What happens if a dog’s tear stains get severe?
Severe tear stains easily cause inflammation and may even affect vision. Causes include blocked tear ducts, irritation, eye inflammation, narrow ducts, ear disease, or too much salt.

Clean daily, keep diet light, use eye drops if bad, and see a vet if long-term treatment fails for duct blockage.

How long after eating rat poison does a dog die?
After eating a large amount of rat poison, a dog usually dies within half an hour to 24 hours; the exact time depends on the type and concentration of the poison and the dose. The toxin spreads through the body within about half an hour, so with strong poison and a large dose death may occur within half an hour. With weak poison and a small dose, timely treatment usually prevents death, but treatment must be prompt to stop the toxin building up in the liver, kidneys, and heart.
How to handle a dog bitten by a tick?
Once a tick is found on the dog, promptly use a pet external parasite treatment to remove them. Brown-red, black, or brown bugs on the body suggest a tick infestation. For few ticks, dab alcohol on the area, and once the tick is numb, pull it out with fine-tipped tweezers; or spray flea spray on the infected area and the tick will be gone the next day. After removal, apply an external parasite medicine; for many ticks, see a vet. Never pull a tick off by hand to avoid skin infection.
How soon can a pregnant dog be bathed?
A mother dog can be bathed around one month into pregnancy; bathing is not advisable in early or late pregnancy. If necessary, around one month the fetuses are stable and the owner can bathe her, but if she is not dirty there is no need. After 45 days, bathing is not recommended because her pregnancy reaction is strong and she resists bathing, which can easily cause miscarriage during the bath.
