Puppy Health Care Tips – Prevention and Examination

A good veterinarian will do much more than just give your puppy his vaccinations. He will typically perform a series of palpitations on your puppy to check to see if the internal organs feel healthy and this also gives him an opportunity to check for lumps that could be cancerous. The annual check up will also provide your veterinarian with an opportunity to check his eyes and ears as well as listen to his heart. An annual puppy health exam is especially important as your puppy becomes older. It’s a good idea to give your veterinarian the opportunity to find a health problem early in order to prevent it from becoming a serious problem.

Puppy Vaccinations
Vaccinations are also very important in order to prevent disease and illnesses from seriously affecting your puppy. Vaccinations can help to prevent your dog from acquiring diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis, para influenza as well as viral hepatitis, corona virus and kennel cough. You might also want to ask your veterinarian if a vaccination for Lyme disease would be beneficial for your dog.

Basic Puppy Health Examination at Home
There is also an easy to do puppy health exam at home that you can perform. Check to see if his skin has the healthy gray –white appearance. If his skin is pink or perhaps red he probably has an inflammation problem. Also a large amount of dandruff in his fur is an unhealthy condition for your puppy. Brush your puppy's hair with your fingers and then check the smell on your fingers. If your fingers smell rancid or have a fishy smell to them this is an indication that your dog has a health problem. During the puppy health exam, check the inside of his eyelids for any redness or irritation and look inside of his ears to check for wax deposits. Smell in your dog's ears in order to check for foul smells.

Look into his mouth and check for a red line along the roots of his teeth. During the puppy health exam take a good look at all of his teeth and see if any of them have become brown and also check to see if he has very foul breath which can be an indication of a health problem. Don't allow your puppy to become overweight because obesity can lead to health problems and it can also shorten his life. To keep your puppy in good health it is important to give him a weekly puppy health exam at home and an annual exam at the veterinarian's office.
