MONITORING YOUR DOG’S HEALTH
监控你狗狗的健康状况
How well do you know your pet? Because our pets cannot tell us how they feel, they may become quite ill before signs of their illness become apparent to us. Being aware of their usual behaviour and appearance enables us to observe signs of illness and seek veterinary care before a condition worsens.
你到底有多了解自己的狗狗？因为狗狗不能告诉你它们的感受，它们有可能在病症显现之前就已经病的很严重了。关注狗狗的日常行为和状态可以使我们观察到狗狗生病的迹象从而在情况变糟之前采取适当的兽医治疗。
A trip to the veterinarian is in order if you observe:
如果你发现狗狗有下列现象，你就需要去兽医医院了：
loss of appetite (it is normal for some dogs occasionally to go "off feed" for a day or two, but if the loss of a healthy appetite persists consult your veterinarian)
胃口差（如果狗狗偶尔一天或两天食量不佳是正常的，但是如果狗狗失去健康的胃口，就要看医生了）
lameness
腿部僵硬，瘸
blood in the urine
血尿
a haircoat with harsh feel or dull texture
皮毛粗糙，颜色暗哑
mucus or blood visible in the stools
大便中有胶状物或血
foul-smelling stools
大便气味异常难闻
repeated vomiting over several days
连续几天不断呕吐
loss of weight.
重量减轻
a "bloated" or distended belly that's firm to touch
腹胀
lack of interest in what is happening
对周围发生的事情不感兴趣
hiding in dark places
总爱躲在暗处
persistent coughing
持续咳嗽
discharge from the eyes and nose
鼻子和眼睛里大量分泌物
scratching or chewing at feet, skin or haircoat
经常抓或啃咬脚，皮或毛
shaking head, scratching ears.
经常摇头或者抓耳朵
For both dogs and cats, a yellowing of the white around the eye and yellow gums are signs of a problem and a trip to the veterinarian is warranted.
无论是猫或着狗，眼白和牙龈变黄都必须带狗狗去看医生。
Another sign of illness in dogs and cats is dehydration, a deficit of water in a pet's body which can be life-threatening.
狗狗生病的另一个现象就是脱水，身体中水份不足是致命的。
To test for dehydration, pick up a fold of skin in the middle back area and then release it. Normally the skin will snap
back. If it falls back slowly or remains up, dehydration is present. Immediate veterinarian care is needed to find the underlying cause and to administer fluids, either intravenously (in the blood vessels) or subcutaneously (under the skin), depending upon the degree of dehydration. This rehydrates the pet until it is drinking on its own.
检验狗狗是否脱水，只需抓起狗狗后备正中间的皮，然后放开，正常情况是皮肤很快恢复常态。如果皮肤慢慢展开，就存在脱水现象。要立刻去看医生寻找病因并补充水分。根据不同情况采取静脉注射或皮下注射。知道狗狗恢复自己饮水为止。
Keeping a medical record of your pet's vaccinations, illnesses, injuries, surgeries or medication will be helpful when an emergency situation arises
保存狗狗的病例，包括接种，生病，受伤，外科和药物治疗的纪录对于应对紧急情况的发生是十分有帮助的 |
