Feeding Your Dog: Key Precautions
Never feed dogs brittle bones, human leftovers, frequent snacks, milk, or table scraps. Use a set bowl, set times, and plenty of clean water—building good habits protects gut health and appetite.
My dog recently developed small black spots on its body; I considered age spots but it is only four years old. Could it be from feeding fish oil too often? Also, this morning its stool was a bit loose with a little blood
If the skin only has black spots with no other symptoms, it is mainly considered a genetic trait or pigment deposition. For the loose stool with blood, causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, parvovirus, or distemper; see a vet. If a visit is hard, fast it and give broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.
At first the dog had scabs on its body; after feeding dexamethasone it has had diarrhea and won’t eat for five days
Diarrhea after dexamethasone may be flora imbalance, more likely in gut-sensitive dogs. Dexamethasone is a steroid anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, anti-proliferative) but shouldn't be used long or stopped suddenly - taper the dose. Take it to a vet for a gut check; if mild, probiotics plus diet adjustment can recover.
