How is a Bulldog’s digestion?
Bulldogs have fragile stomachs and easily get soft stool, gas, frequent farting, and diarrhea. Feed a low-allergen, easily digestible food in fixed amounts, use a slow feeder, and add pet probiotics regularly.
Is it good to feed my dog Purina Pro Plan dog food?
Pro Plan is Nestle Purina's premium pet food brand with a long history and reliable quality, offering formulas for size, age, and health. But many formulas contain grains like soy, corn, and wheat that don't suit grain-allergic dogs, and lower meat content means slower weight gain and larger stools.
What happens if my dog eats amoxicillin by accident?
A small amount of amoxicillin usually causes only mild stomach upset—vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite—that passes soon; give water to help flush. A large amount can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and kidney or liver damage, even organ failure.
How can I make my dog’s coat beautiful?
To beautify a dog's coat: brush 3-5 times weekly to remove loose fur and boost circulation; bathe every 1-2 weeks (every 1-2 months in winter) with pet shampoo and dry well. Add coat-nourishing supplements like fish oil, lecithin, vitamins, and egg yolk.
How is fungal skin disease in dogs treated?
Dog fungal skin disease is treated with pet antifungal meds such as terbinafine spray, compounded ketoconazole ointment, or itraconazole ointment. For wider infection, medicated baths help, and clipping fur around the spot plus disinfecting the environment speeds recovery.
How can I help my dog release gas from its stomach?
To relieve a dog's bloating and gas, gently massage its belly left to right along the gut. Pet probiotics and a short walk aid digestion, and avoiding gas-producing foods like beans helps. Use a slow feeder if it eats too fast.
Is my dog’s condition serious, and what medicine should it take?
From results, mild kidney damage and high total bile acids, possibly acid-reflux gastritis. Fast 8h to reduce gut irritation and prevent vomiting. If no more vomiting, try pet anti-vomiting meds (Zhitu Ning, metoclopramide, cimetidine) with antibiotics (amoxicillin, cephalexin). But oral meds may irritate gut and re-trigger vomiting—better to IV at clinic with anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory shots.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
My just-weaned puppy came home and has been passing jelly-like stool; I only gave it lactose-free milk, but its spirits are good and appetite is fine
Jelly-like mucus stool in a just-weaned pup is likely indigestion from the new environment and diet change. Feed plain congee or warm-water-softened puppy kibble, keep the diet light, and give pet probiotics to restore gut function. Keep observing; if it worsens, get a fecal exam for parasites or infection.
