Why does my dog like to tear up toilet paper?
Possible reasons include relieving anxiety, boredom, teething, or a trace-element deficiency. Tearing paper excites the dog and eases restlessness, but owners should guide the dog toward better habits.
My dog can’t pass stool; it’s been on fluids for days and had enemas, but still nothing. What can I do without surgery?
X-rays show stool buildup. If you want to avoid surgery, try 3 more days of conservative care: enemas plus vet-guided laxatives (lubricating/emulsifying) that aid passage but can disrupt gut flora. If no effect, surgery is needed to avoid megacolon.
What happens if dog mites are left untreated?
Mite infection causes itch, hair loss, thickened skin, crusting, and ulcers. Untreated, mites spread, causing whole-body hair loss and deep skin damage that can lead to systemic infection, pain, fever, and poor appetite. Deworm and use antibacterial, anti-inflammatory skin medicine.
My dog won’t eat, dry nose, low energy, vomits white foam, trembles all over, and has yellow urine.
These signs may indicate poisoning or distemper, both serious and life-threatening. Take the dog to a vet promptly to find the cause and treat, avoiding delay.
My puppy just came home and wouldn’t eat or drink (belly maybe rumbling), but ate the next day; then the hospital found coronavirus. The next few days it eats and drinks a little, not much, but urination and defecation are normal. The vet said no abnormality, no treatment needed. Is something wrong, does it need treatment?
Puppies with obvious coronavirus symptoms need vet care, but yours only eats little. Offer palatable soft food; if it refuses, get nutrient fluids at the vet to keep appetite and nutrition up, since not eating can cause dehydration and spread the virus.
The day after the second vaccine, my dog started coughing, retching, runny nose, and vomiting.
Coughing, retching, and runny nose after vaccination are common respiratory signs; immunity dips and chilling can trigger infection. Keep the dog warm, give pet cold medicine, and see a vet if no relief.
A few days ago my dog’s ear got inflamed; we applied medicine, and today its lower part is also inflamed.
Ear inflammation can be bacterial, fungal, or mite-related, each needing different treatment. Have a vet identify the cause; bacterial needs antibiotics, fungal needs antifungals, parasitic needs deworming.
My Dog Has One Hard, Purple Swollen Breast — Are There Alternatives to Surgery?
The swollen, firm breast is best treated by surgery; without it the lump likely keeps growing. Progesterone and anti-inflammatories may help temporarily.
Why Is My Dog Vomiting Yellow Fluid, Not Eating or Drinking, and Lethargic?
These signs may mean distemper, parvovirus, acute gastritis, or pancreatitis. Get a viral screen if unvaccinated.
What Should I Do If My Teddy Bear Dog Ate a 5mg Montelukast Chewable Tablet?
