Solutions for dog ascites:

1. While controlling the dog's diet, it can also be given diuretics, which can help the discharge of ascites and inhibit the increase of ascites.

2. In the case of severe ascites in dogs, ascites can also be excreted through puncture, but not too much at a time, so as not to cause anemia, kidney failure, dehydration and other phenomena.

3. If the dog has ascites, it is best to reduce its drinking water and feed it more high-protein food.

Causes of ascites in dogs:

1. When a dog suffers from peritonitis, the reabsorption capacity of the peritoneum will decrease, and the exudate will increase, which will lead to the retention of exudate and the formation of ascites.

2. When there is a lack of protein in the dog's body, it is easy to suffer from hypoalbuminemia. This disease will lead to the reduction of colloid osmosis and osmotic pressure in the dog's blood, so that a large amount of fluid will enter the dog's abdominal cavity and form ascites.

3. Some liver parenchymal disorders will make it difficult for the dog's blood and lymph to return, which will lead to portal vein congestion, water seepage from the blood vessel wall, and ascites.

4. Some lung diseases can lead to increased capillary pressure and interstitial fluid in dogs, resulting in symptoms of edema and ascites.
