Check this list of some of the common health problems in dogs. In case you notice symptoms for these health problems, bring your dog to a Mount Pleasant Vet Center.
Ear infections- A common canine problem which can be caused due to allergies, ear mites, bacterial infections or yeast. Note for symptoms such as head shaking or constant tilting, ear odor, lack of balance, unusual eye movements and redness of the ear canal, vigorous scratching, swelling of the ear, brown, yellow or blood discharge.
Worms- Internal parasites such as tapeworms and roundworms can affect digestion of a dog. Symptoms like weight loss, a change in appetite, a rough and dry coat, scooting on the bottom, poor appearance and diarrhea may require urgent medical attention from your veterinary doctor.
Fleas- Fleas can turn into an infestation. Scratching, hair loss, skin allergies, flea dirt or small black dots, hot spots are classic signs of fleas. Ask the vet about flea medications that you can use for your dog and how it can be prevented in the first place.
Dental Problems- Without constant and routine checkups with vet, your dog can have dental problems. Bad odor from mouth, change in appetite, problems with gums and teeth and pain in the mouth or stomach are some of the classic signs of dog dental problems.
