What happens if a puppy’s nose is dry?
A dry nose in a puppy can be caused by several things. First, just after waking or finishing intense exercise, the nose may be a little dry, which is normal. Second, when indoor air is very dry or the dog's water intake is low, the nose also gets dry; it is recommended to give the dog more water. In addition, skin dehydration or skin disease (such as demodex) can also cause a dry nose, usually with skin rashes, itching, and hair loss, which needs a prompt skin scraping at a vet to find the cause and treat. Finally, if the nose is dry and hot to the touch, it may signal a rising body temperature, with causes including respiratory infection, parvovirus, or distemper; if the dog also has lethargy, vomiting, a runny nose, or coughing, see a vet promptly.
No urination for over 24 hours, keeps licking the area, vulva swollen for a week (thought it was heat since she’s 8 months); one or two bowel movements a day, appetite okay, but low spirits
No urine for over 24 hours may be urinary blockage. If the bladder is full, get microscopy and urinalysis at a vet to tell infection from stone, then catheterize and treat. If the bladder isn't full, heat-related low water, hormone upset, or stress may be the cause — soothe her and encourage drinking; if still no urine, see a vet.
Its nose is dry and cracked with some peeling, appetite is okay, it doesn’t like to move — maybe the hind legs keep trembling and it can’t walk far. Sometimes it vomits.
A dry, cracked dog nose can be caused by high outside temperatures, insufficient water intake, a cold or fever, or other illnesses. Judge the cause from the actual situation; if it is from a dry environment, apply some moisturizer and give the dog more water. If the dog has a fever, provide physical cooling or fever-reducing medicine promptly. In addition, based on your description the dog also shows vomiting and trembling, so in this case take it to a vet for a thorough examination and targeted treatment based on the results.
My 12-year-old spayed female Cocker Spaniel had blood dripping from the urethra, frequent urination with little volume, and now white pus-like discharge. What’s the cause and treatment?
A spayed female with blood in urine, frequent scant urination, and discharge points to urinary disease such as infection, stones, or tumors. A urinalysis and abdominal X-ray at the vet are needed. For stones, ensure ample water intake.
