Afghan Hound (definite introduction)
The body shape of dogs can often reflect their mental outlook. If a dog is too fat, it will make people look obese, while if it is too thin, it will make people feel sick. Therefore, a suitable body shape will play a greater role in the appearance of the dog. If a dog is too fat, we can improve it through diet and exercise. But what happens when a dog is too thin and what should we do?
The reasons why dogs are slender:
1. Insufficient food: Because the dog suffers from various or certain diseases, has a loss of appetite or has persistent nausea, or It is a symptom of inflammation in the mouth, which leads to the inability to fully absorb food with nutritional value, which causes the dog to be too thin.
2. Defects in digestion or absorption: diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, etc., leading to diarrhea or constipation; understanding that the digestive enzymes of food are very limited, and nutrients cannot be absorbed, etc., are the causes of excessive food intake in dogs Because of thinness.
3. Obstacles to nutrient utilization: Even if nutrients can be fully absorbed, when liver function is reduced, nutrients cannot be assimilated, which will also cause dogs to be too thin.
4. Hypermetabolism: When viral infections or chronic diseases lead to intense physical exertion, or when pregnant or after giving birth, when many puppies need to be fed, the metabolism in the body will be more hyperactive than usual and consumption will occur. More calories than usual, if not provided with enough nutrients, will also cause the dog to be too thin.
It seems that apart from poor nutrition, the reason why dogs are slender is mostly due to certain problems with their bodies. Therefore, if the dog is still too thin while maintaining adequate nutrition, it is best to take the dog to the hospital for a careful examination and then treatment.
