How can I know if my dog has rabies?
Judge by symptoms and history: contact with rabid or unvaccinated dogs, bites, then early signs of excitement, light/water fear, drooling, swallowing trouble, stronger aggression, and later confusion, twitching, paralysis. If suspected, isolate to prevent spread.
Why are there white crusts in my dog’s fur?
White crusts on the skin are likely from parasite or fungal infection. Get a microscope exam at the vet. Fungal crusts need antifungal meds; without treatment infection spreads. Parasitic crusts need deworming.
How can I tell how far along my dog’s pregnancy is?
You can roughly judge by signs: before one month there are few signs; around one month appetite rises and belly and breasts enlarge; after 1.5 months the belly grows markedly and breasts swell, even a little milk. For exact days, get a vet ultrasound to check fetal growth and estimate the due date.
Slept most of the day but active and jumping, ate little, tried to vomit twice but nothing came up
Dog chocolate poisoning causes drooling, vomiting, unsteady walking, irregular heartbeat, and breathing trouble. If a small amount was eaten, watch closely for symptoms; if symptoms appear, go to a vet. Based on your description (lethargy, vomiting), it may have been affected - get checked.
What happens with a herding dog mixed with a village dog?
The mix is a mongrel showing traits from both parents, hard to predict. It may have a long muzzle, long double coat, long legs, bright eyes, strong adaptability, and inherit the herder's loyalty, smarts, and trainability. Looks may vary, with messy coat color or ears that don't stand.
My dog was hit by a car in the hind leg, eats very little, has lost weight, and has a small lump on one side of its belly – what could be wrong and what should I do?
A lump on the belly after being hit by a car may be local swelling or a hematoma from the impact, or it could indicate a tear in the abdominal wall or internal injury. The photos also show the external wounds are fairly serious and would likely need stitches. It is best to take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly for an examination so treatment can be based on the findings, rather than delaying and risking worse outcomes.
How is it to keep a Rottweiler as a family dog?
A Rottweiler can be kept at home, but needs early socialization and obedience training because of its protectiveness and wariness of strangers. It's an energetic medium-large dog needing lots of exercise, and is banned in some areas—check local rules first.
What happens if a dog eats too much dog food?
Overeating kibble causes indigestion (bloating, hiccups, vomiting, belly pain). Long-term excess calories cause weight gain and obesity, raising heart/diabetes/arthritis risk. Long-term single food makes it picky. Feed by weight/activity, add veggies/meat (cabbage, broccoli, apple, banana, chicken, beef).
How to remove tear stains on my 3-month-old Bichon?
For tear stains: feed low-salt food, no added salt or seasoning; wipe daily with warm water or eye cleaner and pat dry; trim fur around eyes; if stains persist, see a vet for blocked tear ducts or infection.
My dog has had diarrhea since yesterday.
Diarrhea alone is hard to diagnose; if spirits and appetite are good, it's likely diet or parasites. Fast briefly, give probiotics, and see a vet if no improvement or other signs appear.
