What happens if a puppy drinks milk?
Puppies lack lactase, so cow's milk often causes lactose intolerance with diarrhea and bloating, even dehydration. Watch closely and stop if soft stool appears; use goat's milk formula instead for protein.
She stopped eating kibble a few days ago but ate cat strips; the last two days she won’t even eat strips, chicken breast, or shrimp, and drinks little. She poops and pees normally but a bit large; energy is fine, very active. Yesterday morning she vomited a little white clear fluid, then nothing since. What’s wrong?
Sudden not eating with vomiting suggests gastroenteritis, parasites, or blockage, or hairballs if no hairball paste lately. Try hairball paste; if no improvement, get an X-ray for blockage. If just inflammation, antacids and anti-inflammatories suffice.
Appetite dropped from the day before yesterday; eats little hay and pellets, little water. Yesterday I gave water with lactic acid bacteria; today it drinks more but still little hay/pellets. Small, black droppings; today more than yesterday. No bloat or impaction, belly soft. Activity normal, lots of shedding, given hairball paste.
Small black droppings and low appetite suggest constipation or hairballs, often from low water intake. Increase water and feed high-fiber timothy or rye grass to aid gut movement and passage.
I’m a student; I adopted Xiaobao. When I got him one eye was green; the previous owner said he’d bumped it and a vet said it was fine. But he keeps having lots of eye discharge, eye drops and ointment didn’t help, it comes back. Last week a brown spot appeared on the eyeball and other parts are cloudy. I’m worried he’ll go blind but I can’t afford a vet and have no time (home only Fri PM to Sun PM). It’s worse now; what do I do?
Heavy discharge may be a blocked nasolacrimal duct; a vet can flush it. The new brown spot and cloudiness suggest worsening or wrong medication; see a vet promptly and avoid random drugs that harm vision. If you cannot yet, try pet anti-inflammatory eye drops.
What happens if you cross a Shiba Inu with an Akita?
Their size difference can cause difficult labor in the mother. The mix may show unstable temperament and uncoordinated build, plus inherited issues like hip dysplasia, skin, or eye disease. Avoid crossing very different breeds; monitor offspring health.
Why is my puppy’s pupil cloudy?
The photo shows bleeding at the back of the eye, likely from trauma or a hard impact. Use pet anti-inflammatory eye drops, rest, and an Elizabethan collar; if no improvement in 3 days, see a vet, especially after an accident.
Why does my Teddy have heavy tear stains?
Teddies have shallow, closed tear ducts and shallow lids, causing heavy stains; clean the eyes often or consider surgery. Eyelid inversion, dacryoadenitis, ear or eye infection can also cause stains; find the cause.
My Labrador pants heavily while nursing (also at other times). The day after birth I let her out and she burrows into holes; the pups are still inside and she won’t come out when called. Since birth her belly keeps twitching; eating and drinking are fine.
Postpartum panting and belly twitching may be from calcium deficiency, unsettled breathing, or nervous sensitivity; appetite is good so it is likely minor. Boost nutrition with broth, goat milk, and calcium under guidance.
How do I care for a pregnant Teddy?
Ensure ample nutrition with pregnancy kibble or added chicken, fish, and vegetables; keep food fresh and portions controlled to avoid obesity or oversized fetuses. Get a checkup around day 30.
What foods should a lizard eat if it lacks calcium?
Feed calcium-rich foods like spinach, rapeseed, and cabbage; insects such as silkworm pupae and crickets; and small fish and shrimp. Severe cases may need calcium powder or tablets under veterinary guidance.
