What happens when a dog is excited?
An excited dog barks, jumps, circles, wags fast, digs, licks the owner's face and rubs its head on the owner. Over-excitement can cause sleeplessness and fatigue.
I was bitten yesterday afternoon; it only hurt briefly and I did not notice until I saw a scab at night. The dog is three months old, over three pounds, and has always lived indoors.
For a bite that breaks the skin and bleeds, get the first rabies shot and watch the dog for ten days; if it is still healthy after ten days, later shots can be skipped. An indoor dog has low infection risk, but rabies is nearly 100% fatal, so the choice is yours.
What happens when a dog hears a wolf howl?

How can I prevent parasites in my dog?
There are many ways. First, deworm regularly with parasite medicine, planning based on age, health and environment; this is the most effective method.
My dog vomited once in the morning and then ate nothing, only drank water and was inactive, lying down for two days. I also hit it a few days ago and the next day its front left leg went lame. Is it a fracture? It does not cry when I touch the leg.
First find the cause of the vomiting. A single vomit with no other gut symptoms may not be digestive disease; check whether hitting it caused pain.
My dog seems to have a fever and I don’t know what to do, or how to tell if a dog has a fever.
A feverish dog shows a raised temperature, red conjunctiva, dry nose, rapid breathing, loss of appetite and lethargy, but you must measure to be sure. Take a rectal temperature; above 39.5C means fever.
My dog has coronavirus and had IV drips at the vet for two days but is still not better, still vomiting and refusing food. I can no longer afford the bills but cannot bear to see it suffer. Is there a cheap, useful substitute medicine I can try?
Canine coronavirus usually needs about 7 days of treatment, so two days is too short. Hospitalization with fluids is best because it allows close monitoring and a higher cure rate.
What kind of dog can get rabies?
