What are the reasons why puppies stick out their tongues?
1. Thirst
If you feed a puppy food with too much salt, it may cause the puppy to become thirsty. At this time, the puppy will frequently stick out its tongue and make mouthfuls of food. When the dog is thirsty, the owner should provide the puppy with enough water, which can help the puppy replenish the water it lacks and relieve its thirst.
2. The weather is hot
Since puppies have no sweat glands, they can only use their tongues to dissipate heat. Therefore, in hot summer, in order to lower the body temperature, puppies will frequently stick out their tongues to dissipate heat and regulate body temperature balance. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The owner can use electric fans, air conditioners and other electrical appliances to cool down the environment where the puppy is, which will help alleviate the symptoms.
3. Lung disease
If you are not in a hot summer, you are not eating food with high salt content, and your usual diet is relatively balanced, you still have vomiting. The condition of the tongue is likely to indicate that the puppy has some lung diseases, such as bacterial pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, etc. In addition to sticking out the tongue, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest tightness, cough, and hemoptysis. At this time, the puppy should be taken to the hospital for treatment in time, and with the help of a doctor, standard and effective treatment can be carried out to achieve the purpose of treatment. During this period, you should pay attention to the hygiene of the puppy's living environment, clean it frequently to ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of the environment, and bathe the puppy frequently to avoid bacterial and parasitic infections, which is conducive to the growth and development of the puppy.
