Why Won’t Your Dog Gain Weight?
A dog that stays thin is usually fighting internal parasites, under-eating, has poor gut absorption, eats low-quality food, or is a picky eater. Deworm on schedule, portion correctly, fix the gut with probiotics, and choose meat-rich food to help it gain healthily.
Why Do Dogs Develop Pica?
Pica is when a dog eats non-food items, from one favorite object to all sorts of odd things. Causes include stress, poor diet, parasites, disease, or puppy curiosity. Understand the causes to prevent it.
How to Correct Your Dog’s Habit of Eating Too Fast
Eating too quickly is an unhealthy behavior in dogs and can lead to serious digestive conditions such as gastric dilation and bloat (gastric torsion). This guide explains why dogs bolt their food and offers practical training methods—slow-feeder bowls, smaller and more frequent meals, and food enrichment—to help them slow down.
When Is a Border Collie’s Shedding Season, and How Long Does It Last?
Border Collies shed twice a year—spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November)—with timing tied to local climate. This guide covers the growth and seasonal sheds and the care points: nutrition, brushing, hygiene, and diet.
Brought Home at 50 Days, Then Got Lethargic, Wouldn’t Drink Formula, Then Vomited and Had Diarrhea; Now Vomiting Yellow/White Fluid and Passing Blood; Gave Medicine but No Improvement, with Abdominal Breathing and Fever
A puppy with vomiting, diarrhea, labored breathing, and fever can have gut, infectious, or parasite causes. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper, coronavirus, parvovirus. Stop meds and see a vet if no improvement.
My dog was overfed a few days ago, about 3 to 4 months old, now weak and near death, sometimes comes out for a drink, eats nothing, very thin
Weakness and poor appetite may signal distemper, infectious hepatitis, or parasites; long starvation also causes low blood sugar and electrolyte imbalance. Take it for IV fluids first to restore basics, then run blood, fecal, and imaging tests to find the cause.
Is it good to buy a 3-month-old Pomeranian?
A 3-month Pomeranian is a great choice: weaned, well-developed, easy to raise, and not yet attached, so it adapts easily. Ensure full vaccines (distemper, parvo, rabies) and keep up deworming.
Dog’s tail stays against its back; since coming home it rarely lowers except when relaxed; when playing it lowers it, but then bites its own tail fur. Is something wrong?
A puppy biting its tail may have a tail injury, stuck object, parasites, or infection. Check the tail; see a vet if other symptoms; it may just be self-play.
My dog suddenly stopped coming home, lay outside, hasn’t eaten for 3 days, now has bloody stool and is weak and cold
Blood in stool and anorexia can be poisoning, parasites, or viral disease, but by day 3 it's past the time for induced vomiting, so don't induce. Best to go to a vet; if not, warm it, give glucose-saline, pet antibiotics (amox-clav, bismuth) and probiotics. Tomato-soup-like stool suggests viral infection needing interferon and parvo monoclonal; puppy viral mortality is high, so hospitalization is better.
My 40-Day-Old Golden Retriever Had Diarrhea with Roundworms — What Should I Do?
