Guide to common diseases in Dobermann dogs

This article will help some Dobermanners to understand more about them for proper treatment and prevention.

1
Delicate stomach of the Doberman

A common disease that Doberman puppies suffer from is stomach pain and mild diarrhea. This may be due to simple causes such as stress or changes in drinking water. The stomach of the adult Doberman men is equally sensitive, so be careful about their diet.

Changing the diet of both dogs and humans, or overeating, or stress, are the main causes of diarrhea for the Doberman. Symptoms of abdominal pain should be adjusted. If after 1 or 2 days you will not be able to recover, you must take your Doberman to see a vet and examine the stool sample.

You must inspect both the source of the feed and the waste of the dog. Diarrhea is a nuisance, but it will be more troublesome if your dog does not have a bowel movement. Constipation may be due to diet. Maybe due to lack of exercise. In the worse case, it can cause intestinal obstruction. Doberman usually swallows all sorts of miscellaneous things into the abdomen, so if you do not see anything in the backyard within a day or two, it's a good idea to give it to the vet. You should also keep things out that your Doberman can swallow, teach them to just chew on what you give. You can give the chewers interesting notes during training.

Urinary

When breeding Doberman we have to pay attention to urinary problems. The urinary tract is a problem that needs to be addressed. For males, showing indecision or stress during urination may be a sign of urinary tract problems and should be directed to a veterinarian immediately. Male instinct is marking territory. The Doberman "dude" often marks it carefully at each dot scattered around the yard or strange place. Therefore, it must have many places to discharge the bladder. Males will be more likely to store water for use in the event of something to be marked. However, that also allows the bacteria to grow, so it takes a lot of time to empty the bladder.

As for bitches, urinary problems that bitches are most prone to are urinary tract infections, especially during puberty or during menstruation. The most common sign of biting a bitch is fever, urine, and bloody stools. If the bitch is ovulated before the oestrus, it probably will not develop enough urinary tract and result in uncontrolled (urinating).

Doberman's ears

Doberman's ears need to be cleaned and checked regularly. If the ears are trimmed then there is no need to worry anymore. If not, the ear is still as soft as the newborn baby, need careful care to avoid infection. The most common way to prevent infections is to use a cleaning solution to clean the ears. But be careful not to stir too deep into the ear.

Symptoms of an infection include: rash, swelling, fever or stinking. If you find these symptoms, it is important to take the dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible to stop the infection from getting worse, to prevent it from getting worse.

Teeth care

Preventing dental diseases. Dogs can not say it is hurt. In the dog world, expressing pain is a mistake, so they will learn to hide their pain. For oral problems too. Many people think the problem of dog teeth is not very interesting.

It is not enough to give them something to gnaw on or to drink. Doberman needs to be brushed monthly and cleaned every year. Gums and teeth must also be checked regularly. Still the motto of "prevention rather than cure", dental care is as essential as taking care of other parts of the body. Dog teeth do not need much care because they replace the teeth. However, brushing teeth from a young age will help the dog become accustomed to other care later.

Using new dog brushes can be easily brushed around the dog's mouth. One tip is to use a cloth wrapped around the lower jaw when brushing your teeth and vice versa when brushing your teeth. In so doing the dog will not bite the brush. For the removal of plaque, you can use a special shaving device. But be careful because the tool is very sharp. Ask your veterinarian or assistant to brush your dog's teeth and fur for this. They often take painkillers to do this job smoothly.

Fur

Doberman quite a few feathers. However, hair and skin are two parts that clearly show the condition of the dog's health. Bad variety, poor nutrition, lack of vitamins, poor hygiene, and stress are the causes of bad hair. Hair loss, dandruff and acne are signs that the dog is having a health problem. The rare Doberman breeds such as Green Doberman or Isabella have a higher incidence of fur, skin and other diseases than other Doberman breeds.

Hair loss in dogs can occur in two directions, one is the fall of the hair gradually decay, two is the hair loss in each array, if not treated in time can lead to hair loss. The thinning of the hair may be due to the stress of the dog, as is the case with bitches that usually shed hair after birth. Bitches make up the body's nutrients for the baby, so it's like she's "overpriced" her nutrients. But then the hair will grow back thick.

In the case of hair loss in each section, the dog is in poor condition or the body is lacking in resistance, as it may be a condition for the bacteria to grow and eat into the pores. Lack of resistance may be due to stress or lack of certain vitamins or minerals, but with this symptom, vitamin or mineral deficiency may be abnormally severe.
