Started as a tiny lump, gets bigger each year, and bleeds
The raised lump is likely an abscess or tumor. If an abscess, it may be from inflammation; now that it has ruptured, get professional cleaning at a vet (local anesthesia likely, since it's near the eye). If it keeps returning, consider a tumor.
After yesterday’s four-in-one vaccine, my dog became listless, vomited, trembled, and seems to have a slight cough
Post-vaccine shaking/lethargy/cough has several causes. Allergy to the vaccine may add facial swelling, breathing trouble. Mild-moderate side effects (shaking, low spirits, less appetite, slight fever, injection-site soreness) appear within 24-48h and ease in days. Cough may be respiratory (cold, kennel cough, parainfluenza). Give quiet rest, water, food; if worse, see vet.
My 3.5-year-old Pomeranian swallowed a glass marble at 10:30 this morning and has no reaction yet—any way to pass it?
After swallowing a glass marble, try a gentle lubricant or lactulose to ease passage and boost motility; also feed fiber (pumpkin, cabbage, sweet potato). Watch 2–3 days; if it passes, then support gut recovery. If constipated or can't pass it, consider surgery.
My dog was overfed a few days ago, about 3 to 4 months old, now weak and near death, sometimes comes out for a drink, eats nothing, very thin
Weakness and poor appetite may signal distemper, infectious hepatitis, or parasites; long starvation also causes low blood sugar and electrolyte imbalance. Take it for IV fluids first to restore basics, then run blood, fecal, and imaging tests to find the cause.
My dog vomited white with food at first, tonight it looks like bloody water, low energy
A bloated belly, vomiting, and lethargy can come from indigestion, blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, or parvovirus. Fast for 12 hours and give probiotics; if vomiting continues or other symptoms appear, see a vet to find the cause.
What happens if a dog eats scallions (green onion)?
Scallions can poison dogs: sulfur compounds bind to red-cell hemoglobin, causing hemolytic anemia with tiredness, rapid breathing, fast heartbeat, pale gums, jaundice, blood in waste. Large or long-term intake can damage kidneys, even coma, shock, death. If eaten, watch closely and rush to vet if symptoms appear.
What happens if a dog’s ears are very dirty?
Very dirty dog ears can cause the following problems. First, too much earwax blocks airflow and keeps the canal moist, giving bacteria, fungi, and ear mites an ideal breeding ground, which can lead to otitis externa or otitis media. Second, earwax and microbes make the ears itch badly, so the dog shakes its head, scratches, or rubs its ears, and in severe cases this can even cause an ear hematoma. Finally, too much wax or a severe infection can lower the dog's hearing and affect its quality of life. Therefore, if a dog's ears are very dirty, the owner should clean them regularly with a pet-specific ear cleanser; if redness, pain, or discharge appears, seek veterinary care promptly.
Why has my dog suddenly become extra clingy?
A dog becomes clingier in the following situations. First, lack of security — dogs are very perceptive; if something at home affects them, such as a new family member, they may become clingy. Second, stress — in uncertain or high-stress situations a dog also tends to become very clingy. Third, fear and anxiety — when a dog feels scared or insecure, it also tends to become very clingy. Fourth, when a dog is sick or feeling unwell, it usually becomes clingier too.
What happens if a dog eats dried shrimp (shrimp shells)?
A small amount is usually fine—dried shrimp are tiny and thin-shelled, so they rarely irritate or scratch the gut. But they're salty; too much burdens the kidneys and causes tear stains, shedding, dry coat, and thirst. Some dogs are allergic to seafood—watch for itching, rash, breathing trouble, vomiting, diarrhea, and see a vet if so.
What happens if a pregnant mother dog has diarrhea?
Frequent diarrhea loses fluids and nutrients, risking dehydration and harming the fetuses; severe cases can miscarry or preterm. Many diarrhea drugs harm puppies, so see a vet.
