Three potential diseases caused by periodontitis in dogs
We all know that dogs have various diseases like humans, but our parents need to observe carefully to know the disease of dogs. Therefore, we must take the health of dogs seriously. Don’t cause the death of dogs due to our negligence. In life, we also see that some friends cannot even eat due to periodontitis. In fact, if a dog suffers from periodontitis, it cannot be ignored, because if a dog suffers from periodontitis, it may cause three fatal diseases. Let’s learn about the harm caused by periodontitis to dogs.
1. Thrombosis: A condition in which blood clots and blood clots appear in the blood vessels, causing blood vessel obstruction. It is one of the causes of sudden death of dogs. The mortality rate is extremely high and very terrible! Thrombosis can damage tissues that receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood vessels. The continued development of thrombosis will also cause necrosis of the heart and brain tissues, and will also cause breathing difficulties, tremors throughout the body, and inability to stand.
2. Disintegration of heart function: hinders the normal operation of the heart and body, and it will slowly cause diseases such as cardiac deficit after several years. This often occurs in older dogs who are prone to calcification.
3. Disintegration of renal function: It hinders the normal operation of the kidneys and the body, and will gradually cause diseases such as hypofunction of the kidneys over several years. This often occurs in older dogs who are prone to calcification.
Because the roots of the dog are located near the nose and eyes, once they become purulent, it may cause pus to flow from the nose and eyes, and may even cause wounds like scratches under the eyes. Once such a situation occurs, the bacteria that cause periodontal disease may enter the organs in the dog's body with the blood, causing diseases throughout the body, and even causing death.
Pets are like their own children. If you love them, you must start with oral care! Make sure to brush your teeth regularly 2-3 times a week, try to feed only dog or cat food, and give them more teeth cleaning sticks to clean your mouth while grinding your teeth.
