My dog keeps drooling after eating smectite powder and Yunnan Baiyao (a hemostatic herbal medicine) – what should I do?
If the drooling started only after the Yunnan Baiyao, it may be drug irritation - rinse the mouth to dilute the drug and watch for more swallowing. If the drooling is not from it, or other severe symptoms appear, take the dog to a vet to find the cause and treat.
My dog has had what looked like ringworm since last month. I fed it an over-the-counter herbal remedy for two or three days with no effect, and now I don’t know which medicine to use. I need a vet’s advice.
From the photo there's no obvious hair loss or scaling, so it may not be fungal but allergic. Skin disease needs a vet exam to diagnose; if allergic, find and remove the trigger and desensitize.
Can You Treat Cat Vomiting with Chinese Medicine?
Vomiting in cats ranges from mild nausea to refractory vomiting with bile or blood, and the underlying cause — diet, toxins, or disease — decides the treatment. A traditional herbal formula (banxia, dried ginger, persimmon calyx, dried tangerine peel in honey pills) calms many types of vomiting, while toxic cases need an injectable antidote and severe dehydration needs fluids first. Always keep water available and resume small, easily digested meals once vomiting stops — never starve the cat.

How do I give a Teddy dog traditional Chinese medicine?
To administer traditional Chinese medicine to a Teddy, you can refer to the following method. First, determine the required dose of the herbal medicine based on the Teddy's weight and condition. Generally, the dose should be calculated according to the dog's weight and given per the veterinarian's recommendation. Second, draw the prepared herbal medicine into a syringe, then control the dog's body and head and slowly pour the medicine into its mouth from the corner of the lips; after pouring, pinch the dog's mouth and tilt its head upward to ensure it swallows the medicine completely. Finally, because herbal medicine is often bitter and may affect the Teddy's appetite, you can give the dog a little other food after dosing to suppress the aftertaste.
My 2-month Corgi, 1.65 kg, has coughed 12 days after a cold, on herbal cold granules and amoxicillin, still coughing at night—what to do?
A dog still coughing after 12 days of cold medicine is abnormal; a simple cold with warmth, immunity and meds usually heals in a week, and human cold medicine is not advised—use pet drugs like Cefadroxil or canine Florfenicol. If no improvement, it may be viral respiratory infection like kennel cough, distemper, parainfluenza or infectious bronchitis, even pneumonia; get a contagious-disease screen and X-ray at a vet for targeted treatment.
