Dogs suddenly start to "turn yellow", it sounds like a very strange thing, the color of their hair is natural, how can it be inexplicably yellow?
In fact, this yellowing does not refer to the yellowing of the hair, but to the yellowing of the mucosa.
Although the dog has cat hair all over its body, the oral mucosa and *** mucosa are pink.

Let's find out today
Symptoms of this disease and solutions to it

Overview of the disease
Cholestasis in dogs is exactly what the name suggestsIt is a disorder of bilirubin excretion and secretion
caused by conjugated hyperbilirubinism and jaundice
This is cholestasis in the narrow sense.
And in a broad sense,
All cause bile secretion synthesis
and obstruction or reduction of excretion to the duodenum
It can be called cholestasis in dogs.
In layman's terms, it is the bile of dogs.
The abnormal accumulation in their liver and gallbladder can seriously affect the dog's absorption of fat, and over time, these biles will also affect the liver cells, further causing liver damage.
Causes of cholestasis in dogs
Generally speaking, cholestasis in dogs is divided into:
There are two types of intrahepatic cholestasis and extrahepatic cholestasis.
The occurrence of cholestasis in the liver is generally related to:
Microbial infections, metabolic abnormalities, and other causes.
Extrahepatic cholestasis often causes bile duct atresia
It is usually due to progressive cirrhosis of the extrahepatic bile ducts
Obstruction of the bile duct system
It can also be caused by inflammation of the bile ducts caused by microbial infections.

Jaundice
Jaundice is a more obvious cholestasis in dogs.
At the same time, it is also a relatively common symptom.
This is because after cholestasis in the dog
Bilirubin collects in the liver and enters the bloodstream

Many parents just find out at first.
The whites of the dogs' eyes began to appear a faint yellow
A closer examination will reveal the dog's oral mucosa
Even the mucous membranes will show symptoms of yellowing.
Diarrhea
After the dog has cholestasis, the digestion and absorption of fat is much worse, and it is easy to have osmotic diarrheaAt the same time because of their intestines
Unable to digest the fat eaten properly
There will also be symptoms of a large amount of fat in the stool**.
Colorless stools
The yellow color of dog poop is actually.
It is also derived from a metabolite obtained from bilirubin.
When they have cholestasis, the bile does not participate in the digestive process properly, and the natural color of the stool can be abnormal.
This abnormality usually manifests as colorless stools
At the same time, cholestasis can cause vitamin malabsorption
Affects the hemostatic function of dogs
It may cause more bleeding or heavy bleeding.

Nutritional support**
Facing a dog with cholestasis,Veterinarians generally start with early nutritional support**
Help them get back to their physical condition as soon as possible
