How can I make my Rottweiler stronger?
To build a stronger Rottweiler: first provide balanced nutrition — high-quality dog food, meat, and vegetables for enough protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, and minerals. Second, give moderate exercise like walking, running, swimming, and play to build muscle and bone and improve stamina, but avoid over-exercising to prevent injury. Finally, if the dog is especially thin, have a vet check for parasites, gut disease, or other health issues.
What is canine ileocecal pyogranuloma?
A canine ileocecal pyogranuloma is commonly known as cecal inflammation or a cecal cyst. There are many causes, including scratches from sharp foreign objects, intestinal parasite infections, and viral infections such as parvovirus or distemper. If a dog develops this condition, the specific cause must first be identified so that targeted treatment can be given. If the cecal inflammation is caused by intestinal parasites, the dog should be dewormed and given medications that repair the intestinal mucosa to promote recovery of gut health.

Cough with white mucus can be indigestion, parasites, virus, or food blockage; white foam suggests gut lining damage, possibly from bones piercing the gut. See a vet.
Why does my puppy have black stool?
