My Samoyed Is Coughing, Gagging, Panting Rapidly, and Has Eye Discharge – What Could It Be?
These signs suggest respiratory and digestive disease. If vaccines are incomplete, distemper should be ruled out, as it is a leading contagious disease with cough, discharge, lethargy, and vomiting.
How can you tell if a dog has a cold?
A cold usually brings sneezing, a runny nose, and coughing, and severely poor appetite, lethargy, and fever. Try pet cold medicine, but similar symptoms may be distemper.
My dog suddenly stopped eating; thought it was enteritis, treatment helped a bit but then it stopped eating and became very weak, couldn’t walk. Blood test showed a sudden drop in red blood cells; it just got a transfusion.
Low red-cell count can come from anemia, poor nutrition, toxins, infection, or disease; causes include internal bleeding or chronic illness. Further tests are needed. Ingested drugs/toxins or distemper can also lower red cells and appetite.
Lethargic, dry nose, not eating, drinks little, keeps lying down, vomited once with white foam
From your description, lethargy, dry nose, lying down, and vomiting mean the dog is sick — get a vet exam to confirm the cause. Focus on ruling out distemper; if infected, use interferon and monoclonal antibodies plus oral antibiotics to prevent secondary infection and for symptomatic care.
My cat has intermittent limb twitching, drools, is low-spirited, and has very hot ears
From your description, twitching, drooling, lethargy, and hot ears don't rule out poisoning, but heart disease, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, epilepsy, or distemper could also cause them. Get a vet exam to confirm the cause; the symptoms are serious, so timely treatment matters.
It was fine until last week; since last week it’s been like this — at first it coughed and wouldn’t eat, my dad gave it some medicine and then it ate again, and it eats now, but it has little strength and walks unsteadily. Can you tell roughly what’s going on? Thank you!
Based on your description, the dog shows coughing, not eating, and unsteady walking. Combined with the symptoms, the priority is to rule out distemper. If the dog has not been regularly vaccinated, take it to a veterinary clinic promptly for distemper and related testing. At the same time, run relevant tests based on the symptoms to confirm the cause and apply the right treatment. If the dog is confirmed infected with the distemper virus, give it antiviral treatment promptly, use antibiotics to control secondary infection, and provide symptomatic supportive care.
Hello, my dog suddenly lay on the ground with its hind legs twitching, and the sides of its belly also twitched; it wouldn’t get up or respond when called, and it vomited. What’s going on?
Sudden convulsions and vomiting mainly point to poisoning, distemper complications, epilepsy, nerve damage, or brain parasite infection. Once the convulsions ease, take it to a vet for cause-based treatment. If it had distemper before, it's likely a distemper aftereffect.
What medicine treats infectious canine tracheobronchitis (kennel cough)?
Caused by various pathogens (parainfluenza, distemper, herpesvirus). Severe cases need antibiotics to curb spread. Symptomatic care: bronchodilators for breathing trouble, steroids for severe inflammation.
A 2-3 month old puppy started vomiting yellow fluid and drooling white foam, is lethargic, walks slowly and unsteadily, loves to lie down and sleep, eats nothing, sometimes drinks, and its belly twitches when drinking; then it became less affectionate with a vacant stare — about 5-6 days now, given glucose IV
Hello, based on your description, the puppy's symptoms are mainly considered to come from poisoning or an infectious disease. The situation is urgent, so take the dog to a veterinary clinic promptly. If the dog ate rat poison or other toxic substances, the nerves can be easily damaged, causing vomiting and convulsions; in that case it needs prompt induced vomiting or gastric lavage plus a specific antidote. In addition, if the dog is not fully vaccinated, it may have caught distemper, parvovirus, or similar infectious diseases that cause vomiting, so consult a veterinarian immediately for treatment.
