What should I do about my dog’s blocked tear duct?
Blocked nasolacrimal ducts are usually treated by flushing to remove the obstruction plus antibiotics, with good prognosis. If flushing fails, surgery may be needed. Prevent by cleaning the eyes regularly.
While tidying up at home I suddenly heard my dog barking outside; I rushed over and found it collapsed not far away, panting, limbs weak, making vomiting motions but bringing nothing up. I called family for help to take it to the vet, and fearing poisoning gave it a detox injection, but the dog still struggled painfully and died vomiting blood. What happened? Can you explain?
Collapse, dry heaves, and death with blood vomiting can be from a bone or foreign object stuck in the throat, toxic food causing bleeding or poisoning, or a head injury from being hit. With the pet already deceased, a definitive cause is hard, but these are the main diagnostic directions.
My 45kg Alaskan Malamute, almost 3, recently in heat and got demodicosis; ears are dirty and itchy after cleaning. A chewable worked then relapsed and worsened; eyes/mouth/feet have purulent crusts. Heard doramectin helps but unsure if safe for long-haired dogs and timing with the chewable.
Confirmed demodicosis is treated orally, by injection, or medicated baths. After relapse, a second deworming plus ivermectin injection is an option; dose by vet to avoid toxicity. Alaskans are NOT collie-type, so ivermectin is safe. Medicated baths and vitamins help; clean the environment.
What symptoms appear if a dog is electrocuted?
When a dog is electrocuted, a series of symptoms appears. First, the dog's body shows spasms and convulsions, and there may also be difficulty breathing and an accelerated heartbeat. If the shock is severe, the dog may lose consciousness and may even suffer irreversible harm. Therefore, once you discover a dog has been electrocuted, rescue it promptly and immediately seek a veterinarian's help to ensure the dog's health and safety. Owners should normally take preventive measures - such as placing wires where the dog cannot reach them - to avoid electrocution accidents.
A shepherd dog brought from Shandong; it was fine when it arrived at a factory with steel, bricks, and cement, but recently it has teary eyes, some redness, a runny nose, retching (dry cough?), and diarrhea. It doesn’t look well; please help.
Watery eyes, retching, and a runny nose suggest a respiratory infection. If unvaccinated, also consider distemper, adenovirus, coronavirus, or mycoplasma/chlamydia infection. Usually the dog carries a viral disease and, after the move and the stress of a new environment, its resistance drops and the virus flares up. Prompt vet testing is advised.

My dog started coughing last night, then retching, then vomiting clear sticky fluid with white foam; stool not loose but a bit black; gave anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, and probiotics; still coughing and vomiting about every ten minutes, sometimes productive, sometimes not
Coughing up white foam is usually phlegm from a respiratory infection caused by chills, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, or chronic bronchopneumonia; retching may be throat discomfort or gut infection. Have the vet diagnose the cause; if not, try doxycycline for cough, plus pet anti-inflammatory, and keep warm. If weak, poor appetite, lethargic, or feverish, check the lungs and rule out contagious disease.
