Dog nose maintenance knowledge, causes and solutions

If something is found to be wrong, parents should first take the dog's body temperature (the normal temperature for anal adult dogs is: 38.5~37.5°, and the puppy should not exceed 39°). If you really have a fever, you should take it to the doctor immediately. It is not recommended that parents take medicine for their dogs at home.

At the same time, pay attention to the dog's condition and environmental sanitation, keep it clean and dry, reduce bathing, bask in more sunshine, drink more water for the dog, and avoid eating bones and salty and greasy foods.

1. Why is the nose black? Most of the dog's body has fur protection, and only the nose is directly exposed to the sun. The epidermis of the black nose contains melanin (emelanin). Melanocytes first produce the raw material of melanin and secrete them into skin cells. These melanins prevent DNA in cells from mutating from being exposed to ultraviolet rays in the sun.

2. Causes of nose fading and methods to improve

Most dogs have black noses. If the dog's nose changes from black to pink, it means there is a problem with melanin deposition.

①The "smashing amino acid oxidative enzyme" affects the melanin deposition of dogs. Its effect will gradually become smaller during the aging process of dogs, making the nose of older dogs no longer as dark as puppies.

②In addition, the oxidizing enzyme of a oxidizing enzyme is very sensitive to temperature and has a stronger effect in a warm environment. Therefore, the dog's nose is prone to fading in winter and usually returns to black in summer. In this case, as long as the dog is in good spirits and has no other symptoms of illness, it does not fall into the category of disease. It is a very normal phenomenon.

③Allipency to plastic products. Contact dermatitis caused by plastic rice bowls can also cause the dog's nose to fade and the lips will also become swollen. It is recommended to use stainless steel rice bowls.

④ White spots can cause the nose to fade, and then white spots will appear on the dog's body.

⑤ If there are scratches or scratches on the dog's nose, it will also turn pink. Color will be restored when the trauma is healed.

If your dog's nose is completely pink, then you must pay attention to protecting its nose in the sun and not allow it to be exposed to the sun.
