My 7-year-old Corgi had vomiting, no bowel movement, then died of shock during a cephalosporin IV after pancreatitis and bowel blockage diagnosis
Without a detailed report a precise diagnosis is impossible, but confirmed pancreatitis with large-intestine blockage is critical and risky. The shock and death during a cephalosporin drip could also indicate a drug allergy, so the cause was likely the disease or an allergic reaction.
My cat has a tear film, thick eye discharge, and crusted, heat-like sores on the lip – 3 days, no improvement with ofloxacin, chloramphenicol or detox drops – what is it?
The photo suggests a respiratory or viral infection; mouth discharge points to calicivirus. Treat with interferon and antibiotics, plus an antibacterial oral spray and neomycin eye drops.
My cat has been hospitalized five days for hypertrophic heart and pulmonary edema with oxygen, diuretics and fluids, but is worsening – what now?
Those treatments are necessary, but add other medications per the vet. Poor response may mean weak drug absorption; severe breathing trouble warrants a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and transfer to a better-equipped hospital.
How to build up a one-year-old German Shepherd?
A thin GSD may be disease or poor nutrition. Feed high-quality kibble in small frequent meals for enough protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, minerals. Add meat, eggs, goat milk, vegetables, fruit for extra nutrition. Deworm regularly to stop parasites stealing nutrients. If weight keeps dropping, check for gut or endocrine disease.
A shepherd dog brought from Shandong; it was fine when it arrived at a factory with steel, bricks, and cement, but recently it has teary eyes, some redness, a runny nose, retching (dry cough?), and diarrhea. It doesn’t look well; please help.
Watery eyes, retching, and a runny nose suggest a respiratory infection. If unvaccinated, also consider distemper, adenovirus, coronavirus, or mycoplasma/chlamydia infection. Usually the dog carries a viral disease and, after the move and the stress of a new environment, its resistance drops and the virus flares up. Prompt vet testing is advised.
What breed is my dog? Searches say either a rural Chinese dog or a Caucasian Shepherd
From its features, it is essentially a Chinese rural dog (Tugou), quite different from a Caucasian Shepherd. Caucasian Shepherds are large with thick, dense coats and bulky limbs even as puppies, usually gray or brown. The dog in the photo has a pointed nose, small mouth and short coat, and Caucasians are rare restricted breeds in China.
What symptoms appear if a dog is allergic to cephalosporins?
Cephalosporin allergy in dogs usually causes rapid breathing and difficulty breathing, and in severe cases anaphylactic shock, possibly with rash and itching. Do a sensitivity test before use under veterinary guidance.
My cat has had diarrhea for days and its rear looks like this (photo); what’s wrong?
Long-term diarrhea can inflame the anus and infect the skin, even causing prolapse. Find the cause (bacterial, parasitic, or viral) at a vet and treat with meds and fluids.
How Long for a German Shepherd’s Ears to Stand?
Standing ears take about 4 months total. They start at 2 to 3 months, repeatedly flop, and finish at 7 to 8 months. Calcium and sun help.
2-year-old spayed French Bulldog, suddenly blind in early January; before blindness hit her chin falling off a bed. Eye pressure and retina were fine, no MRI; glaucoma drops and eye-inflammation meds for a month, still blind. Could it be hydrocephalus? Will ignoring it risk life?
Dog blindness has many causes; if eye exams rule out eye disease and retinal nerve issues, brain tumor or pressure, even clotting disorders causing intraocular bleeding and blindness are possible. Thorough eye and body exams find the cause early.
