We all know that compared to people, the life span of dogs is very short. The owner brought back a newborn dog and left this world after seven or eight years, and to be honest, the accumulated feelings are still very deep. In the face of the current situation of dogs slowly aging, pet owners have to face it. Of course, what is the performance for dogs to get older? Under normal circumstances, after encountering these 4 situations, you should consciously spend a little more time with it to make it happier.
1. Mobility decreases and becomes more and more sluggish.
In fact, it is easy to see that dogs grow old in action. However, the dog is in front of his own eyes every year, and it is difficult for the pet owner to see. If you look closely, the old dog is basically constantly decreasing in flexibility, and even more sluggish in the process of action. At this point, it means that the dog is old, and if it has limited mobility sometimes, you should try to help it as much as possible.
2. Reluctant to go out to exercise, and even a little stupid.
After dogs reach old age, like people, some organs of the body will degenerate. At this point, if you don't pay attention, you will find that it has gradually become reluctant to go out and exercise. Sometimes, in order to make you happier, I will accompany you out to exercise. Of course, it can also be seen that there is some dementia. So, this is some of the typical manifestations of getting older, and you should spend a little more time with it.
3. The amount of diet is greatly reduced, and the appetite will also decrease.
From the perspective of feeding, after the dog gets older, there will be a large decrease in the amount of food eaten at a time. Every time you feed, you'll find that there's a lot left from the last meal. At this time, you should not suspect that the dog has a physical disease. This is due to the decline in appetite after old age, then the amount of diet will be reduced. Therefore, in this regard, you should buy some nutritious food to supplement the dog.
4. Digestive function is constantly degraded, and it will often be constipated.
Every time I cleaned up my bowels and bladders, I found that the old dog's stools were even more viscous. Mainly after reaching a certain age, there has been a substantial decline in digestive function, and the symptoms of constipation will appear at this time. Then, in the feeding process, try to be light, so as to alleviate the phenomenon of constipation.
Conclusion: Although, when the dog is old, these common situations will occur. But more importantly, for the owner, you are reluctant to go to the dog, and the dog is reluctant to leave you one day. After all, you are all about it. Therefore, after it is old, it is often more sad than you in its heart, and it really does not want to leave you like this.
