Dog Runny Nose: Is It a Cold?
Many owners assume a runny nose means their dog has a cold, but there are several other causes. A runny nose can signal a cold, rhinitis, irritation from strong smells, or even distemper. Learn the differences and how to respond.
What does blood in a Teddy’s stool look like?
Blood in stool means bright red or dark red blood appears in the feces. Causes include digestive diseases (gastritis, ulcers, intestinal inflammation, parasites), anal diseases (proctitis, tumors, anal sac issues), infectious diseases (distemper, parvovirus), or food poisoning. A fecal exam at the vet is needed.
What is the purpose of giving a dog serum injections?
Dog serum usually means monoclonal antibody serum, which specifically boosts resistance to a disease. Canine distemper and parvovirus antibodies are used against those illnesses. The serum's antibodies block viral replication and spread, greatly helping control and treatment.
My kitten vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
I just found this kitten; first time owner, so I’ll describe what I see: one eye won’t open, maybe from eye discharge; grayish stuff around the nostrils; some fur matted; very weak; won’t drink milk or water; maybe one to two months old. Hope for a quick reply. Saving a life matters, for animals too. No bad smell except slight rear odor, occasional mild twitching.
One eye shut, no eating or drinking, occasional twitching in a young kitten may signal distemper or FIP. With many unknowns, a vet check is best; these diseases are very harmful and can be fatal without prompt treatment.
My dog vomited all yesterday, not today, but has a high temperature, eats nothing, and sleeps most of the day.
These signs most likely indicate illness rather than pregnancy, especially with fever and refusal to eat. An unspayed female's fever may signal pyometra; distemper, parvovirus, pancreatitis, or acute gastroenteritis are other possibilities. Prompt veterinary examination is urged to avoid a fatal delay.
My two-month-old puppy sneezes and has clear nasal discharge but normal appetite and energy; is it a cold, what should I do, does it need medicine?
With normal energy and appetite, clear sneezing discharge may indeed be a chill or cold; pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine plus warmth and nutrition can help. Observe 3-5 days, and if it worsens or fever appears, rule out distemper or kennel cough at the vet.
My dog has been lethargic and has no appetite for the past two weeks, vomits white foam, and anti-vomiting medicine didn’t help; I also found a hard lump on one nipple and two or three small hard lumps next to another nipple.
Vomiting foam and loss of appetite can signal serious illness such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or viral infection, not just a minor upset. Combined with nipple lumps, mammary tumor or breast cancer cannot be ruled out and needs veterinary assessment. Do not medicate at home; seek professional diagnosis and treatment.

My kitten has been listless, not eating or drinking for two days, with abnormal stool and always sleeping, weak when it reacts
Not eating and lethargy are signs of illness needing a vet exam; with diarrhea, vomiting, or fever, an unvaccinated kitten may have distemper, and an undewormed one may have internal parasites; FIP, hepatitis, nephritis, or constipation also show this. See a vet.
