My old dog vomits everything, is skinny, with bad liver, gastric dilation, and heart effusion
Vomiting comes from liver disease and gastric dilation; X-ray shows no clear object, but endoscopy needs risky anesthesia. Elderly with many complications responds slowly; if no surgery, conservatively use liver-protecting, kidney-supporting, and heart drugs to avoid failure.
My dog suddenly lifts one front paw but shows no pain
Lifting a front paw may be an unnoticed fall causing joint dislocation or sprain (needs CT), a paw pad injury or interdigital dermatitis, or mimicking others. Check the pad closely.
My dog has red, cracked, scabbed mouth corners
Red, cracked, scabbed mouth corners may be stomatitis or oral cancer; if fast-growing, get a cell check. Meanwhile rinse with potassium permanganate or boric acid, use a mouth spray and iodine glycerin, and oral antibiotics and vitamin B.
My dog’s eye ulcer healed, then the whole eye turned blue, then red and won’t heal
The photo suggests keratitis and conjunctivitis from corneal damage. A vet eye exam is needed; do not use eye drops blindly as wrong ones can worsen the eye.
My dog has a very large belly and is constipated
A large belly may be gas, constipation, or ascites. If it has not defecated for a long time, constipation is likely; add probiotics, fruits, vegetables, and belly massage. Fluid waves suggest ascites needing a vet.
My dog has a red patch of skin and licked off the fur there
Red skin can come from poor cleaning, parasites, injury, allergies, or bacterial/fungal infection. If it worsens, get a vet skin check; infected skin needs antibacterial medication.
My dog is passing tapeworm segments in its stool
The photo suggests a serious tapeworm infection causing visible worms in the stool. Deworm internally with milbemycin, praziquantel, or fenbendazole, and repeat in a week.
My dog arches its back with vomiting and diarrhea and abdominal pain
Arching the back signals abdominal pain; with vomiting, diarrhea, and pain, suspect acute or viral gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or other abdominal disease. Do not medicate blindly; see a vet.
My dog’s front leg is weak and it lifts the paw; pain suspected
With no wound, weak front-leg lameness may be from low calcium, arthritis, or a fracture. As it worsens, get a vet exam; arthritis needs antibiotics and pain relief.
My dog bleeds every time it uses the bathroom
Bleeding during bathroom visits can come from poisoning, urinary disease, or being in heat. A female dog in heat may pass blood that mixes with urine, mimicking blood in urine; keep her clean and see a vet if it continues.
