Author: Wade Robins
Protecting your dog's health is the most important thing over
anything else. With the proper diagnosis and knowing what to
look for will help, you determine some possible reasons for the
dog health problems. The top 5 dog health problem symptoms
provide knowledge about parvovirus, skin disorders, eye
problems, rabies and ear problems. When you see the first signs
of a problem, you need to respond appropriately to protect the
health of your dog.
Dog Health Problem Symptoms of Parvovirus
Some symptoms of the disease are weight loss, dehydration,
vomiting, fever and nasal discharge. If you see any of these
signs, you will need immediate medical attention for your dog.
Diarrhea is usually the first symptom, which could be from
anything, but when other symptoms appear, you will have a better
idea of what you are dealing with. A puppy under the age of six
months can contract this disease and will ultimately die. Proper
vaccination at an early age will protect the puppy from this
horrible disease and death.
Dog Health Problem Symptoms of Skin Disorders
Some symptoms of a skin disorder will be scratching,
inflammation of the skin, and is some cases a discharge of pus
from the area that breaks open due to excessive scratching. This
requires medical tests and observation to determine if it
results from a parasite, both internally and externally,
allergy, bacterial or fungal infections and hereditary. The
bottom line is there are two different types of shin diseases,
hereditary and acquired.
Dog Health Problem Symptoms of Eye Problems
Red eyes, swollen eyes and weepy eyes are signs of something
wrong and should be checked by your veterinarian to determine if
is caused by an allergy or a more serious health problem such as
conjunctivitis. The problem may also be the result of an injury
if the dog plays with other dogs or cats with claws.
Dog Health Problem Symptoms of Ear Problems
Scratching of the ear, discharge, odor and shaking of the head
might indicate some type of ear infection. This also might come
from a parasite infestation that invades the ear such as an ear
mite. Other reasons for symptoms may be trauma, bacterial and
allergies, which will result in ear problems as well. Dogs that
have ears that hang down covering the ear canal are more prone
to ear problems than other dog because no air gets into the ear
to dry it up, so it stays moist and invites infection. For more

Dog Health Problem Symptoms of Rabies
Without proper vaccination, the dog that has an encounter with
a rabid animal can contract rabies, which will result in death.
Symptoms to watch for are change in behavior, foaming of the
mouth, biting and aggressive behavior towards people and other
animals. This is probably the most serious dog health problem
ever, since it can spread the virus through biting. Immediate
containment and medical help is needed at the onset of such
symptoms to protect your family and society from the spread of
rabies.
