My two-year-old dog has a small protruding bump on the belly; it used to be a flat flesh lump but recently bulged out and feels soft.
A soft belly bump is usually an umbilical hernia where tissue pushes under the skin; it is painless unless growing large, then surgery may be needed to prevent adhesion.
Today my dog was hit by a car; no visible injury and it could still jump, but at home it keeps vomiting, now seven times.
Vomiting after being hit suggests internal or head injury; there is a 48-hour danger period, so get a full check promptly. If care is delayed, withhold food and water and watch closely.
My 12-year-old dog was terrified, jumped high, fell, and has drooled heavily for four days; head still cannot move, hind legs move, front legs stiff, only slight self-movement; yesterday eyes were lively and took milk by syringe, today refuses water and milk. Any chance of recovery? What to feed for nutrition?
A fall can cause brain and spine injury with head tilt, drooling, paralysis, and later stiffness and incontinence; urgent imaging is needed. Nutrition like lactoferrin, calcium, and vitamins helps, but lasting deficits are likely.
Chihuahua, male, 8 years old; suddenly noticed a red bump/patch on the right eye today.
A red spot around a Chihuahua's eye is likely conjunctivitis from its prominent eyes; use antibiotic eye drops and clean discharge. Senior eye exams help catch cataracts and dry eye.
It is a Bichon Frise; about how old is the dog?
Based on tooth wear and tartar in the photo, the dog is about 4-6 years old, though diet and oral care affect accuracy. Age can also be judged from face, gait, and coat.
My dog was accidentally run over by a wheelchair today, then refused food and water, vomited white foam, became inactive, normal elimination, throat gurgling, labored breathing. Any way to save it? It’s a one-month-old rural dog and family won’t take it to a hospital.
Difficulty breathing after being crushed suggests chest or lung compression; keep the dog calm and sitting, clear the airway, and seek emergency care without delay.
My dog recently grew two small bumps above its eyes.
A bump above a dog's eye may simply be the brow bone, a normal hard structure, or a growth that appeared suddenly. Sudden growths should be imaged to tell bone from soft tissue and may need surgery.
Sudden whole-body trembling, no energy and no eating for nearly three days! No diarrhea, no runny nose, no cough, no vomiting!
Whole-body trembling in dogs can come from poisoning, cold, organ pain, or infectious disease. Check environment, diet, temperature, and stools, and pursue imaging and blood work at a vet.
It got a bit cold; the dog barks at night and in the morning is weak in the limbs and cannot stand.
Weakness and inability to stand can come from calcium deficiency, joint disease, hypoglycemia, or dehydration from illness. Check diet, bones, and possible infection, and see a vet.
How long is a large dog pregnant before giving birth?
A dog's pregnancy is about two months. One month after mating, a vet ultrasound can confirm pregnancy. The first 30 days are unstable - avoid strenuous exercise to prevent miscarriage. Around day 45, an X-ray shows litter size and development and helps predict the due date.
