What color should a dog’s earwax be?
Normal earwax is yellow and scant; black, brown or red with odor suggests inflammation or ear mites. Get a vet check; for mites use drops and mite medicine.
My dog ate chicken bones and now vomits and will not eat – is its gut blocked?
Vomiting and refusing food right after chicken bones strongly suggests an intestinal blockage. This is serious; get X-rays and likely surgery to remove the bones.
Is Myfoodie (Mafengdou) dog food good for a Golden Retriever?
Myfoodie is a well-known, mostly budget-friendly pet food brand with some past quality issues, so check first. For a Golden, the BARF freeze-dried raw line is a better pick; higher budgets can look elsewhere.
My dog has red bumps on its head and legs with thickened skin – what’s wrong?
Red, thickened bumps suggest demodex, scabies or a fungal infection, possibly mixed. Get a skin scraping; if unavailable, use an ivermectin parasite treatment and medicated baths.
My dog has vomited yellow foam for half a month and was told it has chronic distemper; it still vomits and is weak – what should I do?
Confirmed distemper needs antiviral monoclonal antibodies and interferon, antibiotics for secondary infection and symptomatic care. Early antivirals help; see a proper clinic.
My dog was injured by a firecracker and keeps crying with two bleeding wounds – what should I do?
Heavy bleeding suggests deep wounds; see a vet for cleaning, disinfection and possible stitches. Care for the wounds until healed.
My dog was bitten by a stray dog; no bleeding but several sore spots – is it serious, does it need a hospital?
If your dog is vaccinated and in date, rabies risk is low; whether it needs the shot depends on its vaccine record. Clean and disinfect minor wounds; see a vet for deep or bleeding ones.
My dog fell in water at eight months old during the 2019 pandemic peak and went untreated, leaving a chronic problem; a vet called it incurable asthma, but after a severe injury last year with internal bleeding it needed three blood transfusions to survive, and now it is worse – what should I do?
From the description alone the dog's condition cannot be judged, so a veterinary exam of the respiratory and cardiac systems is needed to find the cause of the rapid breathing. Because the dog is having difficulty breathing with a risk of suffocation, prompt treatment matters.
My dog vomited undigested yellowish food and has blood in its stool – what’s wrong?
Vomiting undigested food with bloody stool suggests enteritis or parasites, and possibly parvovirus. See a vet; if delayed, use pet broad-spectrum meds at home.
What if a dog’s enteritis is not cured?
Untreated enteritis causes long diarrhea, dehydration, weight loss, and malnutrition, and can spread to pancreas, liver, kidneys. Delay makes it worse and harder to cure, so see a vet early.
