My puppy is passing white stuff
A just-weaned puppy passing white stool points to gut disorder from milk, spoiled formula, bacterial or parasite infection, or white food, even passing clear jelly-like mucosa. Adjust the diet to normal food, add some probiotics, and if it persists with low energy or appetite, see a vet for a fecal test and deworm carefully by weight to protect the gut lining.
Where can I buy fipronil; is it available at regular human pharmacies?
Fipronil is not sold in regular human pharmacies; it is usually available at veterinary clinics and online pet pharmacies. It is a broad-spectrum insecticide for fleas, ticks, and other external parasites on dogs and cats; if ingested it is toxic to people and animals, so it is sold only as a topical drop and must never be taken by mouth. Common fipronil-based external parasite products include spot-on drops and sprays.
My Corgi puppy ate dozens of dried apricots, started vomiting last night and is still vomiting, expelling many apricots — how to relieve it, should I go to the hospital, is a probiotic okay?
Frequent vomiting after a puppy eats many dried apricots should not be managed at home with probiotics alone; take it to the vet for anti-emetics and antibiotics. If you cannot go at once, stop all food, let the gut rest, and only after vomiting stops give a little probiotic, watching closely; see a vet if vomiting persists or brings pain, diarrhea, or poor appetite.

What happens if a Golden Retriever drinks too little water?

What happens if a Golden Retriever eats rice?
Eating rice does not harm a Golden Retriever, since rice is mainly carbohydrate that converts to energy.
