Is Your Dog Sick If Its Nose Is Running
A dog with a runny nose is not automatically sick - mild cases often clear up on their own, so do not panic. But watch for loss of appetite, cough, vomiting, or loose stool, which mean something more serious. The discharge type is a clue: clear watery fluid suggests a cold or rhinitis; thick egg-white mucus points to an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis; yellow-white sticky mucus signals sinusitis; pus-like, pasty discharge suggests distemper, pneumonia, or bronchitis; and blood-tinged or foamy fluid warns of lung bleeding, edema, or congestion. If it is only a simple cold, keep the dog warm, give water, and a little children's-dose banlangen or antiviral oral liquid for about three days - but stick to a child's dose.
Brought Home at 50 Days, Then Got Lethargic, Wouldn’t Drink Formula, Then Vomited and Had Diarrhea; Now Vomiting Yellow/White Fluid and Passing Blood; Gave Medicine but No Improvement, with Abdominal Breathing and Fever
A puppy with vomiting, diarrhea, labored breathing, and fever can have gut, infectious, or parasite causes. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper, coronavirus, parvovirus. Stop meds and see a vet if no improvement.
My dog recently developed small black spots on its body; I considered age spots but it is only four years old. Could it be from feeding fish oil too often? Also, this morning its stool was a bit loose with a little blood
If the skin only has black spots with no other symptoms, it is mainly considered a genetic trait or pigment deposition. For the loose stool with blood, causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, parvovirus, or distemper; see a vet. If a visit is hard, fast it and give broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.
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.
Doberman vomiting and diarrhea with low energy, no blood in stool; won’t eat and vomits when force-fed
Canine parvovirus is an acute, severe infectious disease second only to distemper in danger, and there is no specific cure. Home treatment is not advised as it may miss the best treatment window. Early fasting and withholding water are recommended, and oral medication should be avoided.
What happens if a Poodle only gets one vaccine shot?
One shot may not produce enough antibodies, so the Poodle can still catch distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, or rabies - any of which can be fatal. Puppies need the first shot at 6-8 weeks, then every 21 days for 3 shots, plus an annual booster.
No energy, vomited, won’t eat
Dog vomiting has many causes: gastritis, intestinal blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, viral disease, liver/gallbladder disease. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper or parvovirus. See a vet for tests; if infectious, use antivirals promptly. If just enteritis, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic shots plus a light diet for a few days usually recover.
My Dog Has a Runny Nose, Won’t Eat, Is Listless, and Has Lost a Lot of Weight
A dog with a runny nose, loss of appetite, and lethargy usually has a respiratory infection. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper; if fully vaccinated, pet-specific cold and anti-inflammatory meds plus palatable food can help.
My Dog Is Trembling, Howling, and Refusing Food
Trembling in a dog infected with distemper suggests the virus may have reached the nervous system, and home treatment is unlikely to work. With no food intake the dog risks dehydration and death, so seek veterinary fluid therapy.
Dog sneezes and retches
Sneezing and retching may be a cold; keep the dog warm and give anti-inflammatories plus cough medicine. If unvaccinated, distemper or kennel cough is possible.
