Blood is an important component in the body that allows animals to live normally. But when dogs and cats have anemia, which means the amount of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the body decreases, it causes less oxygen to be transported to nourish the cells in the body. This affects the functioning of the organs in the body, causing the dog and cat's body to show abnormal symptoms, such as fatigue, easy fatigue, loss of appetite. This anemia can also cause many other diseases. In order to prevent our pets from being harmed to life, let's understand anemia. Normally, red blood cells have the function of transporting oxygen from breathing into cells throughout the body, using "hemoglobin" and carrying waste in the form of carbon dioxide out of the cells to be eliminated from the body.

Taking care of a dog is not easy for many people, right? In addition to taking care of food and the environment, taking care of physical health, especially dental and gum health, is something that many dog owners should not neglect. Because the color and characteristics of the mucous membrane can be used to assess the initial health of the dog. It is said that the color and characteristics of the mucous membrane are considered a good representative for assessing the initial health of the animal because this organ is the most distal tissue that can indicate the state of blood circulation and the amount of oxygen that nourishes the body. Since the mucous membrane is a relatively thin area with a large amount of blood vessels, if there is a change in blood circulation, we will be able to easily observe it, especially the mucous membrane at the gums. There is an easy way to check the health of the teeth and gums of a puppy. The normal color of the gums is pink. The gums should be moist, not dry or swollen. When you press the gums with your finger and release, the gums should change from white from pressing to pink again within 1-2 seconds, which means good blood circulation. If it lasts longer, it indicates abnormal blood circulation, which can be caused by many reasons. What does the color of the gums indicate?

Have you ever noticed your cat losing weight or becoming excessively thin? Do you feel only bones when you touch them, or in very thin cases, they may even be weak? These are relatively common illnesses, and owners need to take their cat to a veterinarian for examination and treatment. The examination process includes: 1. A thorough history and physical examination of the cat. This begins with an examination of the mouth for inflammation of the gums, tongue, and tonsils, as inflammation in the mouth and throat can cause decreased appetite and weight loss. The external pharynx, where the thyroid gland is located, can be palpated for enlargement. A noticeable enlargement can indicate hyperthyroidism or thyroid toxicity. A preliminary palpation of the abdomen may also be performed to check for abnormal masses of size and shape, such as enlarged kidneys, intestines, or lymph nodes. 2. Laboratory tests. These include blood tests to count various blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells), hormone levels (such as thyroid hormones), liver and kidney function tests, and urinalysis to assess kidney function…
