Why does my dog have a patch of hair loss?

Treatment depends on severity—mild cases are simple.
What could cause my dog’s skin condition, and could it be demodectic mange?
From the photo and location, this could be demodectic mange or secondary pyoderma. Demodex is a stubborn parasitic skin disease; early signs are hair loss, red, thick, wrinkled skin with sticky scales, often on the face, ears, lips, and inner legs. Confirm with a skin scraping at the clinic and follow the vet's plan; keep the kennel clean and dry, disinfect, feed a balanced diet, and apply monthly parasite prevention.
How to train a Golden Retriever to potty
Golden Retrievers are smart and easy to train. Puppies can't hold it, so set up a dog toilet, smear some feces and urine on it, and clean other spots so the dog follows the scent. When it sniffs and circles before defecating, take it to the toilet and reward success with snacks.
My turtle keeps opening its mouth in the morning and floats sideways a bit
From the symptoms the turtle likely has pneumonia. Severe cases float sideways in deep water, breathe with an open mouth at the surface, make breathing sounds, have blocked nostrils and refuse food and water. Isolate the sick turtle and keep the temperature steady at about 28C. See a vet; if that is hard, use an azithromycin or amoxicillin bath and oral medication, and add vitamins or glucose.
Can you add salt for fish tail rot?
Salt is okay but medication is also needed. Tail rot usually follows parasite damage then bacterial infection, turning the fin white and splitting, and in severe cases the whole fin rots. Salt disinfects the tank, but also change water; apply malachite green at 1 percent to the lesion daily for 3-5 days, then a furazolidone bath.
