Can a Dog with Folliculitis Bathe? Should the Area Stay Dry?
Dogs with folliculitis can and should be bathed — a medicated bath even speeds healing — but use a pet shampoo, not human products, and dry thoroughly afterwards. Treatment pairs topical meds and medicated baths with oral drugs for severe cases, and starting early costs far less time and money.
Why Human Cold Medicine Is Dangerous for Pets
Because cats and dogs metabolize drugs differently from people, they may not process ingredients like acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, and caffeine, and even small amounts can poison them, sometimes fatally. Most over-the-counter human cold medicines are unsafe for pets. For mild cases when pet-specific medicine is unavailable, gentle herbal options exist, but vet care is best for serious symptoms.
What to Do When Your Dog Has Urinary Stones
Urinary stones — in the kidney, ureter, bladder, or urethra — show up as strained, painful, or bloody urination. Knowing the stone type and location guides whether dissolution, diet, medicine, or surgery is the right call.
Postpartum Urinary Dribbling in Cats
Postpartum urinary dribbling or incontinence in cats comes from depleted qi and blood after birth, leaving the central qi too weak to hold urine.

A dog's abscess (pyoderma) comes from infection with pyogenic bacteria. Have a vet examine the dog and tailor treatment to how severe it is: serious cases need both local and systemic therapy — antibiotics, antiseptic ointments, and medicated baths — while mild cases can be handled at home by cleaning and disinfecting the spot daily and applying an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial ointment.
What Are Cat Bladder Stones and How to Care for Them
Cats that don't drink enough can develop stones.
Why Is a 3-Month-Old Puppy Coughing from a Cold?
Puppies have weak immunity, so it is common for them to catch a cold and cough when the weather changes or temperatures drop. Prompt treatment is needed to prevent secondary infections such as pneumonia. This article explains the causes and treatment of cold-related cough in puppies.
Coughing and runny nose
A coughing, runny dog may have a chill or infections like distemper or parainfluenza. If severe and unvaccinated, screen for infectious disease first. If it is only a common cold, give anti-inflammatory and cough medicine such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, doxycycline, or herbal cough formulas. For distemper, follow the vet.
