What happens if a dog’s respiratory infection becomes severe?
A severe respiratory infection can cause a range of complications: inflammation of the trachea, bronchi, or lungs leading to difficult breathing, constant coughing, rapid breathing, and reduced stamina. It may also cause fever with lethargy, poor appetite, and low energy, and prolonged high fever can damage the nervous system and leave sequelae. Repeated or long-untreated infections may become chronic, such as chronic bronchitis or pneumonia, affecting quality of life and lifespan.
How can I make my dog grow faster?
Growing too fast burdens bones, so add nutrition gradually. Pick a balanced, digestible, high-protein food; feed small frequent meals on a schedule, increasing slowly. Exercise daily to aid digestion and build muscle, but avoid long/hard exercise that harms developing joints. Monitor weight for steady growth.
My dog licked a drop of spoiled milk on the floor
Spoiled milk can cause diarrhea or vomiting, but a small lick may do little. Watch; if no symptoms, likely fine. If diarrhea or vomiting appears, give warm water and pet probiotics; seek care if worse.
My 5-year-old, 3 kg male Poodle played outside three days ago and now has ongoing vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite, and a temperature of 42°C—what medication should be prescribed?
Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite, with outdoor exposure—consider infectious disease like parvovirus. If not fully vaccinated, high risk. Get virus screening; if parvovirus, treat. If vaccinated, likely gastroenteritis. Still need exam to confirm.
How good is Pure & Natural (Bernatina) dog food?
This dog food has a relatively high protein content and a well-balanced nutrition profile that meets standards such as AAFCO and GB/T, satisfying a dog's growth needs. Many formulas add deep-sea fish, seaweed, and fish oil, which help improve coat condition. However, some products include menadione (vitamin K3), a controversial synthetic vitamin that may add strain to the liver, and certain formulas use pet-food flavor enhancers as palatants with a high proportion of meat meal.

How can I regulate my dog’s digestive system?
Ways to regulate a dog's gut include: pick a low-allergen, easily digestible prescription gastrointestinal diet suited to the dog's age, weight, and health, and feed on a fixed schedule. Add a suitable amount of pet probiotics to balance gut flora and aid recovery. Keep the diet simple - avoid greasy, spicy, or irritating foods - and keep food fresh with plenty of water, cleaning bowls regularly to reduce bacterial infection.
My dog suddenly stopped eating; thought it was enteritis, treatment helped a bit but then it stopped eating and became very weak, couldn’t walk. Blood test showed a sudden drop in red blood cells; it just got a transfusion.
Low red-cell count can come from anemia, poor nutrition, toxins, infection, or disease; causes include internal bleeding or chronic illness. Further tests are needed. Ingested drugs/toxins or distemper can also lower red cells and appetite.
How can I get my dog to eat only dog food?
To build good eating habits: choose a palatable, easily digestible kibble and feed at fixed times and amounts so the dog learns to eat on schedule. Avoid too many treats or table scraps that encourage pickiness. If the dog refuses kibble, mix it with favorite foods and gradually increase the kibble ratio until fully switched. More daily exercise also boosts appetite.
