A patch of fur is gone with pimple-like bumps; the vet said hormonal imbalance, but medication and supplements for a while haven’t helped
Symmetric bald patches often signal endocrine issues like hypothyroidism or Cushing's. Get a detailed exam for cause-specific drugs; spaying helps balance hormones, and add vitamin C and fiber to the diet.
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.
My Dog Was Hit Near the Eye With a Stick and Now Squints and Trembles When Opening It
An eye that will not open after a blow is likely local inflammation and swelling from trauma. See a vet to confirm severity; if not convenient, give pet pain/anti-inflammatory meds and a pet antibacterial eye drop to ease discomfort.
What medicine should I give a dog with a urinary tract infection?
Common UTI drugs are anti-inflammatories and anti-infectives like amoxicillin and enrofloxacin, but causes differ. See a vet for the cause; stones may need surgery plus post-op antibiotics.
My Dog Can’t Lift Its Tail and the X-Ray Shows No Fracture – Why?
Possibly hip dysplasia, but the film is blurry - get further checks. Mild hip dysplasia can be managed with joint supplements and anti-inflammatory pain meds. If ruled out, check for nerve damage; tail nerve injury can also prevent lifting.
A patch under the eye went bald and the dog scratched it until it bled. What is this and how is it treated?
Baldness below the eye with itching is mainly considered to be from fungal or parasite infection. Fungal infection shows ringworm patches with gray scales and hair loss; use a Wood's lamp to confirm, then antifungal medication after shaving. An Elizabethan collar prevents scratching.
My dog is six years old, a male, has been vomiting yellow fluid fairly often lately, and yesterday suddenly gasped like asthma, seemed very uncomfortable, then recovered after a few minutes. What’s going on?
Frequent yellow vomit and gasping may be drug side effects, airway blockage, gut issues, or heart disease. An older dog may have heart disease; gasping means breathing trouble and choking risk, so see a vet for targeted care.
My dog’s hind legs suddenly went limp, with no sensation when touched, and it lost bladder and bowel control; now it drags itself when walking. I can’t get home right now, please help!
Hind-leg paralysis with incontinence may stem from spinal or intracranial problems, needing CT or MRI and neurological exams. If a vet visit isn't immediately possible, give pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and nerve-support medication temporarily.
It is the second day since the dog came home. Its stool is a bit loose and sometimes has a little blood, but energy and appetite are good. The pet store said it is a parasite issue and told us to come for an injection, but we worry it may have an underlying problem. What is the best treatment? Also, it has no crate yet and likes to sleep on the floor.
Loose stool with blood can be caused by indigestion, internal parasites, or viral infection. For a new dog, a full veterinary checkup is best to confirm the cause; if parasites are the issue, timely deworming plus vet-prescribed antibiotics and gut-repair medication will aid recovery.
