My dog is weak in all limbs and listless after diarrhea—what should I do?
Diarrhea followed by limb weakness and low spirits may indicate mild dehydration; give rice porridge or warm sugar-salt water for fluids and electrolytes. Try pet anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal meds. If no improvement in half a day to a day, or diarrhea returns, see a vet to rule out parasites or distemper/parvo/coronavirus.
What does the dog four-way vaccine include?
The four-way vaccine prevents canine distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza—all life-threatening, so early immunization is needed. Others include two-, three-, five-way, etc. (number of diseases prevented). Puppies can start at 6 weeks; initial series is three shots, 3 to 4 weeks apart.
How do you know if a Teddy (Poodle) has a cold?
A Teddy's cold symptoms resemble humans': sneezing, coughing, runny nose, lethargy, loss of appetite, watery eyes, and fever. Colds may be from bacterial or viral infection; mild cases can be treated with pet cold and anti-inflammatory medication.
What causes a Teddy to cough?
A Teddy's cough can come from viral or bacterial infection, allergy, or respiratory disease. It may be a cold from big day-night temperature swings without warmth; frequent cough with yellow-green mucus and fever may be distemper, so see a vet for diagnosis and targeted treatment.
My dog went out to play, came home and stopped eating, vomited the next day, only drinks water, sleeps more, and is less lively with low energy lately
Vomiting yellow fluid with no eating or drinking is usually a serious gastrointestinal disease and needs a confirmed cause before medication. For indigestion, give probiotics; for gastroenteritis with frequent vomiting, withhold food and give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic plus probiotics; if no improvement, get IV fluids. Distemper or parvovirus also cause yellow vomiting and need early hospital care.
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.
What Happens If a Dog Is Given a Fake Vaccine?
A fake vaccine cannot produce enough antibodies, leaving the dog's immunity insufficient, so it easily catches distemper, parvovirus, infectious hepatitis, and other diseases when exposed to pathogens, which can even threaten its life.
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.
Nebelung
The Nebelung is essentially a long-haired Russian Blue, a rare variant recognized by TICA in 1987 and hailed as the 'nobility of long-haired breeds.' Apart from its coat, it is identical to the Russian Blue. Quiet, shy, and gentle, yet intelligent and adaptable, it is well suited to calm households.
My two-month-old kitten is very thin with ongoing watery diarrhea and coughing, has a good appetite, and variable energy-what could cause this?
A thin kitten with persistent watery diarrhea and coughing may have digestive issues, parasites (roundworms, hookworms), viral infection (distemper), or upper-respiratory/cat-flu/calicivirus disease. Because symptoms persist, get a full exam: blood, fecal, X-ray, and respiratory PCR.
