Coughing with nausea suggests a respiratory infection. Give amoxicillin-clavulanate and plant extract, keep warm, and feed light, easy food. If no relief, it may be pneumonia or distemper.
What happens when a Samoyed catches a cold?
A Samoyed with a cold shows sneezing, runny nose, cough, tears, fever; severe cases get thick pus discharge, breathing trouble, low appetite, and may progress to pneumonia. Use pet cold medicine; see a vet if cough persists.
Let the dog out to play alone; it squeezed through a small backyard gap. It’s fat and struggled. When found it stopped barking; normally very vocal.
A dog that stops barking after playing out may have tired itself or been injured squeezing through; rest and watch. It may also have eaten poison; ensure water and watch for symptoms.
My cat has drooling, runny nose, tearing, poor appetite, won’t drink, and frequent continuous sneezing
A cat cold can be treated with pet cold and anti-inflammatory drugs (amox-clav, doxycycline, Shuanghuanglian); never human meds (they cause poisoning). Keep warm, give warm water and protein/vitamins; if no improvement in 2-3 days or eyes/nose turn mucopurulent or fever, it may be rhinotracheitis/mycoplasma - see a vet.
My 40-something-day puppy has coughed for two days, like something is stuck – what’s wrong
A cough like choking may be upper respiratory infection, possibly progressing to lung infection if it brings up phlegm. In cold weather it may be a chill, kennel cough, or flu. Try pet anti-inflammatories (amox-clav, doxycycline) with cough syrups, keep warm; if no improvement in 2-3 days, see a vet; with lung infection add nebulization; viral needs interferon/parvo monoclonal.
My dog suddenly stopped coming home, lay outside, hasn’t eaten for 3 days, now has bloody stool and is weak and cold
Blood in stool and anorexia can be poisoning, parasites, or viral disease, but by day 3 it's past the time for induced vomiting, so don't induce. Best to go to a vet; if not, warm it, give glucose-saline, pet antibiotics (amox-clav, bismuth) and probiotics. Tomato-soup-like stool suggests viral infection needing interferon and parvo monoclonal; puppy viral mortality is high, so hospitalization is better.
How to treat dog enteritis
Enteritis inflames the small/large intestine causing soft stool, diarrhea, poor appetite, sometimes bloody stool and vomiting. For mild cases use antibiotics (amox-clav, ampicillin, neomycin), antidiarrheals (bismuth, smectite), fast 6-8h if vomiting then probiotics, and feed low-fat, low-protein, easy food.
Stool has water and poop, sandy brown poop
Severe diarrhea is usually acute enteritis; brown stool suggests upper GI bleeding. Give pet anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal (neomycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, gentamicin, bismuth, smectite). Feed light, low-allergy, digestible food. If no relief, see a vet to avoid dehydration and anemia.
A soft lump appeared on the left side of the cat’s head and it is oozing pinkish pus; the cat may be pregnant
When a cat has a soft head lump already oozing pus-like fluid, rinse it with saline and clip the fur to expose the abscess. Use hydrogen peroxide and antibiotic ointment for shallow abscesses, and seek veterinary care for deep or large ones.
