What You Should Know About Vomiting in Cats and Dogs
Vomiting in pets splits into physiologic, from eating too fast or wrong food, and pathologic, from disease. Causes range from diet and gut issues to toxins and organ disease, and the timing of vomiting hints at the source, so see a vet when signs persist.
Why Dogs Sneeze and What to Do
A sneeze isn't always serious — excitement, dust, or perfume can trigger one that passes on its own. But a sneeze that lingers, especially with nasal discharge, can point to a cold or a deeper problem (upper-respiratory, even neurological), and warrants a vet visit before complications set in.
What happens when a dog is sick?
Signs vary by disease but often include lethargy, poor appetite, and inactivity. Respiratory disease adds sneezing, cough, breathing trouble; gut issues bring arched back, pain, diarrhea, vomiting; neurological disease brings seizures, tremors, foam.
I bathed the dog a few days ago; after that its hind legs were unsteady, and it’s been like this for days. Today it keeps falling and cries out.
Unsteady walking and falling usually aren't from bathing. In puppies it's often nutritional bone-development issues; in seniors it may be arthritis or neurological problems. Hypoglycemia also causes this. See a vet.
Why does my dog walk unsteadily with its front legs stiff and straight?
Based on your description, the dog has stiff front legs and panting. Causes range widely - bones, muscles, nerves, cardiovascular, or endocrine. Soft-tissue injury from play or walking can cause unsteadiness and, when severe, stiffness. Arthritis brings sharp pain and stiffness, and neurological issues like spinal or cervical injury can also be responsible. See a vet if it persists.

Sudden nonstop circling after birth may be postpartum anxiety, pain, or other issues like ear infection or neurological problems. See a vet if it continues.
What Happens If a Dog Eats Raw Egg White?
Raw egg white can cause vitamin H (biotin) deficiency. It contains avidin, which binds biotin and blocks absorption. Long-term intake may cause skin inflammation, hair loss, anemia, neurological issues. Feed cooked yolks; avoid raw white.
Why Does My Dog Keep Pacing Indoors?
Indoor pacing usually means your dog needs to burn off energy, is excited, stressed, or in heat. Rule out pain or neurological issues if pacing comes with howling or unresponsiveness, and ensure daily exercise plus a calm environment.
Why Do Dogs Develop Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease in dogs is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted through tick bites, with only a small fraction of infected dogs showing symptoms such as fever, joint swelling, or kidney issues. A vet confirms diagnosis via blood or urine tests, and treatment centers on a course of antibiotics.
What Is Storage Disease in Dogs?
Storage disease is a hereditary metabolic disorder where certain substances build up abnormally in the body's tissues. The two most reported forms in veterinary medicine are lysosomal storage disease and glycogen storage disease. It strikes dogs and cats, is very rare, and appears early in puppies and kittens because it is inherited. Nerve-related signs include poor growth, ataxia, seizures, exercise intolerance, behavior changes, and vision loss. Diagnosis uses blood, urine, imaging, biopsy, and enzyme tests; care is supportive, and affected dogs should never be bred.
