Whether it is adults or children, it is a good habit to have a regular physical examination and help us stay healthy. The furry children at home also need a physical examination. Because children cannot communicate in words and cannot express accurately when they are uncomfortable, they are often not easily discovered by their owners, especially some pets have strong pain tolerance, even several times that of humans.

When the owner discovers, most of the situation becomes more serious. In addition to taking the hairy child to a pet hospital or clinic for regular examinations, the owner should pay more attention to the hairy child's physical condition in his daily life, and it is necessary to do some simple physical examinations at home.

The following are some suggestions from Kag: How do the owner do a simple physical examination for the pet?  

1. Basic physical examination

Weight

If possible or necessary, the owner holds the pet and weighs it once, and then weighs it alone. The weight difference between the two times is the weight of the child, so the weighing is more accurate. If the hairy child has reached the standard weight range, it is best to maintain relatively stable weight. If the weight changes significantly, such as sudden gains or loss of weight, the owner should be wary of whether the hairy child is sick.

Eyes

Bright and vibrant eyes are a sign of health. If you find that there are still some secretions in the corners of your eyes, your eyes are dull, and you often scratch your eyes or blink your eyes, it is likely that there is an eye problem.

Tooth

A pair of white and shiny teeth not only makes the hairy child look beautiful, but also is a sign of health. The owner should check the cleanliness of the child's mouth frequently. If you find that the teeth are covered with dirt and food debris and emit a odor, you should brush your teeth in time. If there is tartar or tooth decay, you should take it to your doctor.

Ear

If the hairy child's ears are cleaner, there is almost no secretion, no redness or swelling, and the ear canal is light pink and no odor, it can be judged that its ears are healthy. If it often shakes its head, scratches its ears, and there is a odor in its ears, it may be caused by scabies or otitis media, so it should be treated in time.

2. Appearance and behavior

The brightness of the fur

If the hairy child is found to have dull, rough and dander, hair loss, dry skin, rash spots or patches, you should consult a doctor for treatment as soon as possible.

General behavioral posture

Ignore the master: A naughty and lively child becomes unwilling to move, is lazy in his actions, is slow to respond to external stimuli, has a weak expression, and is even sleepy. He may be sick and needs to consult a doctor in time.
