My dog has a black bump under its anus and keeps licking it-why?
A black bump under the anus that the dog licks may be an anal-gland issue (impaction or abscess), a skin problem (eczema, dermatitis, fungus), or parasites. Fit a collar to stop licking and see a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
My dog passed worms the night I brought it home, had soft stool, was anemic at the vet, then vomited two long white worms, got better, but is passing worms again and now won’t eat, only drinks
Your dog likely has a persistent parasite infection causing diarrhea, anemia, and vomiting. After deworming it may pass worms, but if it still passes worms and won't eat, see a vet; causes include heavy parasite load, secondary viral infection, or gut irritation from the medication, which is usually temporary.
My dog has severe skin disease and there’s no reliable vet nearby-what medication should I use?
From the photo this looks like a fungal infection or pyoderma, but skin signs overlap and mixed infections occur, so a skin scraping is advised even at a basic clinic. If fungal, use antifungals like ketoconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine; severe cases need systemic treatment, medicated baths, and a clean dry environment.
Why does my dog chew its paws?
Dogs usually chew their paws because of pain or itchiness in the toes. Common causes include paw injuries, parasites, fungal or bacterial infections, and allergies. If you notice your dog chewing its paws, check carefully for hair loss, redness, or ulcers, and seek targeted treatment.
Today I found red dots on my dog’s belly and near its privates, and a red patch in the groin—could it be eczema or another skin disease, and what medicine should I apply?
Red dots on a dog's belly are often superficial pyoderma or eczema from bacterial infection, usually from a damp environment or lying on wet bedding/floor. Clean the belly with saline, disinfect with diluted peroxide or iodine, then apply an antibacterial ointment such as a pet spray with zinc oxide, twice daily; oral antibiotics or weekly medicated baths help. Use a collar to stop licking and disinfect the environment to keep it dry.
Dog with distemper pneumonia: cough, dry heaves, runny nose, poor appetite, lethargy
Distemper pneumonia shows lethargy, poor appetite, breathing trouble, frequent cough, and dry heaves; the lungs show moist or crackling sounds and a blurry outline on X-ray. The virus has reached the lungs, so take the dog to a hospital for IV fluids, electrolytes, and cough, phlegm, wheeze, and fever medicine; use systemic cephalosporins, nebulization, and antivirals early, and isolate strictly as distemper is highly contagious and often fatal.

What color is a dog’s amniotic fluid?
A dog's amniotic fluid is usually dark green or pale yellow. After it breaks, much dark-green or pale-yellow discharge flows, meaning labor is near, so prepare to assist. Delivery usually follows within half an hour; if it doesn't, suspect dystocia and go to a vet to avoid fetal death from lack of oxygen.
One of my dog’s ears is swollen and itchy; it earlier stopped eating, and the swelling has lasted almost a month
A swollen, itchy ear is likely an ear infection or other disease; after a month, see a vet to confirm the cause. Possible reasons: 1. outer-ear infection (bacteria/fungus) with redness, discharge, itch; 2. ear mites needing specific medicine; 3. ear hematoma from broken capillaries needing possible surgery; 4. ear tumor needing ultrasound or biopsy; 5. allergies or skin infection. A full exam finds the cause.
What medicine should I give a dog with yellow nasal discharge?
Yellow discharge may be respiratory infection or distemper. For infection, oral anti-inflammatories with doxycycline plus heat-clearing medicine; for distemper, control virus, ease cough/breathing, and stop secondary infection. If distemper signs appear, go to a vet promptly.
