Why Dogs Lose Appetite and What to Do
Dogs may refuse food for many reasons - unpalatable meals, physical discomfort, indigestion, illness, internal parasites, or being in heat. Identify the specific cause and respond accordingly. If the problem is food- or stomach-related, adjusting the diet and aiding digestion usually helps; if it is illness, prompt veterinary care is needed.
My dog recently developed small black spots on its body; I considered age spots but it is only four years old. Could it be from feeding fish oil too often? Also, this morning its stool was a bit loose with a little blood
If the skin only has black spots with no other symptoms, it is mainly considered a genetic trait or pigment deposition. For the loose stool with blood, causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, parvovirus, or distemper; see a vet. If a visit is hard, fast it and give broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.
Why is my dog vomiting and passing bloody stool?
Dog vomiting with bloody stool can have various causes, including intestinal obstruction, gastroenteritis, poisoning, parasite infection, distemper, and parvovirus. Treatment differs by cause. Withhold food and water and take the dog to a vet promptly.
My dog keeps dry-coughing and gagging, especially at night, with bright red bloody stool, abdominal twitching, and looking at its rear – what’s wrong?
Dry cough, gagging, and bloody stool may be from parasite infection; ascites, parvovirus, or coronavirus cannot be ruled out. Symptoms are already serious - see a vet to confirm the cause. If internal parasites are found, deworm promptly and give gut-lining repair medicine to ease signs.
My two-month-old puppy vomited dog-food bits yesterday and was lazy with little exercise; I gave it cimetidine tablets yesterday and it still vomited today, and probiotics also made it vomit — it is throwing up the medicine. What is going on?
Based on your description, the puppy vomits frequently and still vomits after medication; do not keep giving it drugs to avoid further harm. Given its young age, infectious diseases must be ruled out first. Take it to a vet promptly; distemper and parvovirus are common and deadly, so timely treatment is key.
My dog foams at the mouth, runs around crashing into things, and ignores me when called, then recovers after a while; it had a seizure a week ago
A dog with rabies usually dies within 7-10 days, rarely two weeks. Your dog's symptoms are more likely caused by acute meningitis, epilepsy, distemper, or parvovirus. These are serious, so take the dog for a full veterinary checkup promptly.
Several of my dogs are vomiting white foam/mucus and two are lethargic; the local vet’s medicine isn’t working – what’s wrong?
Several dogs vomiting mucus and being lethargic likely points to a viral infection or poisoning. The prescribed medicine targets parvovirus; if an antigen test confirms parvovirus, oral medicine alone usually fails - there is no specific cure, and treatment is fluids, anti-inflammation, antivirals, and gut repair with interferon and monoclonal antibodies. Isolate the dogs to avoid cross-infection.
My dog since yesterday won’t eat, only drinks water, keeps arching its rear, occasional clear vomit, no stool — what’s wrong?
Frequent rear-arching with persistent vomiting suggests abdominal pain; pancreatitis or parvovirus could be the cause and can worsen or turn life-threatening. Don't medicate blindly — see a vet to find the cause.
Just got the puppy, found white-yellow pasty stool, unsure when it started; now vomiting yellow fluid; gave a dose of gentamicin and a norfloxacin
White sticky loose stool suggests shed intestinal mucosa, meaning serious mucosal damage, usually acute enteritis, parasites, or infection. As a new puppy with unknown history, screen for parvovirus, coronavirus, and parasites, which your meds won't treat. Simple enteritis with okay spirits improves with probiotics and antibiotics; if not, see a vet at once.
Doberman vomiting and diarrhea with low energy, no blood in stool; won’t eat and vomits when force-fed
Canine parvovirus is an acute, severe infectious disease second only to distemper in danger, and there is no specific cure. Home treatment is not advised as it may miss the best treatment window. Early fasting and withholding water are recommended, and oral medication should be avoided.
