What if a dog is covered with too many blankets?
Too many blankets make a dog uncomfortable and hurt sleep, since its fur already insulates. For short fur, a thicker pad is better. In winter, a small coat prevents colds outdoors.
Ate pork and chicken before; hasn’t eaten in 10 days, just a little water, lies by the AC blowing warm air, given amoxicillin and children’s cold medicine a few days, now cries occasionally.
The photo shows a weak, thin cat with eye/nose discharge and rough coat in a loaf position - severe abdominal discomfort, likely sick long. Get a hospital check; could be chronic GI disease, fatty liver, triaditis, FIP. Long fasting risks fatty liver; syringe-feed easily digested food.
Today I noticed a bare patch behind the ear – not sure if it’s ringworm.
The hair loss in the photo looks like ringworm: round/oval patches with gray scales, rough coat, hair loss around. Infected cats itch and scratch. A Wood's lamp shows green fluorescence; a hospital scraping confirms. Treat promptly if diagnosed.
Check if this is ringworm.

What makes a good Teddy dog?
When choosing, check the parents' health and even glossy coat; avoid dirty-eyed dogs with discharge and stains. A healthy nose is slightly moist without discharge; a very dry, listless nose suggests poor health. Curlier coat, deep color and soft glossy texture indicate better quality.
What happens if a Bichon is not dewormed?
An underewmed Bichon risks roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, nematodes and coccidia, harming gut and organs with vomiting, diarrhea, thinness, rough coat, shedding, anemia and poor appetite. External parasites like ticks, fleas and mites cause itching and scabs. Deworm monthly external, every 2-3 months internal.
What happens if a dog has too much fur?
Too much fur mats easily; if uncombed it pulls the skin, causing damage and skin disease. Long foot fur makes walking hard and can deform bones or fracture if slipping. Trim regularly, comb long coats, and give hairball paste if the dog licks fur and shows constipation or retching.
What does an impure French Bulldog look like?
Impure Frenchies vary; purebreds have medium bat ears that stand at 3 months, a short sturdy body with loose neck skin, broad short shoulders, slightly curved hips, developed abdomen and thick bones. Their coat is short, smooth and glossy in cream, brown or black. Impure ones may have fine bones, unraised ears or a long nose.
What does a long-haired Cane Corso indicate?
Cane Corso coats are normally short (2-3 cm from puppyhood) and not very smooth; long hair likely means a mixed breed. Corsos are fierce and excitable, so train early to avoid harm, and avoid crowded places to not scare people.
How to tell if a French Bulldog is purebred?
A purebred Frenchie has a large, square-ish head with a dip between the eyes, a short nose and loud breathing, unsuited to strenuous exercise. Its body is round and sturdy with a broad chest, short strong front legs and longer hind legs. It has medium bat ears that stand up around 3 months, and a short glossy coat.
