My Newly Bought Golden Retriever Has Heavy Tear Stains, Lies Still, and Keeps Wanting to Vomit
A newly bought dog with these signs is likely ill - screen for infectious and respiratory disease. Lying still may mean exhaustion or dehydration; IV fluids may be needed. Heavy tear staining suggests inflammation, possibly distemper, parvovirus, or other infection.
What happens if a Golden Retriever exercises too much?
Too much exercise can negatively affect a Golden's health. Beyond its limit, paw pads may wear, get injured, or bleed, affecting walking. Over-exercise wears joints and causes inflammation and pain. Long walking or running can also dehydrate it. Control exercise, rest, and feed/water in time.
My puppy hasn’t eaten for three days, only vomits, and today it only drinks water and throws it up right after.
Vomiting right after drinking suggests gut disease or pancreatitis. After 3 days with no food the dog is weak, so take it for IV fluids and energy plus diagnosis. Delay risks hypoglycemia, dehydration, shock, death.
Not scratching, so probably not itchy; thick crust on leg joint
From the photo, the thick crust on the dog's elbow is likely thickened skin from rubbing the floor. Disinfect it, though it rarely returns to normal.
My just-weaned puppy came home and has been passing jelly-like stool; I only gave it lactose-free milk, but its spirits are good and appetite is fine
Jelly-like mucus stool in a just-weaned pup is likely indigestion from the new environment and diet change. Feed plain congee or warm-water-softened puppy kibble, keep the diet light, and give pet probiotics to restore gut function. Keep observing; if it worsens, get a fecal exam for parasites or infection.
Why does my Samoyed dig at the ground?
Many reasons: instinct, temperature regulation, venting emotion, nail filing, territory, destruction. Dogs bury food by instinct—Samoyeds may bury food/toys. In heat, digging finds cool ground to cool down. When anxious/restless, digging relieves emotion.
It had diarrhea after eating. For two days I fed chicken breast and broccoli and no diarrhea, then went back to kibble and it had diarrhea again, with gas then a sudden rush.
Diarrhea on kibble may mean it hasn't adjusted to the new food or is allergic to an ingredient. Mix a little kibble into the old food and raise the ratio slowly; switch brands if it persists, using single-protein grain-free hypoallergenic food and probiotics.
Which colors are Border Collies most sensitive to?
Dogs perceive yellow and blue best, so Border Collies prefer toys in those colors. Choose yellow or blue toys to catch their interest.
What happens when a puppy is unwell?
An unwell puppy may show reduced appetite, lethargy, sleep changes, and restlessness - hiding in corners or becoming clingy. Gut issues bring diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, or blood in stool, and many illnesses raise temperature above 39.5 C. See a vet to find the cause.
What fruits can’t a Husky eat?
Fruits a Husky cannot eat include grapes, avocado, cherries, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and persimmon. Grapes are very harmful to dogs; even a small amount can damage the spleen and cause acute kidney failure. Avocado contains persin, which causes stomach upset in dogs and may lead to breathing difficulty and fluid around the heart. Cherries contain cyanide, which is quite toxic to dogs. Owners must learn a dog's dietary restrictions to avoid harming it unintentionally.
