How do you treat a Poodle’s skin condition, and what medicines work best?

Treating a Poodle's skin condition starts with a vet skin scraping to identify the type — fungal, bacterial, parasitic, allergic, or endocrine. Treatment is then matched: antifungal ointment for fungus, antibacterial spray and oral meds for bacteria, parasite control for external parasites, antihistamines for allergic dermatitis, and gradual management for endocrine issues. Use an Elizabethan collar and keep the bedding clean.

My dog has a cold and a fever — what medicine brings the fever down quickly?

A cold and a fever are two separate issues that should be treated together. For the fever, use physical cooling or a dog-specific fever reducer; above 40°C, see a vet for an injection. The cold is a respiratory infection — treat it with a vet-recommended canine cold medicine. Address each symptom separately, and if other illnesses are present, consult a vet before more medication.

Since I woke up my cat has been sneezing constantly and very frequently. Is it a cold, and what medicine should I give?

Sneezing can be a sign of respiratory infection or merely a physiological reaction, so it does not always mean illness. With accompanying nasal discharge the cat is likely sick and a cat cold medicine helps; recurring or feverish cases warrant a vet visit and, if needed, a fever-reducing medication after a clear diagnosis.
