Dogs get anemia just like people, with similar symptoms. Mild anemia may not need medication, but the causes are varied. Here are the causes and ways to treat dog anemia.
I bathed the cat at home a while ago, then noticed yellow nasal discharge with bad breath, but it eats, drinks, runs, and jumps normally. Is this a cold or rhinotracheitis?
From the symptoms it's likely just a chill and cold. Try pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine, keep it warm, and supplement vitamins, protein, and lysine. If fever or eye redness appears, consider rhinotracheitis or calicivirus and see a vet.
I bathed the dog a few days ago; after that its hind legs were unsteady, and it’s been like this for days. Today it keeps falling and cries out.
Unsteady walking and falling usually aren't from bathing. In puppies it's often nutritional bone-development issues; in seniors it may be arthritis or neurological problems. Hypoglycemia also causes this. See a vet.
How can I make a Bulldog’s ears stand up?
English Bulldogs have naturally dropped ears that only surgery can erect; French Bulldogs can stand naturally. If a French Bulldog's ears don't rise, it may be genetic or calcium deficiency. Supplement calcium, get sunlight for vitamin D, and massage the ear base.
How can I make my dog’s coat grow smooth and beautiful?
For a smooth, healthy coat, bathe and brush regularly (long-haired dogs 2 to 3 times, short-haired 1 to 2 times monthly), use pet-specific shampoo and conditioner, and supplement lecithin, vitamins, and unsaturated fatty acids. Keep up deworming and hygiene.
After a bath, the puppy is listless, curled up in a ball, with a dry nose; pressing its belly produces gurgling sounds, not the puppy’s cries.
Listlessness and a dry nose after a bath may be from fright, chills, or an infectious disease. Keep the puppy warm, offer protein and vitamins, and if sneezing appears use pet cold medicine; unvaccinated puppies with fever or vomiting need a vet.
What happens if a dog eats dumpling wrappers?

What happens if a dog eats poor-quality dog food?
