My three-month-old dog vomited white mucus three times yesterday morning, had first loose stool around 8pm, another an hour later, is sleepy and anorexic, very thin at two pounds, dewormed twice with no effect; rural area with no vet. What do I do?
Frequent diarrhea risks dehydration, low blood sugar, shock, and death, so find the cause and treat; possible causes are bad food, distemper/parvo/corona, or foreign-body injury. If no vet, fast, give glucose, and use anti-emetics, antibiotics, and anti-diarrhea medication.
The belly is not very large and the dog is energetic; does it need a puncture?
With little hepatic ascites, abdominal tapping is not advised to avoid protein loss; support with immunoglobulin, liver protection, diuretics, nutrition, and infection control, tapping only if necessary and never more than one third. Long-term care with prescription diet follows.
My dog’s stool was normal at first, but last night it had water mixed into the poop.
Watery stool is diarrhea, possibly from parasites, indigestion, or gastroenteritis, not necessarily parvovirus. Fast half a day with probiotics and light diet; if no improvement, use medication or vet testing.
My dog has diarrhea with blood but is still very active; it ate a little sunflower seed shell and vomited it out.
Bloody diarrhea can be gut scraping by a foreign body, parasites, hemorrhagic enteritis, or virus. If active and seed shells were eaten, it may be mild; fast and give probiotics, then meds if no improvement, or see a vet for foul-smelling stool with other signs.
The whole belly turned red with small red pimples; the dog itches, and iodine plus erythromycin did not work; diet and life are normal.
Widespread red belly with pimples suggests allergic dermatitis, fungal or bacterial infection, or parasites; a skin cytology test guides treatment. Allergies need avoidance, fungus needs terbinafine, and parasites need monthly prevention.
My dog has parvovirus; foamed at the mouth early Jan 22, diarrhea in the afternoon, tested positive Jan 23, then bloody stool and foam at night. At which stage and what is the survival rate?
Bloody stool places the dog in the middle-to-late stage of parvovirus, with about a 40-50% recovery rate under active treatment; survival depends on immunity, plan, and response. Controlling vomiting and bleeding offers a good chance, with transfusions for severe anemia.
My dog was carbon monoxide poisoned: passed out, vomited everywhere, lost bowel and bladder control; later woke up, walks unsteadily, and still has seizures.
Suspected carbon monoxide poisoning needs immediate removal to fresh air and emergency vet care with 100% oxygen and fluids. Delayed treatment risks death or brain damage; recovery may leave neurological sequelae and needs restricted activity for six weeks.
Two-month-old dog, normal first day home, then diarrhea in the afternoon, milk at night, diarrhea at midnight, formed stool next morning, then diarrhea again with white mucus and a little blood, then yellow water and white stuff. Today gave gentamicin, stool color improved. What next?
The diarrhea is likely acute gastroenteritis from environment or diet change; fast 24 hours and give probiotics and pet anti-inflammatory. If it continues or vomits, check for infectious disease at a vet.
My dog is uncoordinated, drooling, panting heavily, and drinking lots of cold water.
These signs suggest poisoning or heatstroke. Check temperature; over 40 C with hot limbs and rapid breathing indicates heatstroke needing cooling and water, while suspected poisoning needs a vet and vitamin C fluids.
My dog’s hind thigh bone was broken by a car, had internal fixation surgery, and now the plate has bent. What should I do?
A bent plate after fixation needs revision surgery, ideally adding an intramedullary pin for double fixation, plus a week of external bandaging. Restrict movement and cage-rest for one to two months with anti-inflammatory and calcium support.
