In this case, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time, otherwise chronic poisoning will cause a little damage to the dog's liver and kidneys. Only when the liver and kidneys have a certain degree of damage can it be detected by the machine.
4. Infection with canine distemper
If the dog’s vaccine is not successfully vaccinated, it may be convulsions caused by the canine distemper virus, which is usually accompanied by unconsciousness. Moaning and drooling. If this is the case, it means that canine distemper has developed to an advanced stage. The success rate of treatment during this period is also relatively low.
