Is It Normal for a Dog to Have a Lot of Eye Discharge?
A little eye discharge is normal in dogs—especially flat-faced and narrow-duct breeds like Bichons and Poodles, and in puppies—but a sudden increase can signal 'heat,' conjunctivitis, keratitis, blocked tear ducts, or allergies. Clean gently, switch to a light diet with more water, and see a vet if it persists.
Do Border Collies tear up the house?
Border Collies can be destructive. They are smart and obedient but very energetic, so without enough exercise they may chew things out of boredom. Their high intelligence means they may also wreck things out of spite, and teething at 4–5 months adds another risk if no chews are provided.
Can erythromycin ointment cure ear mites in dogs?
Erythromycin ointment barely helps ear mites, since it only fights bacterial inflammation while mites are parasites. Treatment should focus on killing the mites and cleaning the ear canal with parasite-control drops; add antibiotics only if a secondary infection occurs.
Why Do Dogs Get Too Stressed?
Dogs can build up significant stress from loneliness, hunger or thirst, noise, too little exercise, a poor or changing environment, emotional neglect, or shifts in the household.

What Does It Mean When a Dog Suddenly Barks Excessively at Night?
Night barking often signals a stranger or dangerous scent nearby, since dogs are highly alert to unfamiliar smells and will bark to warn you. It can also be heat-related—a dog in season may bark to communicate with nearby females. Rodents or snakes in the home can also trigger excited night hunting.
How Are Guide Dogs Trained?
Training a guide dog is a long, selective process: candidates are first screened for temperament and aptitude, then taught obedience, navigation, socialization, and daily-living skills before earning certification. It takes a dedicated trainer team and a strong bond with the future owner to produce a reliable partner for a visually impaired person.
Why is my dog still bleeding after 30 days of her heat cycle?
Bleeding for 30 days into a dog's heat cycle is usually normal, since cycles vary individually and typically last 15-30 days (some only 7-15). If she is energetic with no fever, appetite loss, vomiting or diarrhea, keep observing and keep the vulva clean and dry to prevent bacteria. But if bleeding increases with a foul odor and her mood or appetite changes, a reproductive issue may be the cause — see a vet.
