Dog Cold: How to Tell and What Medicine to Use
Like people, dogs get colds and fevers. Suspect a cold with shivering, poor appetite, and a rectal temperature over 40°C. Treatment clears heat, fights inflammation, and prevents secondary infection; keep the dog dry and warm and get sunlight and exercise to prevent recurrence.
Foods That Can Kill or Harm Your Dog
Many common foods are dangerous for dogs — some fatal. Never feed cooked bones (especially chicken/duck), too much liver (vitamin A toxicity), onions/garlic (blood-cell rupture, bloody urine), or chocolate. Also avoid grapes, certain fruits, risky veggies, raw egg/meat, dairy, and high-salt or high-sugar foods; keep alcohol, coffee, and tea away entirely.
Dog Fever: What Medicine and How to Treat
Normal dog temperature is 38–39°C; 39.5°C is a fever, 40.5°C high. Use dog-only fever reducers—never human pills (acetaminophen can poison dogs). Confirm no serious disease at a clinic, then use meds plus physical cooling (alcohol wipes, ice pack); if fever lasts 3 days, hospitalize.
Why Do Dogs Tear Up So Much?
Frequent tearing and stains in dogs come from many causes, hereditary overproduction, entropion, diet, inflamed tear glands, ear infections, or short-nosed breeds. Most are manageable once the underlying cause is found, so watch your dog closely and see a vet when home care is not enough.
Common Dog Paw Problems and How to Treat Them
A dog's paw is a complex, useful structure — shock absorption, sweating, warmth, digging, self-defense — but its many folds and hairs trap debris, so it easily reddens, inflames, sheds fur, or even ulcers and oozes. The main paw troubles are injuries from sharp objects, cracked pads, bacterial or fungal infection, and eczema. Trim nails, wipe paws after walks, and see a vet for deep or infected wounds.
Acute Pancreatitis in Cats and Dogs
Acute pancreatitis is self-digestion of the pancreas by its own enzymes, striking dogs far more often than cats and showing as sudden belly pain, shock, and peritonitis. Triggers range from bile-duct blockage and fatty meals to infections and certain drugs; treatment focuses on shutting down pancreatic secretion, controlling infection and pain, and correcting fluids — and the hemorrhagic form carries a guarded prognosis.
Treating Dog Vomiting with Traditional Chinese Medicine
Vomiting in dogs comes from a stomach that can't settle and rebels upward — driven by cold-damp invasion, spoiled food, or weak digestion — and TCM sorts it into heat, food-stagnation, and deficiency-cold types, each with its own pattern and formula (Baihu Tang, Baohe Wan, Lizhong Wan). Match the pattern to the remedy rather than treating every vomit the same way.
Signs Your Dog Isn’t Getting Enough Exercise
Dogs need daily exercise to burn energy and stay fit — without it they pack on weight, bark for attention, chew the furniture, sleep poorly, and bolt out the door. Leash up for walks, and on bad-weather days burn energy with indoor games.
Symptoms and Treatment of Keratitis in Dogs
Keratitis is inflammation of the cornea — common in small long-haired breeds — and ranges from surface roughness to deep pain, pus, and even perforation. Treatment means flushing the eye, antibacterials to prevent iris adhesion, and atropine, with vet care for severe cases.
Symptoms and Treatment of Dog Concussion
A dog concussion refers to a brief brain dysfunction that occurs immediately after the head suffers a blow. Clinical manifestations include brief coma, recent memory loss, and symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting, with no positive signs on neurological examination. It is the mildest type of brain injury and is mostly curable after treatment.
