Why Your Dog’s Eyes Are Red with Crusty Discharge
Red eyes with crusty discharge signal eye disease — keratitis, corneal ulcer, cataract, or entropion. Each looks different; most respond to a saline rinse or antibacterial drops, but entropion needs surgery to stop relapse.
Autumn Care Tips for Your Dog

Autumn Joint Care for Dogs: What to Watch
After a hot summer, dogs tire easily in autumn — and extra exercise to rebuild strength can strain joints. Keep weight down, trim nails, warm the bed, and avoid hard running; joint supplements and a vet-approved plan help arthritic dogs.
My dog has a cold and a fever — what medicine brings the fever down quickly?
A cold and a fever are two separate issues that should be treated together. For the fever, use physical cooling or a dog-specific fever reducer; above 40°C, see a vet for an injection. The cold is a respiratory infection — treat it with a vet-recommended canine cold medicine. Address each symptom separately, and if other illnesses are present, consult a vet before more medication.
My dog has a fever and this is my first time — what should I do to bring the temperature down?
The most effective way to cool a fever is physical cooling — a cold towel applied to the body is the fastest, most practical method. Cooling only eases symptoms; for a real cure a dog-specific fever medication or a vet injection is needed. The common approach is a vet-recommended fever reducer or a visit to the veterinary clinic.

For a mild fever, simple home measures can ease symptoms: offer cool boiled water, wipe the paw pads and belly with rubbing alcohol, or apply a cool towel for physical cooling.

How to Treat Fungal or Bacterial Skin Infection in Dogs
Fungal dog ringworm is treatable, fast if caught early and slower (4–6 weeks) if widespread. Clip the fur, apply antifungal spray and ointment, add vitamin B, and keep the environment clean to stop reinfection.
My dog’s body feels hot, like a fever. Where should I touch or measure to tell if it has a fever?
Feeling the dog with your hand and judging by heat is wrong. Use a thermometer under the armpit; 39.2°C or above confirms fever, below that is just warmth. Treat with a canine fever-reducing medication or a vet's fever shot after diagnosis.
I just discovered my dog has a fever, and this is my first time. What should I do?
Don't jump to conclusions from a warm body—hand-feeling is unreliable. Use a thermometer under the armpit; 39.2°C or above means fever. A canine fever-reducing medication treats it, or a vet can give a fever shot after diagnosis.
