Dog vomiting can come from swallowing a foreign object, overeating, or bacterial or viral gastroenteritis (parvo, coronavirus). For choking, get an X-ray; for simple regurgitation, fast 6-8 hours then feed probiotics; for lethargy with fever or diarrhea, see a vet at once. Regular deworming helps.
Symptoms and Treatment of Arowana Pinecone Disease
Arowana pinecone disease (raised scales), also called 'arowana cold,' is often triggered by large temperature swings during seasonal changes. Early signs are darkening, rough skin, and scales protruding outward; severe cases show swollen scale sacs with bloody fluid and ascites. Treatment starts with raising the temperature 1–2°C, adding salt (0.6–1%), and partial water changes; medication is added if no improvement.

Dog asthma ranges from a dry cough and gasping to rapid breathing, fever, and a fast heartbeat; a purple tongue means rush to a vet. It can't be cured, only controlled with vet-prescribed medication and a daily yeast tablet, while avoiding smoke, perfumes, and hard exercise. Prevent it with a thinner summer coat, airy clean bedding, regular bathing, a low-salt diet with some pork (vitamin B), and avoiding pollen-heavy walks.
