Is my dog’s condition serious, and what medicine should it take?
From results, mild kidney damage and high total bile acids, possibly acid-reflux gastritis. Fast 8h to reduce gut irritation and prevent vomiting. If no more vomiting, try pet anti-vomiting meds (Zhitu Ning, metoclopramide, cimetidine) with antibiotics (amoxicillin, cephalexin). But oral meds may irritate gut and re-trigger vomiting—better to IV at clinic with anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory shots.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
What happens if a dog’s respiratory infection becomes severe?
A severe respiratory infection can cause a range of complications: inflammation of the trachea, bronchi, or lungs leading to difficult breathing, constant coughing, rapid breathing, and reduced stamina. It may also cause fever with lethargy, poor appetite, and low energy, and prolonged high fever can damage the nervous system and leave sequelae. Repeated or long-untreated infections may become chronic, such as chronic bronchitis or pneumonia, affecting quality of life and lifespan.
How is an ovary removal (spay) done on a female dog?
Spaying must be done by a vet under proper conditions: pre-check health (no heat, pregnancy, low sugar, heart issues), choose anesthesia by weight and age, then incise the hairless belly, locate ovaries and uterus, clamp and tie vessels, remove ovaries, disinfect, and suture. Post-op painkillers and antibiotics.
My 5-year-old, 3 kg male Poodle played outside three days ago and now has ongoing vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite, and a temperature of 42°C—what medication should be prescribed?
Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite, with outdoor exposure—consider infectious disease like parvovirus. If not fully vaccinated, high risk. Get virus screening; if parvovirus, treat. If vaccinated, likely gastroenteritis. Still need exam to confirm.
How can I prevent arthritis in my dog?
Prevent arthritis with regular checkups, warmth, moderate exercise, and weight control. For at-risk dogs, get regular exams to catch early signs; avoid long periods on the floor and keep warm/dry; exercise moderately without overdoing it or letting the dog become obese, which wears joints.
What should I do if my dog ate a sprouted raw potato?
Eating a sprouted raw potato can poison a dog, so inducing vomiting is generally advised right away. If the best window for vomiting has passed, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly to decide whether gastric lavage or laxatives are needed, and begin detox treatment in time. If poisoning symptoms appear, detoxify immediately, as delay can be fatal. If no abnormalities show up and the exam is clear, no treatment is needed.
How do I artificially inseminate a female dog?
First inseminate at the fertile window (days 12–15 of heat). Prepare instruments (insemination bottle, catheter, vaginal speculum, warm water) and sterilize them. Collect fresh semen, clean the vulva with warm water. Then restrain the dog, insert the speculum to find the cervix, and slowly inject semen into the cervix or uterus via catheter or syringe — gently, to avoid injury.
What happens if I bathe my dog right after it recovered from parvovirus?
After parvo, the immune system is still recovering and the dog is weak; bathing can further lower immunity and cause chills, colds, respiratory infection, or relapse during the shedding period. Wait at least half a month to a month until fully recovered before bathing.
My dog suddenly stopped eating; thought it was enteritis, treatment helped a bit but then it stopped eating and became very weak, couldn’t walk. Blood test showed a sudden drop in red blood cells; it just got a transfusion.
Low red-cell count can come from anemia, poor nutrition, toxins, infection, or disease; causes include internal bleeding or chronic illness. Further tests are needed. Ingested drugs/toxins or distemper can also lower red cells and appetite.
