Nowadays, many young people prefer small animals, especially pet dogs like husky, Samoyed, and golden retrievers. Raising pet dogs does not have much impact on their lives. However, if a woman becomes pregnant, many pregnant mothers will worry about it affecting the body. After all, pregnant women have relatively poor resistance. Some people even say that there is a possibility of parasite infection. So will dogs have an impact on pregnant women? What should you pay attention to when having a pregnant woman at home raising a dog?
1. Dogs have an impact on pregnant women
As a parent of a pet dog, if there are pregnant women at home, you must know that there are several diseases that can be common to people in the dog, such as brucellosis, rabies, etc. Brucellosis is even at risk of miscarriage and premature birth in pregnant women, so there should be certain risks for pregnant women.
However, these diseases can only be infected by bites by dogs, so as long as pregnant women pay attention, they will not be infected with these diseases.
There are also several common diseases of roundworms in dogs and humans, such as Lyme disease and Leptospirosis, but there are relatively few cases of infected pregnant women.
So in short, if pregnant women are very afraid of being affected by their dogs, they can send their dogs to their friends or relatives for foster care during pregnancy.
2. What should pregnant women pay attention to when raising dogs?
A. Various vaccines and epidemic prevention and treatment for pet dogs must be done well. It is very important to ensure the safety of your dog. At the same time, if you are pregnant, you can ensure that your dog has no health problems, and you can raise it, but don’t raise new pet dogs or pet cats.
B. Pay attention to hygiene: If a pregnant woman raises a dog, she must have good hygiene habits, especially after dealing with the dog's feces, she must wash her hands, because there are many bacteria in the dog's feces. If a pregnant woman does not pay attention to it, she will easily get sick in the dog's feces. If you have cats at home, it is best not to let pregnant women and their children deal with feces.
C. Food: When feeding dogs, you must not feed raw meat to prevent the breeding of parasites. Of course, pregnant women themselves must prohibit it.
In fact, if you are not paying attention to personal hygiene, it is not recommended to raise dogs when preparing for pregnancy or getting pregnant, because there are many toxoplasma gondii in the dog's feces. If a woman does not wash her hands in time after processing the feces, it may even lead to fetal deformities or other diseases. Therefore, unless you have good hygiene habits, it is not recommended to raise dogs during pregnancy or during pregnancy.
