The esophageal infarction of dogs is one of the diseases that are more likely to get sick in daily life. It refers to the dog's esophagus being blocked by food clumps or foreign objects. This causes a disease.

1. Causes of esophageal infarction of dogs:

1. Dogs are overly hungry, eat too fast, swallow large mouthfuls of food before they are chewed, or are disturbed during feeding, suddenly raise their heads and swallow.

2. If you accidentally yell gloves, wooden balls and other foreign objects due to play, it will cause the dog's esophageal infarction.

3. There are bone blocks, meat blocks, fish bones and other substances in the feed, and blockage occurs when eating.

4. Esophageal infarction can occur at any part of the esophagus, but it is most likely to occur at the entrance of the thoracic cavity, the base of the heart, and the cracks entering the esophageal duct.

2. Clinical symptoms of esophageal infarction of dogs:

Based on the dog's medical history and sudden special symptoms, combined with gastric tube exploration to discover the obstruction site, etc., it can be confirmed. X-ray fluorescence can determine its specific location.

1. When the esophageal incomplete infarction occurs suddenly, the disease occurs. The sick dog shows mild uneasiness, vomiting and choking movements, slow food, refuses to eat large pieces of food (meat, bones), and shows pain when swallowing.

2. When completely infarcted and blocked by sharp foreign objects, the sick dog suddenly refuses to eat completely, is very uneasy, has a straight head and neck, has a lot of salivation, choking or vomiting, and vomits foamy mucus and blood. He often scratches the neck with limbs, or has a suffocation, or even suffocation.

3. Prevention and treatment measures for dog esophageal infarction:

1. Feeding must be done regularly and regularly, and do not be excessively hungry to avoid uneven fullness and hunger. Dogs should keep quiet when eating to avoid human disturbances. The bones should be fed after other foods are eaten.

2. During training, beware of dogs taking foreign objects by mistake.

3. Avoid mixing foreign bodies and sharp small bones in food. It is best not to feed chicken and duck bones directly to dogs. It is best to give the dog a large piece of pig and cow bones to the whole, and it is best to give it to the dog after it is eaten normally.

4. Mild infarction often heals after multiple choking or spastic swallowing, the obstruction is vomited or enters the stomach on its own.

5. Most of them need to be treated. You can first take liquid paraffin or vegetable oil, and then inject subcutaneously into nitrocarmine (pirocapron nitric acid) and it can be cured after several hours.

6. After the liquid paraffin is applied, the foreign object can be carefully pushed into the stomach with a thin gastric tube.

7. Connect an air pump to the gastric tube to invigorate the gastric tube rhythmically. When the esophagus is dilated, use the gastric tube to slowly push the obstruction into the stomach.

8. Dog owners should send the dog to the pet hospital for examination immediately. Do not delay to prevent other diseases.
