1.5-month-old puppy breathes with a pulsing neck, vomits after eating, and now has trouble walking and keeps falling – what illness is this?
A pulsing neck when a dog breathes usually means a gagging sound during breathing, or a slight bulge of the esophagus or trachea while breathing. Based on your description - vomiting every time it eats and an unsteady gait - the first concern is a foreign object blocking the esophagus, or pneumonia from eating too fast and inhaling food into the airways. Esophageal dilation or an esophageal diverticulum cannot be ruled out either.
I have a roughly 5-month-old large black puppy that eats anything. Three days ago it came home trembling; I thought it was cold. It stopped eating and only drank water. Today it returned weak and could barely walk, with cold paws and a stiff body. My relative thinks it ate rat poison and forced salt water down its throat. Its tongue looked pale and it drooled. Will it survive the night? What illness is this?
If the puppy is normally free-roaming, the cause could be poisoning, cold weather, low blood sugar, pain or an infectious disease. Check the temperature and move it indoors to keep warm, and observe its diet, temperature, nose, stool, energy and vomiting to narrow down the cause and treat accordingly.
My Puppy Was Energetic and Eating Fine at First, Then Started With Diarrhea, Then Vomited Yellow Fluid, Then Stopped Eating and Became Lethargic; the Diarrhea Had a Bit of Red and Today a Long White Thing Came Out
Vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and passing worms suggest an internal parasite infection or parvovirus or coronavirus infection; take the dog to the hospital for fecal and infectious-disease testing without delay. If a visit is not possible and the dog is stable, deworm it and use probiotics and acid-suppressants, feeding only liquid food during recovery.
What if a puppy is not vaccinated?
Skipping vaccines raises risk of distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, rabies and hepatitis, raising death rate. Unvaccinated dogs can be confiscated. Rabies shots protect family too—human rabies is nearly 100% fatal.
What causes diarrhea in a Teddy (Poodle)?
Teddy diarrhea is usually from indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites or viral disease. Causes range from unsuitable food and spoiled food to lack of deworming and serious infections like distemper or parvovirus.
Why is my puppy vomiting yellow foam?
Puppies vomit yellow foam mainly from prolonged hunger and excess stomach acid, or from digestive diseases like gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. Unvaccinated puppies may also have parvovirus or coronavirus and need a vet check.
What to do if a Bichon has diarrhea?
Bichon diarrhea can stem from indigestion, parasites, gastroenteritis, or parvovirus/coronavirus. Adjust to a bland diet, add probiotics and pet antidiarrheals, and see a vet if there is no improvement.
What causes a puppy to poop blood?
Blood in stool can come from internal parasites, swallowed foreign objects, or parvo/coronavirus. Bones or hard objects can scratch the gut and bloody the stool. Parasites like trichomonas and coccidia damage the gut lining and cause diarrhea with blood. Unvaccinated puppies have a higher chance of parvo/corona; with fever, lethargy and appetite loss, see a vet.
Canine Parvovirus: Symptoms and Treatment
Canine parvovirus is an acute, highly contagious infection that hits puppies hardest and carries a high death rate. It shows as either severe hemorrhagic enteritis or sudden heart failure, and because mixed infections are common, quick recognition matters. Supportive care, fluids, and vaccination are the cornerstones.
Canine Rotavirus Infection: Symptoms and Treatment
Rotavirus is an intestinal infection that mainly affects young puppies, causing diarrhea while adult dogs often show no symptoms. The virus sheds in feces and spreads by the oral-fecal route, and can pass between species, allowing it to persist in the environment.
