Does a Bichon Frise Really Need Its Puppy Coat Shaved? When Is the Best Time?
A Bichon's coat is fine and sparse at birth, but once the puppy coat sheds and new hair grows in, its looks improve dramatically. Many owners shave the puppy coat to speed this up — but is it necessary? Here's what you should know.
On the second day home it had diarrhea, was listless, and vomited clear fluid.
Diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy the second day home are often a stress reaction to a new environment. Give smectite powder and probiotics, keep it warm, and see a vet if unvaccinated or not improving.
What symptoms does a blocked tear duct cause in a Teddy?
A blocked tear duct causes overflowing tears, heavy stains, and constantly damp lower eyelids; long-term, slight hair loss below the eye. Clean daily with warm water on gauze and massage around the eye. Severe blockage may need vet flushing or surgery.
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.
Three days after the first vaccine I bathed it, then the next day it had a bit of cough and sneezing
Dog vaccines are modified-live vaccines, and within a week after vaccination the dog's resistance drops. So during this period, it is not recommended to walk the dog outside or to bathe it. Bathing at this time easily gives the dog a cold. If this happens, keep the dog warm promptly and give it some pet cold medicine, such as a product containing amoxicillin clavulanate. In addition, one week after vaccination, take the dog to a veterinary clinic to check whether its antibody level is adequate; if not, the dog needs another vaccine dose.
What common diseases affect Poodles?
Poodles commonly face colds, patellar dislocation, testicular cysts, and tear stains. Their small build makes knee problems likely; males may get cysts.
My roughly half-year-old Malinois seems to have eaten something too greasy — dehydrated, vomiting and diarrhea, lying down weak, body cold, moaning
From your description the dog is already dehydrated and needs prompt IV fluids at a vet, plus warmth. After first aid, run tests to find the cause. Greasy food alone rarely causes this — likely secondary gastroenteritis or pancreatitis needing targeted treatment.
My 40-something-day puppy has coughed for two days, like something is stuck – what’s wrong
A cough like choking may be upper respiratory infection, possibly progressing to lung infection if it brings up phlegm. In cold weather it may be a chill, kennel cough, or flu. Try pet anti-inflammatories (amox-clav, doxycycline) with cough syrups, keep warm; if no improvement in 2-3 days, see a vet; with lung infection add nebulization; viral needs interferon/parvo monoclonal.
Two days ago vomited yellow fluid with foam and food; today not eating, trembling, low spirits
Yellow vomit, no appetite, trembling, low spirits may be pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, or parvo. Unvaccinated: screen for parvo. Vaccinated: keep warm, give glucose to avoid low sugar/dehydration; if no more vomiting, give anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, probiotics for 2 days; else see a vet.
My two-month-old puppy trembles in its sleep, breathes rapidly, and eats less
A trembling puppy may have caught a chill; keep it warm with blankets and heating pads. Pet probiotics help the stomach, and cold medicine is needed if sneezing or fever appears.
