Why are my dog’s ears hot?
Hot ears may be heat regulation; many ear vessels dissipate heat, so when hot, blood flows there and ears feel warm. Inflammation can also cause hot, red, painful ears. If infection is suspected, see a vet.
What happens if a dog has arthritis?
Arthritic dogs walk slowly, limp, and have joint pain, avoiding stairs and jumps; severe cases show swelling and deformity. Pain makes them irritable and unwilling to be near people. They need painkillers, anti-inflammatories, or supplements; control weight, exercise moderately, and feed balanced food to ease joint pressure.
What if water gets into a dog’s lungs?
A little water swallowed into the lungs while drinking is coughed out and is no worry. If water stays, it can cause pneumonia with cough, fever, poor appetite; much water can cause pulmonary edema with breathing trouble, fast heartbeat, cough, weakness, low spirits. Long inflammation can cut lung function, so see a vet for lasting cough or breathing trouble.
My dog vomited a white substance, not foam
Vomiting pale foam can come from indigestion, poisoning, parasites, pancreatitis, virus, or acute gastroenteritis. For few episodes, fast half a day, then give probiotics and bland food in small meals. If vomiting continues with fever or low spirits, see a vet to find the cause.
My dog has no energy
Sudden low energy may be psychological (environment change, fright, food change) or physical (gut upset, respiratory infection, virus, other internal disease). Observe at home for other signs; if diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or no improvement, see a vet.
My dog’s left eye corner is always red with a red something and discharge
From the photo, the third eyelid is enlarged and inflamed, causing incomplete closure and heavy discharge that leads to conjunctivitis and infection, even uveitis or keratitis over time. Conservative care is anti-inflammatory eye drops and bland food, but relapse is likely; persistent redness and tearing suggest surgery for a cure.
My dog drank a lot at once and vomited thick clear fluid
Water intoxication is dangerous and can cause seizures, breathing trouble, coma, or death if severe. But your dog only vomited and salivated after drinking a lot, so it is not too bad; try mild salt water, limit water temporarily, and observe. Or give IV electrolytes at a vet to restore sodium. If it worsens, go to a hospital.
My dog has a white film in the eye with red veins, red eye rim, eye discharge, occasional sneezing and retching
From your description, the white film with red veins plus sneezing and retching may be keratitis, conjunctivitis, glaucoma, or liver disease. If unclear, take the dog to a vet for detailed checks and targeted treatment, and seek care soon to avoid worsening.
New dog had dry nose, harsh cough, cool ears, soft stool
A new dog with dry nose, harsh cough, and cool ears may not just have a cold; suspect distemper or kennel cough. Many pups come from messy breeding with disease, sometimes suppressed by stimulants so they look fine, then crash in days, the so-called weekend dog that often dies within 7 days. Screen for viruses first; if only a cold, use doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
There is ringworm on the rear; the dog bites it daily, bleeding and scabbing
From the photo, it may not be only dog ringworm; fungal infection likely mixed with bacteria and serious skin damage. Use an Elizabethan collar to stop biting. Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, then use terbinafine spray and antibacterial skin ointment. Change dressing 3-5 days; if no improvement, get a skin scraping.
