The reasons why the dog "rides the pope", a few is a helminthic invasion or inflammation of the mucosa. Long-haired pets suffer from the entanglement of the wool. But there is one more unpleasant reason - the clogging and inflammation of the paranal glands.
Inflammation of paranal glands in dogs
What are paranal glands? They are located on both sides of the anus. The substance they emit is thick and has a very unpleasant odor.
Causes of the disease can be either too thick composition of the substance, or liquid stool, clogging the outlets of the gland canals. The disease is chronic, so visits to the veterinarian should be at least three to four times a year.
A neglected disease can lead to unfortunate consequences. Stagnation of secrets and their accumulation causes an increase in anal sacs and their subsequent rupture. Further inflammatory reaction manifests itself in the form of ulcers, fistulas and even fistula.
One of the symptoms of the disease is "riding on the pope". Other signs are painful defecation, running around behind your tail, showing aggression towards the one who touches the back of the trunk.
Treatment
The owner of the animal can cleanse the glands, but it is advisable to visit the doctor. There were cases when an inflamed purulent bag burst in the hands of the owner. The veterinarian will perform the procedure more competently and without unnecessary risks, otherwise it will provide immediate assistance to your pet.
Glistular invasion in dogs
Consider the symptoms of this disease. The first is a weak mobility and growth of young animals, a swollen abdomen. The whites of the eyes are bluish, the wool is ruffled. With the appetite growing, dogs grow thin, vomiting and diarrhea are observed.
Other signs of helminthic invasion in dogs are constipation caused by coils of helminths that fill the body.
Worms secrete poisons that cause seizures and paresis. Their larvae wander through the body, they can damage the lungs, which leads to their inflammation.
Treatment
Inspection of the general condition of the animal, as well as the presence of parasites should be carried out regularly. So, doctors recommend timely deworming dogs - once every three months, and to achieve the maximum effect of vaccination - 10-14 days before the scheduled vaccination. An important criterion in the choice of the drug is a wide range of action against the main types of helminths.Himalayas pets are dangerous to humans. This must be remembered for all owners of pets. It is important to make contact with the animal safe, therefore, when selecting the anthelmintic preparation for a pet, it is important to choose the remedy most effective against all possible parasites. For example, Drontal Plus has proved to be very promising, the only antiparasitic drug that works against all the most common worms and lamblia and is approved for use in dogs of all breeds. Three active components of the drug - pyrantel embonate, febantel and praziquantel - enhance the effect of each other, while not being absorbed in the intestine.
It must be remembered that therapeutic drugs kill only those parasites that are in the digestive tract, but do not kill the larvae that hid in other organs. Therefore, after a while it is necessary to conduct a second examination and additional treatment.
