A rice-grain-sized flesh mole grew on the head, shaped like a rice grain with a black dot at its base — what is the cause?
Hello, the mole-like growth on your dog's head is a tick. Ticks are common external parasites that feed on animal blood and can transmit diseases such as babesiosis, Lyme disease, and hemorrhagic fever to their host. Therefore, check the rest of the dog's body for more ticks, then apply alcohol to the bite area and surrounding skin; once the tick is paralyzed or suffocates, it will detach on its own. If it does not fall off, use tweezers to pull it straight out and burn it. After removal, disinfect the skin promptly and keep up with regular deworming.
How to help a Golden Retriever grow up healthy?
To ensure healthy growth, choose high-quality, palatable kibble fed on a fixed schedule by age and health, and exercise daily for bones and mood. At the right age, deworm and vaccinate to avoid parasites and infectious disease.
What happens if you don’t deworm a dog?
Skipping deworming invites fleas, ticks, mites, and worms that steal nutrition (anemia, weight loss) and cause itching, hair loss, dermatitis, and gut issues. Deworm monthly (external) and every 2-3 months (internal).
Scottish Terrier
The Scottish Terrier is one of Britain's oldest terrier breeds, a small, compact and dignified dog standing about 10 inches at the shoulder. Alert, courageous and self-assured, it is affectionate with people yet can be feisty toward other dogs.
My dog got itchy on the tail the day after a grooming bath, with small red spots, then it spread to both sides of the belly. It got better at home but red skin bumps flare up badly after going outside — doctor, are these red rash bumps?
Common causes of red bumps on a dog include allergies, folliculitis, fungal infection, and parasite infection. Because the bumps recur, take the dog for a skin test to identify the cause. External parasites can cause bumps through biting, requiring deworming.
My puppy has hair loss, red swollen skin, and scabs on its face, nose, and eyelids
Causes may be allergies (food, plants, chemicals), secondary fungal or bacterial infection, or demodex mites from poor hygiene and no deworming. A skin scrape is needed to confirm; use an Elizabethan collar, avoid grass, feed a single bland diet, and deworm monthly.
What can dogs eat, and what can’t they eat?
Scientific feeding: proper kibble, regular deworming, annual vaccines/exams, vet care when sick. Know forbidden foods: chocolate, onion/garlic family, mushrooms, oily food, sweets, salty food, avocado, grapes/raisins, plum, cherry, egg white, spoiled food, cold food, sharp bones, raw eggs, milk—avoid accidental ingestion harming life.
What dewormer can I use on a pregnant dog?
During pregnancy, dewormers are generally not advised. If truly needed, choose a safer product, preferably a topical all-in-one (internal and external) drop, from a safe, legitimate source. Dose strictly by weight—no overdose, to avoid strong stimulation or harm.
Can You Deworm and Vaccinate a Cat at the Same Time?
Don't deworm and vaccinate a cat together — vaccination already stresses a cat and lowers immunity, and adding deworming can worsen gut upset or even make the vaccine fail. Space them a week apart, deworm first, and watch for allergic reaction after the shot.
My dog has a bump on its eyelid but is otherwise fine and shows no discomfort
Red bumps on a dog's eyelid are often caused by insect bites, external parasites, fungal or bacterial infection, or allergic dermatitis. A vet should do a skin scraping to identify the cause and treat it with deworming, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatories.
