I have a Teddy puppy and need to give metronidazole tablets; what dose? I bought 0.2g tablets.
The dog's loose teeth are from tartar causing periodontitis; regular dental cleaning is needed, and metronidazole can help with gum infection but use a pet-specific product dosed by weight. Daily brushing and dry food reduce tartar.

How to Check If Your New Puppy Is Healthy
Check a new puppy in five steps: mental state (curious, not lethargic), appetite (eating within a day or two), temperature and breathing (38–39°C; over 39.5 is fever, under 37.5 hints at low sugar or shock; 20–30 breaths/min at rest), and stool/urine (formed brown, no blood or diarrhea). Also scan coat, gums, ears, eyes, and gait.
Why does my puppy bite my hands?

Why Does My New Puppy Keep Shaking?
A new puppy that shakes is usually just stressed or cold — it hides, curls up, ears back, tail tucked, and eats little for 1–3 days, then settles. A warm, quiet space helps; but if shaking comes with weakness, vomiting, or pale gums, see a vet for low sugar or infection.
Pet CoQ10 Supplements Reviewed: Picking One That Genuinely Supports Heart Health
CoQ10 is a popular supplement for pets with heart conditions, but it supports heart function rather than curing disease. It helps the heart muscle generate energy, mildly slows heart failure, and supports immunity and vitality. Yet the market is full of weak or mislabeled products—industry figures suggest most pet CoQ10 labels either understate or omit the actual content, and some use industrial-grade raw materials. When choosing a supplement, look for verified CoQ10 content (ideally backed by independent testing), natural fermentation sources, and a clean antioxidant formula, matched to your pet's age, breed risk, and symptoms. Used alongside veterinary treatment, a quality CoQ10 can be a valuable part of heart care.
Symptoms of Canine Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a serious dog disease caused by Leptospira bacteria - also called infectious jaundice or hemorrhagic jaundice - that spreads through skin, mucus membranes, and contaminated food or water, often peaking in summer and early autumn. Two forms stand out: one brings sudden fever, vomiting, dark bile-colored urine, yellow gums, and bleeding, while the other causes vomiting and bloody diarrhea with mouth ulcers and a death rate of 60-80 percent in acute cases. Diagnosis uses microscopy, culture, and blood tests, and treatment pairs antibiotics with liver and fluid support. Clean housing, rodent control, quarantine, and the two-type vaccine are the key preventives.
