What should I do if my Chinook has pharyngitis? Pharyngitis in dogs is mostly caused by rough and hard food, sharp foreign objects, chemicals or hot and cold stimulation. Here are some tips for preventing and treating pharyngitis in Chinook dogs.

Measures to prevent and treat pharyngitis in Chinook dogs:

1. Causes of canine pharyngitis

1. It is mostly caused by rough and hard food, sharp foreign objects, chemicals or stimulation by hot and cold.

2. In addition, it is secondary to certain infectious diseases.

2. Clinical symptoms of canine pharyngitis
1. Swallowing disorder and salivation are the characteristics of this disease. Sick dogs may have difficulty swallowing food or spit out food pieces. A large amount of viscous saliva often accumulates in the mouth and flows out in the form of strings, or in large amounts when opening the mouth.

2. The sick dog’s head and neck are stretched and unwilling to move. When the pharynx is touched, the sick dog dodges, stretches its neck and shakes its head, and coughs.

3. Sick dogs lose weight rapidly due to dysphagia and reduced food intake.

4. Secondary pharyngitis with obvious systemic symptoms.

3. Prevention and treatment measures for canine pharyngitis

1. Place the sick dog in a warm, dry, ventilated and well-lit kennel, provide liquid food, and drink water frequently. 2. In order to promote the absorption of inflammatory exudates in dogs, warm water or white wine can be applied to the throat for 20 to 30 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times a day. Or rub 10% camphor alcohol on the throat, or apply compound lead acetate powder. 3. When severe cases cannot eat, feeding should be stopped and 10-25% glucose solution can be injected intravenously or enema can be performed to supplement nutrition. Severe cases should be combined with systemic therapy and injection of antibiotics or sulfa drugs.
