What should I do if my dog’s penis is inflamed and swollen?
Inflammation and swelling may be bacterial or fungal tissue inflammation; clean with saline, give a broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, observe 3 to 4 days, and continue a week if improving. Use an Elizabethan collar to stop licking. A urinary infection with painful urination also causes licking and swelling; if the dog drinks little and has frequent, scanty, yellow, painful urination, see a vet.
Why won’t a dog put one of its paws down suddenly?

Will the white film over my dog’s eye heal on its own?
A white film may be cataracts or keratitis and usually won't heal alone — see a vet. If keratitis, use antibacterial drops and antibiotic ointment; severe cases need eyelid injections. If it's cataracts, surgery is advised — extracapsular lens removal is the common op.
Which country is the Siamese cat from?
The Siamese cat comes from Thailand, where in ancient times it was a noble cat kept by the royal family and temples.

Can cats carry the rabies virus?
Cats can carry rabies. The virus spreads to people, dogs, and most mammals like cats, pigs, cattle, horses, and rats; dogs are the main human source, then cats. So vaccinate cats and dogs regularly, and if you are scratched or bitten, squeeze out the blood, wash with soapy water, disinfect with iodine, and get the vaccine at a clinic.

Why Is My Dog’s Stomach Gurgling but No Diarrhea?
A gurgling dog stomach without diarrhea is usually from indigestion or an early sign of gut inflammation. Normal digestion makes soft sounds, but very loud borborygmi can mean eating too fast or gas-producing foods like sweet potato, beans, or meat. Parasites or gut inflammation can also disrupt the flora. If there's no diarrhea or other abnormality, try pet probiotics; if other symptoms appear, see a vet.
How do I make a dog vomit (induce vomiting)?
Use soapy water or 3% hydrogen peroxide, but peroxide's strong oxidation can damage the gut lining, so control the dose and rinse with water after to cut residue. Soapy water works better and is easier, but for toxin ingestion don't do it at home — go to a vet for 1% copper sulfate or apomorphine plus other meds to limit organ damage.
What could cause my dog’s skin condition, and could it be demodectic mange?
From the photo and location, this could be demodectic mange or secondary pyoderma. Demodex is a stubborn parasitic skin disease; early signs are hair loss, red, thick, wrinkled skin with sticky scales, often on the face, ears, lips, and inner legs. Confirm with a skin scraping at the clinic and follow the vet's plan; keep the kennel clean and dry, disinfect, feed a balanced diet, and apply monthly parasite prevention.
