At what age can a dog hold its urine?
Most dogs can hold urine at 4–6 months. After learning, they urinate 1–3 times daily; more water = more often, but no longer frequent. To have them go outside, walk morning/noon/evening to avoid long holding that can cause bladder/kidney disease (stones, kidney failure).
What should I do about my dog’s soft stools?
Per the image, the dog has soft stools rather than vomiting. Common causes: enteritis, parasites, indigestion. If it ate a lot, likely indigestion—give probiotics and withhold food temporarily. Since the dog is a stray, parasite risk is high; check feces. Treat accordingly.
What happens if a puppy is walked too much?
Walking a puppy too much may cause the following problems. First, excessive exercise can lead to muscle strain, causing pain and discomfort. Second, over-exercise can negatively affect the puppy's bones, and especially while its bones are not fully developed it can easily lead to fractures or other skeletal problems. Finally, if the weather is hot, prolonged outdoor activity easily makes the puppy tired and thirsty, and may even cause dehydration or heatstroke. Therefore, to protect the puppy's health, adjust walking time according to its age, weight, and health.
My cat ran out a few days ago and came back today, but as soon as it returned it kept foaming at the mouth and vomited for almost two hours, then threw up something unidentifiable, and after that started foaming again. What should I do?
Frequent vomiting in cats can be caused by many things, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, liver disease, kidney disease, intestinal obstruction or infectious disease, and food or drug poisoning. Based on your description, the cat vomited continuously after coming home from outside, so it may have accidentally eaten a poison outdoors causing toxicity, or it may have eaten unclean food leading to gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal blockage, or contracted an infectious disease causing frequent vomiting. If the cat vomits whatever it eats, it is recommended to withhold food and water promptly to avoid burdening the digestive tract, and take it to a veterinary hospital for examination as soon as possible. The veterinarian will give a corresponding treatment plan based on symptoms and test results; giving medication at home may worsen the condition. Also, keep the cat in a clean environment and prevent it from contacting harmful substances.
Today my dog went out to play on its own and came back listless, keeps dry-heaving, and is hiding under the sofa.
A dog that comes home listless, dry-heaving, and hiding under the sofa after going out to play may be extremely uncomfortable - it could have external injuries causing pain, internal injuries from a car accident, or stress and depression from being hit or bullied, all of which are possible. Here are some suggestions: 1. Observe the dog's behavior and symptoms - besides lethargy, dry heaving, and hiding, check whether there is loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc. If these symptoms appear, it has likely picked up a parasite or infectious disease outdoors. 2. Check the dog's body - carefully look for obvious external injuries or other abnormalities such as lumps or pain. 3. That day, provide the dog a quiet and comfortable environment with adequate water and food, and see whether it slowly starts eating and eliminating normally, avoiding excessive activity or over-stimulation. If the dog continues to refuse food and water, keeps dry-heaving, and remains lethargic, it is recommended to contact a veterinarian promptly for further diagnosis and treatment.
My rabbit has been trembling since yesterday, low energy, though appetite is okay, and feels warm. It normally loves to run around but these two days is unusually inactive and behaves oddly. But its droppings are normal.
A rabbit can tremble for many reasons - fright, nervousness, cold or hot weather, a chill or cold, or illness causing pain or fever. In summer, if kept in hot outdoor conditions it may breathe rapidly and shake; it is recommended to keep the rabbit in a comfortably temperature-controlled environment and observe. Given your description of trembling together with a warm body surface and lowered spirits, illness is quite likely; take its temperature, and above 39.5 C indicates fever. Such diseases can be hard to spot, so a vet visit is advised to rule out infectious disease such as rabbit pasteurellosis, an acute febrile septicemic illness that causes fever and trembling.
How can I stop my Bull Terrier from biting people?
Bull Terriers bite from nervousness, fear and lack of socialization, so give early socialization with other dogs and people to reduce aggression. Basic obedience training ('sit', 'stay', 'stand') helps control behavior. Outdoors, keep it leashed and control its range if it lunges or tries to bite.
What happens if an unvaccinated dog goes outside?
An unvaccinated dog outdoors faces many health risks because low antibodies let it catch distemper, infectious hepatitis, rabies and other diseases that can be life-threatening. Vaccinate early and avoid outings before that; if it must go out, keep it in a safe, clean environment away from other dogs and wildlife.
What happens if I don’t trim my dog’s nails?
Normally untrimmed nails are fine because dogs grind them down, but without tools or exercise they overgrow, curl and may pierce the skin or affect walking and posture. Long nails also trap dirt and cause odor, so check regularly and trim when long.
How fast can a Dogo Argentino climb mountains?
The Dogo Argentino is a very large, athletic breed with high endurance and speed, well suited to physical activities like mountain climbing, running, and hunting. Climbing speed varies by size and condition; a healthy adult generally climbs at 5–8 km/h and can sustain it for hours. Note their build makes them less suited to endurance sports, so train stamina and acclimation first.
