What are the sequelae of canine distemper?
Canine distemper sequelae commonly involve the digestive and nervous systems. A dog's gut is already delicate, and the virus further damages the digestive tract, lowering nutrient absorption and appetite. Once the nervous system is affected, even recovered dogs may retain sequelae such as head-shaking and seizures. Some dogs may also develop pyoderma during or after recovery.
What happens if a Teddy (Poodle) eats pig liver?
Occasional pig liver supplements vitamin A, protein, minerals—beneficial. But it's fatty; long-term large amounts cause obesity, raising diabetes/heart/pancreas risks. Liver is a detox organ that may hold heavy metals/toxins—long-term risk. Raw liver may carry parasites/bacteria causing gut upset, diarrhea, vomiting.
My 3-year-old Labrador hasn’t eaten for over ten days, vomited green twice, felt better after, and can still go out to play
Symptoms likely from foreign-body blockage, pancreatitis, or other digestive disease. Swallowing indigestible items can block the gut. Pancreatitis etc. also cause not eating/vomiting. See vet promptly to confirm and treat.
It had diarrhea after eating. For two days I fed chicken breast and broccoli and no diarrhea, then went back to kibble and it had diarrhea again, with gas then a sudden rush.
Diarrhea on kibble may mean it hasn't adjusted to the new food or is allergic to an ingredient. Mix a little kibble into the old food and raise the ratio slowly; switch brands if it persists, using single-protein grain-free hypoallergenic food and probiotics.
My 3.5-year-old Pomeranian swallowed a glass marble at 10:30 this morning and has no reaction yet—any way to pass it?
After swallowing a glass marble, try a gentle lubricant or lactulose to ease passage and boost motility; also feed fiber (pumpkin, cabbage, sweet potato). Watch 2–3 days; if it passes, then support gut recovery. If constipated or can't pass it, consider surgery.
What fruit can a 40-plus-day-old Golden Retriever eat?
A Golden Retriever over 40 days old is still small with a fragile digestive system, so feeding fruit is not recommended to avoid gut problems. After the Golden reaches 3 months of age, you can give some fruit such as apple, watermelon, pear, banana, and strawberry, but cut it into small pieces, control the amount, and avoid choking or indigestion. One more important point: not all fruits are safe for a Golden — such as grapes, cherries, and avocado — otherwise they can seriously harm the dog's health or even cause death.
My Teddy (poodle) won’t eat and is vomiting water—what should I do?
Not eating can stem from gut disease, pancreatitis, or viral illness; two symptoms alone can't pinpoint the cause. Fast and observe; if it continues, see a vet. If a foreign object is the cause, it must pass or need surgery.
Vomiting pale yellow fluid for about half a month, but energy is still good
Based on your description, the dog has vomited for about half a month but remains energetic; this is mainly considered to come from diet issues, chronic gastroenteritis, or intestinal parasite infection. If the diet is greasy or hard to digest, it burdens the gut and can trigger vomiting and other digestive problems. Second, chronic gastroenteritis can also cause frequent vomiting; in that case give some anti-inflammatory medicine and probiotics to improve it. In addition, if the dog is infected with internal parasites, the multiplying parasites damage the gut environment and cause vomiting. Find the cause of the vomiting first so you can apply the right treatment.
What is it like to keep an East German Shepherd?
The East German Shepherd is an excellent worker: strong, enduring, smart, and obedient, though its gut is a bit delicate. It needs daily exercise to burn energy.
What happens if a Teddy has many internal parasites?
Heavy internal parasites cause digestive issues - poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation. They steal nutrients, causing malnutrition, anemia, weight loss, dry coat, and poor growth. Some migrate to organs, causing cough, breathing trouble, fatigue, fast heart, and pale membranes.
