortex is underdeveloped, the organs and tissues of the neuromodulation mechanism appears later, the body’s respoiveness to the external environment and adaptability of the poorer, veterinary ultrasound Observation of the condition of its tissues and organs is very important; body resistance is weak, lack of innate immunity, suckling colostrum to obtain maternal antibodies, their number is not low resistance is low, the resistance of young animals mainly depends on the degree of perfection of the body’s physiological functions and feeding and management conditions, the responsiveness of the animal body is formed in the early embryonic period, the level of response after birth depends on genetic, feeding, management and many other Factors, low reactivity of puppies in the first month after birth, its defense adaptability is also low, the reason is that the structure and function of immune, nervous and endocrine systems have not yet been developed, after birth, the use of veterinary ultrasound to frequently check these organs is also a necessary work, to ensure that the puppies suckle the colostrum in time after birth, and to give a good feeding and care is the key to the puppy’s body to obtain a high degree of resistance as soon as possible.
