Which Dog Breeds Are Suitable as Guard Dogs?
As the name suggests, a guard dog's main duty is to watch the door and protect the home. But today more people keep toy small dogs that struggle with this role. Our veterinarian introduces some dog breeds suitable as guard dogs.
My dog is over 20 days postpartum; after a bath today she became weak, can’t stand, has discharge, and is breathing rapidly.
Based on your description, these signs appearing around day 20 postpartum—still during lactation—most likely indicate postpartum fever and eclampsia, a serious metabolic disease of hypocalcemia caused by massive calcium loss after delivery, with overexcited motor nerves causing muscle tetanus.
What causes a Teddy to cough?
A Teddy's cough can come from viral or bacterial infection, allergy, or respiratory disease. It may be a cold from big day-night temperature swings without warmth; frequent cough with yellow-green mucus and fever may be distemper, so see a vet for diagnosis and targeted treatment.
What are the benefits of lecithin for a Teddy?
The clearest benefit of lecithin for a Teddy is better coat quality — softer, shinier, and less skin disease. It also lowers cholesterol, aids metabolism, and boosts immunity; if the coat is poor or rough, add dog-specific lecithin.
Why do dogs have delayed labor?
Delayed labor may come from poor nutrition and lack of exercise during pregnancy; the gestation is about 63 days and deficiency or inactivity can extend it. It can also be genetic (Yorkshire, French Bulldog, Poodle have late-labor genes), and environment such as noise or hot, humid conditions raises the risk.
My 8-month dog started wobbling a month ago, got worse, now cannot stand, limbs stiff, urinates lying down; after I bought medicine and helped it walk, it can now walk but still wobbles
Wobbling, inability to stand, and not using the paw pads may be from nervous-system problems, neuritis, bone issues, or vitamin deficiency. Take the dog to a vet at once for a full exam including neuro and bone assessment, and possibly blood tests, X-ray, or MRI. Treatment may include medication, acupuncture, or physical therapy.
What to Do When a Rabbit Stops Pooping
A pet rabbit that suddenly stops defecating is often suffering from poor diet, a hairball, or weak digestion. Fixes include switching to high-fiber hay and veggies, giving hairball paste or probiotics, and boosting water and exercise. If it does not improve, a vet visit is needed to rule out other illnesses.
My cat had a check 20 days ago for inactivity and panting; heart ultrasound showed thick heart walls; biochemistry showed slight inflammation; the vet gave heart medicine, 7 days of pimobendan and 5 days of an antibiotic, much improved, so I stopped; since yesterday it is lethargic again and panting worse; recheck diagnosed pleurisy with pleural effusion and thick bloody fluid; now on subcutaneous injections, observing — please advise, I fear losing it
This is likely pleural effusion, pyothorax, and pleurisy from heart insufficiency (right-sided congestive failure or pericardial disease raising hydrostatic pressure and capillary leakage). Heart disease needs professional long-term care; the vet may give intensive care and oxygen, and if needed drain the chest and place a chest tube with daily lavage, plus anti-infection, diuretics, and nutrition. Follow the vet's systematic plan.
My pet lost a patch of fur on its tail with white dandruff, and is passing worms
Tail hair loss with dandruff is usually a skin disease, and worms from the anus are usually intestinal parasites. Take the dog to the vet for a skin scraping to identify the skin disease and a fecal test for the parasite, then use the right topical medicine and an internal dewormer, and deworm monthly to avoid reinfection.
My hamster has red discharge at the eye corner, a lot of it; eyes open fine, but the area around the eyes is red and swollen and often watery with pale orange tears
Red, abundant eye discharge with swollen lids in a hamster is likely eye inflammation. Clean with saline-soaked gauze, then apply pet anti-inflammatory eye drops 1 to 2 times daily, prevent scratching, and keep the cage clean with fresh bedding and little dust during treatment.
