My dog is weak in all limbs and listless after diarrhea—what should I do?
Diarrhea followed by limb weakness and low spirits may indicate mild dehydration; give rice porridge or warm sugar-salt water for fluids and electrolytes. Try pet anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal meds. If no improvement in half a day to a day, or diarrhea returns, see a vet to rule out parasites or distemper/parvo/coronavirus.
Why does my Teddy bear dog’s ears smell bad?
Check the ear canal for discharge; a bad smell with discharge likely means ear mites, treated with ear cleaner and miticide. If there is only odor without discharge, it may be otitis, cleaned with ear solution and anti-inflammatory drops. If it does not improve, see a vet.

My dog’s urine ends with blood, then dribbles.
Blood in urine can come from urinary disease, food poisoning, or estrus. For females, rule out false bleeding from estrus. Cystitis, UTI, urethral stones, and tumors all cause blood. Onion, chocolate, scallion, or garlic poisoning can too. Increase water; if persistent, see a vet.
My two-month-old dog just arrived home; at night it had diarrhea and passed worms, and vomited thin, still-moving worms.
Passing thin worms indicates internal parasite infection, likely roundworms or tapeworms, and the dog should be dewormed promptly. Tapeworms are white, flat, and strip-like in the digestive tract; roundworms are white, cylindrical, and earthworm-like, living in the small intestine.
What color is a dog’s normal urine?

What symptoms appear if a dog is allergic to cephalosporins?
Cephalosporin allergy in dogs usually causes rapid breathing and difficulty breathing, and in severe cases anaphylactic shock, possibly with rash and itching. Do a sensitivity test before use under veterinary guidance.
My dog is over 20 days postpartum; after a bath today she became weak, can’t stand, has discharge, and is breathing rapidly.
Based on your description, these signs appearing around day 20 postpartum—still during lactation—most likely indicate postpartum fever and eclampsia, a serious metabolic disease of hypocalcemia caused by massive calcium loss after delivery, with overexcited motor nerves causing muscle tetanus.
