Why does a puppy get myocarditis?
Puppy myocarditis can come from infection, autoimmune reaction, genetics, heart parasites, or malnutrition. Pathogens like parvovirus, coronavirus, and infectious hepatitis virus can trigger it, as can heart parasites or poor nutrition. The cause must be found for proper treatment.
Is it good to buy a 3-month-old Pomeranian?
A 3-month Pomeranian is a great choice: weaned, well-developed, easy to raise, and not yet attached, so it adapts easily. Ensure full vaccines (distemper, parvo, rabies) and keep up deworming.
What do you think of Ramical deworming spray?
Its main ingredient is fipronil, which works within 30 minutes to kill fleas, ticks, and lice on dogs and cats. The formula is gentle—the drug stays in the sebaceous glands and doesn't enter the blood—so puppies and kittens can use it. But put an E-collar on to stop licking and poisoning.
Very watery stool, can’t even pick it up, soft stool for two days, reduced food, even two drops of blood
Based on your description, soft stool with blood at the end suggests you should watch the dog's energy. If bright, it's likely food intolerance or indigestion causing hemorrhagic enteritis, but parasites or viruses can't be ruled out - get a fecal test at the vet.
How effective is Revolution (selamectin) at removing mites?
Revolution's selamectin is gentle and effective against mites, and also kills worms, fleas, lice, and ear mites while preventing heartworm. It acts slowly, so it's best for prevention; heavy infestations need ivermectin-based vet treatment.
What happens if a young Golden Retriever eats raw meat?
Raw meat risks parasite and bacterial infections (salmonella, E. coli), obesity and unbalanced nutrition, and digestive upset like diarrhea and vomiting in puppies with limited digestion.
What happens if a puppy eats fake or counterfeit deworming medicine?
The reaction depends on the fake medicine's ingredients and dose. If it only contains inert fillers, it simply won't work and parasites keep multiplying — just use a real dewormer. If it contains harmful ingredients in large doses, it can poison the dog (vomiting, diarrhea, organ damage, even death). Buy dewormers from legitimate channels.
The day before yesterday it had diarrhea with blood at the end; I gave Revolution (topical dewormer), probiotics, and smectite powder. Yesterday the stool was formed, but early this morning it had diarrhea again
Diarrhea with blood in dogs can have various causes, including indigestion, malabsorption, digestive tract injury, parasite infection, enteritis, and viral infection. Based on your description, the dog still had diarrhea after deworming and medication, which suggests the cause may not be parasites — the medicine didn't match the problem. Take the dog to a vet for relevant tests and apply targeted treatment based on the results.
A rice-grain-sized flesh mole grew on the head, shaped like a rice grain with a black dot at its base — what is the cause?
Hello, the mole-like growth on your dog's head is a tick. Ticks are common external parasites that feed on animal blood and can transmit diseases such as babesiosis, Lyme disease, and hemorrhagic fever to their host. Therefore, check the rest of the dog's body for more ticks, then apply alcohol to the bite area and surrounding skin; once the tick is paralyzed or suffocates, it will detach on its own. If it does not fall off, use tweezers to pull it straight out and burn it. After removal, disinfect the skin promptly and keep up with regular deworming.
Should it take anti-inflammatory medicine or what?
Hello. From the photo, swelling and scabs at the eyes and mouth are mainly from parasite infection leading to bacterial dermatitis. Get a vet diagnosis; if parasites, deworm. For the inflammation, use oral anti-inflammatories and topical antibiotic ointment.
