Can everyone help check why my dog has no fur around its eyes? Thank you very much.
Hair loss around the eyes may be natural for some dogs, or if sudden, from eye infection or skin disease. Conjunctivitis causing tearing and scratching, or mites, can lead to it. See a vet for diagnosis.
What Happens If a Dog Goes Without Food for 3 Days?
After 3 days without food a dog typically shows low blood sugar and electrolyte imbalance and becomes very weak. With little water it also shows dehydration - loose skin, sunken eyes, dry lips.
What Happens If a Dog Has an Intestinal Blockage?
An intestinal blockage prevents food and digestive fluids from passing normally through the gut, causing persistent vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, loss of appetite, and lethargy. Without prompt treatment, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance can develop and become life-threatening.
Kitten ate strawberry-flavored smectite, then threw up thick yellow fluid with food after eating meat
Based on your description, the vomiting and diarrhea may be from indigestion or acute gastroenteritis, but feline panleukopenia cannot be ruled out. Prompt fasting and a veterinary visit are advised.
My cat’s eye hasn’t improved after a week of levofloxacin drops – what now?
The blurry photo prevents diagnosis; since drops did not help, stop self-medicating and get a veterinary eye exam for proper treatment.
My cat’s eyes won’t open, has discharge, sneezes, and has a runny nose.
These signs suggest a cold or calicivirus infection. A vet exam and PCR test confirm the cause; treat with cold medicine or interferon as needed.
My dog has a large bare patch near the neck with black crust and intense itching – is it a bite wound or hot water?

Vomited twice
There are many causes of white-foam vomit; from this alone the cause can't be pinned down. Watch the dog's spirits — if good with no other signs, it may be extreme hunger, or eating too much or too fast, but a foreign object isn't ruled out. Feed if hungry to 70–80% full; give probiotics if indigestion. If vomiting persists or other signs appear, see a vet.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
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.
