What should I do if my puppy is foaming at the mouth and seizuring?
Puppy foaming at the mouth and seizuring may be due to poisoning. The onset of seizures indicates that there is a problem with the puppy's nervous system. It is recommended to immediately send the puppy to a pet hospital for treatment. If conditions permit, it is best to determine the source of poisoning, which will help the doctor with the detoxification process.
Secondly, the puppy may have distemper, which will also cause seizures, foaming at the mouth, and drooling later in the disease. It is advised to go to the pet hospital in a timely manner for examination and treatment. Additionally, if the dog has epilepsy, it will also experience seizures and foaming at the mouth periodically. It is necessary to consult a pet doctor and use antiepileptic drugs for treatment.
- Poisoning
If a puppy accidentally eats expired or moldy food, neurotoxic rat poison, or organophosphorus insecticides等toxic substances, it will exhibit symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, seizures, diarrhea, and lethargy. If the puppy has recently experienced misusing certain abnormal foods, it is very likely due to poisoning. As the puppy has already developed seizure symptoms, it is not advisable to use emetic methods, and the puppy should be sent to the pet hospital as soon as possible.
Note: When feeding dogs, it is necessary to place toxic substances such as rat poison and pesticides in places where the puppy cannot reach to avoid accidental poisoning.
- Distemper
Distemper is a highly contagious canine disease, commonly affecting puppies aged 3-6 months. It mainly attacks the dog's respiratory and digestive systems and can eventually affect the nervous system, causing neurological symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, seizures, whining, and drooling.
In this case, neuro抑制剂 can be given to the dog to regulate its nervous system and see if the symptoms improve significantly. It is also necessary to strengthen the dog's nutrition. Generally, dogs with distemper nerve symptoms may still have residual nerve symptoms after treatment, and it is necessary to take neuro抑制剂 orally.
- Epilepsy
If a dog has seizures but improves after a period of time, it may be epilepsy caused by abnormal discharges of neurons in the midbrain, resulting in seizures and foaming at the mouth. Immediately remove the dog's tongue from the mouth to prevent it from biting its tongue, and send it to the pet hospital for treatment. However, epilepsy is not curable and can only be improved through medication.
