The owner recently bought a Pomeranian, canine distemper
About small animals , especially young animals under three months old, are often the objects that many people who want to keep pets are ready to take home. Because dogs of this age are very cute, many people are unable to resist this temptation. One reason is that many people believe that dogs of this age are more likely to get close to people, while dogs that are older will not be able to develop emotions easily. Not to mention the rights and wrongs of this view, currently, many people buy pets but do not know how to take care of them. Here I will briefly mention a few points.
The first is the issue of immunity. Animals of this age are often not fully vaccinated. A special reminder here is that the effectiveness of vaccines for dogs of this age without full primary immunity is very poor, especially for those animals that have only received one shot, because the main effect of the first shot is to moderate the mother's immunity. Source antibodies, the level of antibodies in the body will be smaller at this time. Therefore, you must pay attention to this issue after bringing your pet home. Don't think that you are careless after one or two doses of vaccine. You must understand that the infectious diseases of pets in most cities in China are very serious. Therefore, the general suggestion is that if you are not sure, it is best to re-immunize it, and before that, don’t take it out for a walk.

The nutritional needs of young animals is also an issue that requires special proof. Because I often hear pet owners talk about this matter, that is, when they buy pets, pet store owners will often say that they only need to feed one or two meals a day, and the most they will hear is no more than three. This is obviously very problematic. Imagine a child who has just been born will never only eat one or two meals a day! In fact, animals are also common. It is best to feed young animals 4-6 times a day. The amount can be slightly reduced to reduce the number of feedings. Never feed too much at one time, especially forFor those animals that live in the wild or are not well fed in pet shops, it is very likely that they will be damaged. As for the choice of dog food, it is best to choose dog food specially designed for puppies. If you have been feeding other dog food and need to change it, please make the transition slowly, that is, add some to the original dog food from time to time. For puppy dog food, the proportion of participation can be gradually reduced until it is completely replaced.
The importance of deworming can generally be dewormed when the pet is four-sided. There is a reason why it is emphasized here, because it has been done before. I adopted a newborn puppy, which was always well raised, but suddenly died one day. The initial autopsy revealed roundworms in its stomach. Therefore, this is a problem that is often ignored and often poses a great threat to puppies, especially puppies that have just been born. At the same time, early deworming will also be more effective for later vaccines, because if there are parasites before vaccination, the vaccine may be invalid. This is why some fully immune dogs can also be infected with microorganisms. One of the causes of diseases such as canine distemper.

Primary Puppies and kittens you buy home often have some smell or something on them, especially dogs. Therefore, many owners immediately wash it clean after purchasing it and add it to their new family with new makeup. This idea is naturally okay, but it will be wrong if it is done at the critical moment. There will be a period of adaptation when a puppy enters a new environment. During this period, the animal will be in a tense state, that is, it will have a certain stress response. In a stressful situation, a pet's resistance will be correspondingly reduced. If a stranger bathes it in a strange environment, it will undoubtedly aggravate the stress, so the pet will easily get sick. Especially pets that are not fully vaccinated!
To sum up, there are three points to pay attention to. The first is the issue of infectious diseases. You must be fully vaccinated! The second is the issue of nutrition. Eat small meals frequently and feed young animals professional food. The third issue is stress. Stress is unavoidable, but stress must be reduced as much as possible!
