My dog recently developed small black spots on its body; I considered age spots but it is only four years old. Could it be from feeding fish oil too often? Also, this morning its stool was a bit loose with a little blood
If the skin only has black spots with no other symptoms, it is mainly considered a genetic trait or pigment deposition. For the loose stool with blood, causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, parvovirus, or distemper; see a vet. If a visit is hard, fast it and give broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.
It is the second day since the dog came home. Its stool is a bit loose and sometimes has a little blood, but energy and appetite are good. The pet store said it is a parasite issue and told us to come for an injection, but we worry it may have an underlying problem. What is the best treatment? Also, it has no crate yet and likes to sleep on the floor.
Loose stool with blood can be caused by indigestion, internal parasites, or viral infection. For a new dog, a full veterinary checkup is best to confirm the cause; if parasites are the issue, timely deworming plus vet-prescribed antibiotics and gut-repair medication will aid recovery.
My dog hasn’t been eating well these days, then vomits yellow fluid and yellow foam, and has soft, loose stools.
Vomiting yellow fluid and loose stools may indicate gastroenteritis or gastric ulcers; unvaccinated dogs could have a viral disease. Use broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-diarrhea and anti-vomiting meds, and probiotics; see a vet if no relief.
My dog had two loose stools, was not fed since purchase, the owner said it may be chilled, but it smells fishy. Could it be parvo?
Watery diarrhea may be indigestion, chill, or parasites, but parvo is possible. Try pet anti-inflammatory and probiotic meds, and use a parvo test strip; bloody tomato-like stool means urgent vet care.
My dog suddenly stopped eating, then vomited yellow fluid at night, had loose stools, drank cold water, improved with injections, but relapsed when stopped. Now it will not eat and is listless.
Recurring vomiting and diarrhea with appetite loss suggest gastritis or digestive disorder needing a vet diagnosis. Guessing at medication can harm the dog.
My dog started vomiting its food yesterday, is unsteady, trembling, shaking its head, had soft and loose stools, and has not eaten all day. No blood. What is wrong?
Vomiting, unsteadiness, trembling, loose stools, and refusal to eat may be enteritis from a blockage or serious diseases like distemper or parvo. Prompt vet testing is important.
My dog started vomiting on the afternoon of July 28; the first two were food, then after water it was clear fluid; by July 30 it stopped vomiting but had a little bloody stool, a drop or two each time; yesterday no blood but loose stool, no appetite, lies down a lot
Vomiting, bloody loose stool, poor appetite, and lethargy are common in digestive disease: parasites, bacterial or viral enteritis; if vaccines are incomplete, suspect parvovirus or coronavirus. See a vet for screening, fecal and blood tests; if something was eaten, rule out foreign-body blockage or perforation by X-ray and ultrasound, then treat with antivirals, antibiotics, hemostatics, anti-emetics, antidiarrheals, and fluids.
My dog started coughing last night, then retching, then vomiting clear sticky fluid with white foam; stool not loose but a bit black; gave anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, and probiotics; still coughing and vomiting about every ten minutes, sometimes productive, sometimes not
Coughing up white foam is usually phlegm from a respiratory infection caused by chills, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, or chronic bronchopneumonia; retching may be throat discomfort or gut infection. Have the vet diagnose the cause; if not, try doxycycline for cough, plus pet anti-inflammatory, and keep warm. If weak, poor appetite, lethargic, or feverish, check the lungs and rule out contagious disease.
My dog started a dry cough around 5 to 6 pm and it worsened, but was lively before; it stays in a hot factory by day and an AC room at night — could it be a cold? I also overfed it and the stool is loose
The dog may have an upper respiratory infection from bacteria or the big temperature swing between the hot factory and the AC room. Cough can also signal asthma, pneumonia, or other viral airway disease; a cold is a symptom, not a disease. Try a pet cough/anti-inflammatory medicine and keep it warm; see a vet if no improvement.
After a bath my dog coughs, won’t eat, and has loose, bloody stool—what’s wrong?
A dog that coughs, loses appetite, and has loose, bloody stool after a bath may have a cold, a respiratory infection, or a serious viral disease. It could also be enteritis or intestinal parasites, so a vet visit is needed.
