Bichon Frize (Definite Introduction)
As the air quality becomes worse and worse, the environment has a negative impact on the dog's body The health effects are becoming more and more important, so what effects does air pollution have on dogs?
The important factors in the atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Under certain circumstances, gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide may appear in the air. Except for nitrogen, all the above gases have certain effects on the dog's body.
Oxygen: It is the most necessary gas for dogs to exist. When the oxygen content in the air decreases to 15%, dogs will have adverse reactions. For example, if it decreases to 11%~12%, the dog will develop asthma, and if it decreases to 7%, it will cause asthma. , the dog will be sacrificed.
Carbon dioxide: It is not toxic in itself. Its main harm is the formation of hypoxia. When the amount of carbon dioxide in the air reaches 0.07%, the dog’s breathing will deepen and accelerate. The content reaches 1%~1.5%, and the air It will become turbid, and if it stays in this atmosphere for a long time, it will die.
Ammonia: It is a synthetic product of feces, urine, bedding, feed, etc. It is particularly harmful to dogs and can reduce the dog's resistance to diseases and cause skin diseases, eye diseases, and respiratory system diseases. If a sick dog is in a kennel with a high ammonia content in the air, the disease will be aggravated and the death rate will increase. Even if an ordinary dog inhales air containing 0.15% ammonia for a long time, it will also cause death; in a kennel with poor ventilation, Inside, if dog feces is not removed immediately, ammonia will be released.
Hydrogen sulfide: often produced in toilets, cesspools, muddy puddles and other places. Hydrogen sulfide can directly irritate the dog's mucous membranes and cause inflammation.
Carbon monoxide: Keeping dogs in a room that is heated by coal can poison the dog due to excessive levels of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere.
