My two-month-old puppy vomited worm-like nematodes — is this normal ten days after deworming?
Vomiting visible nematodes means a heavy internal parasite load (roundworms, tapeworms). Redeworm with albendazole or praziquantel dosed by weight; see a vet if other symptoms appear.
My two-month-old puppy vomited worm-like threads ten days after deworming — is that normal?
Vomiting worms means a heavy roundworm or tapeworm infection, and if deworming was done recently it wasn't thorough — another dose is needed. Use an albendazole or praziquantel dewormer dosed by weight, and see a vet if other symptoms appear.
My 50-day-old Corgi puppy’s mouth is swollen and it won’t eat — anti-inflammatory and pain shots didn’t help, and several vets had no answer
The photo is blurry so the exact problem isn't clear, but it's likely not a mystery case — get a second opinion at another hospital. For a swelling in the mouth, ask for a fine-needle aspirate and cytology to rule out a tumor and determine its nature, plus bloodwork and an allergy test, since allergies can also cause oral and mucosal swelling. Find the cause before treating.
My puppy has a cleft lip/palate I only just noticed — what should I do?
The photo shows a congenital cleft lip and palate, a developmental defect that affects normal breathing, eating, and vocalization, with risks such as swallowing dysfunction and aspiration pneumonia. Feed via tube and help it learn to eat solids; surgical repair is usually needed to restore normal function.
