My two-month-old puppy trembles, breathes rapidly, and eats less; could it be parvo
Trembling, rapid breathing, and poor appetite in a puppy are unlikely to be parvovirus and more likely a respiratory infection or calcium deficiency. Keep it warm, supplement calcium and vitamins, and see a vet if symptoms persist.
My puppy was bathed at the clinic, caught a chill on the way home, rode an hour in the car, and since 7:50 has been coughing, gagging, and vomiting clear fluid; two soft stools; given doxycycline. What should I do?
Coughing and gagging after a bath and chill are usually a respiratory infection; doxycycline with an expectorant can help. Keep the dog warm and well-nourished. If it worsens or shows other signs, suspect viral disease and see a vet.
Labrador: slight rhythmic twitching of front limbs during sleep, also involving the head; touching the head shows something being pushed up. During the day it nods rhythmically when sitting or standing, more noticeable when calm. Appetite and energy normal, no fever/vomit/diarrhea. Suspect ear infection; cleaning the left ear at night got a strong reaction. Symptoms only clear on video.
Mild sleep twitching is often dreaming or cold, which is normal. Since appetite and energy are normal, that is the likely cause; keep it warm. If twitching is frequent, see a vet to rule out disease.
