3 Places to Search When Your Dog Goes Missing
If your dog goes missing, act fast: print a poster that includes the line 'a reward is offered for safe return'—thieves rarely dare demand ransom openly and risk police trouble, so this works. First, check the local flower-bird-fish-insect market, the top spot for trading suspicious dogs. Second, if your dog is a popular breed, visit nearby dog markets within 24 hours and post notices, since sellers avoid the public markets. Third, review surveillance footage: go to the police station (bring a calm companion, stay polite—officers are busy but will help), and ask neighboring shops for their cameras. If all else fails, mobilize WeChat and Weibo, and remember most lost dogs are resold rather than ending up as meat, usually through backyard breeders rather than reputable kennels.
4 Things You’re Missing If Your Dog Has Bad Breath
A dog's bad breath is not normal—it often means disease. Leftover food builds bacteria that cause tartar, periodontal disease, and can spread to the liver, heart, and kidneys. Keep the mouth healthy with four habits: brush one to two times a week using pet toothpaste (human toothpaste can poison if swallowed; water and a pet brush work too); check teeth regularly and see a vet for serious issues; give chew toys and dental treats to wear teeth; and feed a balanced, mostly dry diet with supplements for micronutrients (deficiency causes mouth ulcers). About 80% of dogs without dental care develop oral disease by age three—prevent early.
Can a Dog with Folliculitis Bathe? Should the Area Stay Dry?
Dogs with folliculitis can and should be bathed — a medicated bath even speeds healing — but use a pet shampoo, not human products, and dry thoroughly afterwards. Treatment pairs topical meds and medicated baths with oral drugs for severe cases, and starting early costs far less time and money.
Why Do Dogs Eat Their Own Poop?
Dogs eat their own stool for several reasons — missing trace elements, bad habits, or poor digestion. Fix it by adding vitamins and trace elements, cleaning up promptly, and improving gut health with probiotics.
What to Do If Your Dog Is Bitten and Bleeds?
After a dog bite, calm the dog and treat the wound: rinse with saline, disinfect with iodine, and apply antibiotic ointment. For large or heavily bleeding wounds, go to the vet for stitches and a tetanus shot; if unvaccinated, get the rabies vaccine within 24 hours. Use a collar to stop licking.
Causes of Non-Regenerative Anemia in Dogs
Non-regenerative anemia in dogs stems from nutritional deficiency, chronic disease, bone marrow problems, or tumors that stop new red blood cells from forming. Diagnosing the underlying cause guides treatment and recovery.
A few days ago my dog’s cough was mild, but today it worsened, with body twitching, yellow nasal discharge, and one vomiting episode, and no appetite
Based on your description, the dog's cough, twitching, runny nose, vomiting, and appetite loss may be from a cold or distemper virus. If unvaccinated, rule out infectious disease first. See a vet promptly to avoid worsening or missing the best window.
My two-month-old puppy vomited dog-food bits yesterday and was lazy with little exercise; I gave it cimetidine tablets yesterday and it still vomited today, and probiotics also made it vomit — it is throwing up the medicine. What is going on?
Based on your description, the puppy vomits frequently and still vomits after medication; do not keep giving it drugs to avoid further harm. Given its young age, infectious diseases must be ruled out first. Take it to a vet promptly; distemper and parvovirus are common and deadly, so timely treatment is key.
Took the dog out last night, poured kibble and it slept; afternoon still no eat/drink; walk showed yellow diarrhea; gave probiotics, then it vomited yellow; gave amoxicillin, bupleurum, smectite, gentamicin; just vomited white twice more
Vomiting, diarrhea, no eating may be acute gastritis from bad food, bacterial infection, or parvo/corona. Get a vet check and infectious disease screening, especially if unvaccinated.
Why won’t my dog’s head and feet move?
Based on your description, the dog may be paralyzed. The cause is unclear and needs CT, MRI, and blood tests at a vet to find any chance of recovery.
