My dog is coughing, dry heaving, and has diarrhea
If your dog has diarrhea and a cough, seek timely veterinary care. If impossible, observe symptoms, feed easily digestible food with probiotics or anti-diarrhea medicine, keep warm, and avoid contact with other sick dogs. If unresolved, rule out viral infections, especially in unvaccinated puppies.
Today I found red dots on my dog’s belly and near its privates, and a red patch in the groin—could it be eczema or another skin disease, and what medicine should I apply?
Red dots on a dog's belly are often superficial pyoderma or eczema from bacterial infection, usually from a damp environment or lying on wet bedding/floor. Clean the belly with saline, disinfect with diluted peroxide or iodine, then apply an antibacterial ointment such as a pet spray with zinc oxide, twice daily; oral antibiotics or weekly medicated baths help. Use a collar to stop licking and disinfect the environment to keep it dry.
What medicine should I give a dog with yellow nasal discharge?
Yellow discharge may be respiratory infection or distemper. For infection, oral anti-inflammatories with doxycycline plus heat-clearing medicine; for distemper, control virus, ease cough/breathing, and stop secondary infection. If distemper signs appear, go to a vet promptly.
What are the symptoms of a Teddy’s patellar luxation (kneecap dislocation)?
Patellar luxation in a Teddy shows stiff legs, pain, feet turning outward, and pigeon-toed or splay-footed walking. Confirm and grade it with an X-ray. Severe cases need surgery; mild cases are managed conservatively by limiting exercise and using pain/inflammation medicine.
What medicine works best for a dog’s fungal skin infection?
Dog fungal skin infections are mainly treated with antifungals such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, or griseofulvin. For large or severe infection, use whole-body treatment. Sunlight and extra nutrition raise skin resistance and speed recovery. The treatment cycle is long, so keep medicating until fully healed.
What should you watch for when buying a pet dog online?

Confirm the breed and traits, ideally by visiting or a video call to check breed, personality, and health. Set a budget beforehand to avoid low-price traps or overspending.
What medicine should a dog with swollen lymph nodes take?

My four-month-old dog keeps nodding its head, worsening but otherwise fine—what could it be?
Frequent nodding with good spirits may be normal (hiccups or excitement) or a neurological issue such as seizures or distemper aftermath. A vet can prescribe anticonvulsants or nerve-support medication.
What medication is needed for a Golden Retriever’s hemolytic anemia?
Golden Retriever hemolytic anemia generally requires fluid and blood transfusion therapy combined with hormones, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatories such as dexamethasone. The owner should give medication under a vet's guidance and adjust dosage correctly, while feeding more high-protein food to boost immunity and speed recovery.
