My two-month-old puppy coughed and dry-rethed after vaccination and now has a slight fever—what should I do?
Based on your description, a puppy with fever, cough, and foamy dry-retching usually indicates a respiratory infection. It may be a weak immune system reacting to the modified-live vaccine, or a common respiratory illness such as distemper, kennel cough, or acute pneumonia. Seek veterinary screening promptly and do not give human Banlangen.
Why do dogs get acute encephalitis?
Acute encephalitis in dogs is usually caused by viral, parasite, bacterial, or fungal infection; for example, canine distemper or rabies virus can lead to it secondarily. It may also be a primary genetic issue such as nerve damage or incomplete nerve development. Treatment is urgent and must start promptly.
Can a Puppy With a Runny Nose Get Vaccinated?
Dogs showing any sign of illness—such as a runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, or diarrhea—should not be vaccinated, because live-attenuated vaccines can worsen an existing condition. Puppies need to be at least 45 days old for their first shot and about 3 months old for the rabies vaccine, with deworming spaced roughly a week apart. After vaccination, observe the dog for 30 minutes, avoid baths for 7 days, and confirm immunity with an antibody test around 15 days later.
My dog has poor appetite, low spirits, constant trembling, and vomiting
These signs may come from digestive issues (gastroenteritis), bad food or poisoning, infections like distemper or dog flu, or intestinal blockage from a foreign object. See a vet for exam, blood, and fecal tests; treatment may include medication, fluids, and diet change.
A month-old Teddy mix lost appetite and became listless a few days after coming home, coughs up saliva with white foam, and sometimes has crusted eye discharge—what disease causes this?
From your description the dog may have a respiratory or other breathing disease. 1. Respiratory infection (canine bacterial cold, distemper, kennel cough) shows poor appetite, lethargy, cough with foam, eye discharge; bacterial cases use cephalexin and doxycycline or nebulization, while distemper is acute and needs vet antiviral and supportive care. 2. Kennel cough (infectious tracheobronchitis) in puppies causes cough and low spirits; antibiotics work slowly, so also boost immunity. See a vet for diagnosis.
How long does it take for a puppy with pneumonia to recover?
Puppy pneumonia generally takes 1 to 2 weeks to treat, depending on constitution. Weak puppies often have other infections like parainfluenza or distemper, needing full diagnosis. Ordinary pneumonia recovers in about a week with good care.
How to Treat Dog Keratitis
Dog keratitis shows as discharge and red conjunctiva and worsens without prompt care. It splits into acute, chronic, and purulent forms; treat with chloramphenicol or warm/cold compresses, flush acute cases with boric acid or rivanol, and address the root cause (distemper, chlamydia, allergy, chemical burn).
Dog has watery diarrhea, vomiting, low spirits, dry nose, dehydration, and refuses food
Based on the symptoms, the preliminary diagnosis is acute gastroenteritis or an infectious disease. If unvaccinated, suspect parvovirus, coronavirus, or distemper, which are life-threatening and need hospitalization.
My 2-month Corgi, 1.65 kg, has coughed 12 days after a cold, on herbal cold granules and amoxicillin, still coughing at night—what to do?
A dog still coughing after 12 days of cold medicine is abnormal; a simple cold with warmth, immunity and meds usually heals in a week, and human cold medicine is not advised—use pet drugs like Cefadroxil or canine Florfenicol. If no improvement, it may be viral respiratory infection like kennel cough, distemper, parainfluenza or infectious bronchitis, even pneumonia; get a contagious-disease screen and X-ray at a vet for targeted treatment.
My dog has pus-like nasal discharge and asthma-like breathing; seems contagious. What disease is this?
Purulent nasal discharge suggests bacterial or viral upper respiratory infection such as bacterial pneumonia, parainfluenza, or distemper, where pneumonia causes the asthma-like breathing and needs urgent vet care. Bacterial cases may respond to oral antibiotics if mild.
