There are several reasons:
Rural dogs do not need medical treatment and lack of money: Many rural families are in poor economic conditions. Even if the dog is sick and needs medical treatment, the owner may not have enough money to pay for veterinary expenses. .
Lack of veterinary resources: Many rural areas lack professional veterinary hospitals or clinics, making it difficult for owners to find a suitable place to treat their dogs.
Ignoring health problems: Some owners may not realize how serious their dog’s health problems are, or think that their dog will recover naturally.
Insufficient vaccination: There may be no veterinary institutions in rural areas that vaccinate against canine distemper and other diseases, or the owners may not know the necessary vaccinations .
In general, dogs in rural areas do not seek medical treatment due to various reasons such as lack of finance, knowledge and resources. It is recommended that owners pay more attention to their dogs’ health issues and provide them with necessary veterinary health care services as much as possible.
