Exhaustion in dogs

Every one of us is exhausted again and again, but what if the exhaustion becomes a constant companion and creeps in more and more often in our daily lives? Did you know that this problem can also affect our beloved quadrupeds? Like humans, dogs can suffer from exhaustion and consequently from heart disease - not without reason, on average, every tenth dog is diagnosed with heart disease. In older dogs, it is usually a common belief that longer walks for your beloved four-legged friend are more stressful than in younger years. In general, exhaustion in your beloved quadrupeds can have various causes. Stupidly we can not exchange with them, however, they can tell us by any sign when they are burnt out and exhausted. However, pay attention to the following signs if you notice changes in the behavior of your dog:

Softly done. Arriving at the park, you throw his favorite ball in the meadow several times, after feeling felt for the twentieth time, you notice that your dog is slowly getting tired. He is exhausted - how should it be otherwise. However, the situation looks very different when you are on your way to the park and you notice that your beloved four-legged friend is already starting to crochet at the beginning of your walk…

• Your dog may become slower and slower, unable to keep up with your pace and tending to run behind your leg or even stay far behind you.
• As soon as you slow down, your dog lays down or runs a little ahead, then lies down and crouches until his lord has locked up.
• Your dog chuckles more often and his tongue hangs far out of his mouth
• After a walk or a bike ride, your dog then comes to rest very hard makes a nervous or stressed appearance

If you notice the above things increase, it is very important not to wait too long with the vet visit, because if you miss the moment in which you can relieve the exhaustion symptoms with relaxation and breaks, it can quickly become dangerous for your dog .

Heart disease in dogs usually creeps up

Heart disease is either congenital or acquired in the dog. The danger of heart disease is that the symptoms are usually so subtle and unspecific that in most cases they remain unrecognized for a long time. In certain diseases, the heart can compensate well for its reduced performance until it finally leads to fatigue. If the heart is overloaded, increased visible symptoms may occur, such as decreased performance, coughing or faster breathing. In more severe cases, there may even be seizures or shortness of breath. Depending on the type of heart disease, there are other symptoms. Most heart problems in dogs were considered acquired heart disease. Acquired heart diseases include, for example:

• Mitralendocardiosis: This is an irreversible disease of the connective tissue of the mitral valve
• Dilatative Cardiomyopathy (DCM): It mainly affects the left ventricle of the heart and results in a malignant enlargement of the heart muscle.
• The pericardial casting is a fluid accumulation in the pericardium
• Cardiac neoplasia is the medical term for benign or malignant tumors of the heart
• Cyanosis is usually manifested by the bluish discoloration of the mucous membranes in the mouth or tongue
• Heart noise and weak pulse
• In case of edema, there is an accumulation of fluid in the lungs or abdomen
