How to stop dog from eating chicken poop? There are several methods to stop your dog from eating chicken poop. Here are three helpful tips to stop dog from eating chicken poop. 1. Sprinkle chili sauce or cayenne pepper on chicken poop By sprinkling chili sauce or cayenne pepper onto the chicken poop, it may discourage your pooch from eating the chicken poop. Chili or hot flavor leaves a burning sensation on the dog’s tongue and this will help dogs learn that eating chicken poop is bad. This may also stop their habit of eating chicken poop. 2. Keep the coop clean and secure If you do have chickens, try to secure the chicken coop so that your canine friends do not have access to it. My friend creates a separate space in the yard for the chicken coop and uses an electronic dog fence to keep her dogs from escaping into the chicken coop. Keep an eye on your dog and try obedience training as well to prevent your dog from accessing the chicken coop and eating their poop. 3. Add fruits like pineapple to your chicken’s diet Lastly, while pineapple in moderation is good for dogs, dogs generally do not like the taste of it because it is sour and tangy. If you add pineapple to your chicken’s diet, what goes in comes out so your chicken’s poop may contain pineapple.

Hii!! In most cases, yellow foam indicates that the dog's stomach is relatively empty of food. The yellow color comes from bile, a digestive fluid that's produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and then released into the small intestine just below the stomach.A dog may vomit yellow foam simply because his stomach is empty and the bile can be irritating. If your dog is otherwise healthy — and he's eating and defecating normally — it may help to reduce the time in between meals. But this doesn’t mean that your dog should be fed more. Instead, one meal can be divided into two or three smaller but more frequent feedings. Unfortunately, there are many medical conditions that can cause a dog to vomit on an empty stomach, so a phone call to your vet is a good idea if you notice this problem.Potential Medical Concerns If there’s something in the vomit besides yellow foam, it may help to bring a sample to your veterinarian. Of course, if there’s grass in the foam, for example, you may already have your answer. So keep your dog from grazing on the lawn, and see if the vomiting subsides. If your dog shows other signs, including loss of appetite, lethargy and diarrhea — or if you notice a yellow tinge to your dog’s skin, eyes or gums — it merits a trip to your veterinarian. The problem may be as simple as a sudden diet change, stress or side effects from medication. But it could also be something more serious, such as pancreatitis, toxins, liver disease, parasites, allergies and more. When a foreign body is involved, like that sock that suddenly went missing, it may even require emergency surgery. Thank you Best wishes!

Hiii, If your dog is coughing, you need to call your veterinarian. Many of the causes of dog cough are treatable, but all require medical attention. The sooner you get your dog in to see your veterinarian, the sooner your dog can be on his way to feeling better. Catching a cough early can also improve the prognosis for your dog, especially with life-threatening illnesses such as heartworm disease, distemper, and heart disease. Brefore visiting a vet you must do the following things.

Is your dog sick? Is he choking? Should you call your veterinarian? A dog cough can have many causes, some of which are potentially dangerous. Here is what you need to know about the causes of coughing in dogs and what you can do about it. Why Do Dogs Cough? Dogs explore the world with their nose—and occasionally their mouth. Your dog comes into contact with all kinds of things, including dust, germs, and the occasional grass stem. All of these things can cause coughing, which makes it hard to determine if your dog’s cough is serious or simply the sound of your dog clearing her throat. An occasional cough may be normal dog behavior and is not a cause for concern. Repetitive coughing, on the other hand, could be a sign of a more serious problem, especially if there are changes in breathing sounds or patterns. Types of Dog Cough One of the ways to narrow down the possible causes for your dog’s cough is to identify the type of cough. This is important information for you to gather, as it can help your veterinarian make a more informed decision about your pet’s care. Ask yourself the following questions: Is it a deep, dry, hacking cough? Is it a high-pitched, gagging cough? Is it a wet, phlegmy moist cough? Is it a deep, honking cough? Does your dog cough in his sleep? Each of these types of cough indicates a particular problem. Make sure you describe the sound of your dog’s cough when you call your veterinarian, since this can help determine whether or not it is an emergency or if it could be a contagious disease like kennel cough or canine influenza virus. Irish Red and White Setter head portrait outdoors. Common Causes of Dog Cough Kennel Cough A deep, dry, honking canine cough could be a symptom of kennel cough or tracheobronchitis (upper airway, meaning not the lungs). Kennel cough is a highly contagious disease caused by bacterium OR a number of viruses. It normally causes only mild illness and discomfort, but it can descend into the lungs causing serious problems like pneumonia or chronic bronchitis. Dogs can pick up kennel cough in boarding and doggy daycare facilities, and any other places where dogs congregate. It is normally not a serious disease, but your veterinarian may prescribe some medication to help treat the cough and will recommend that you keep your dog away from other dogs until the infectious stage is over. Sore Throat A high-pitched, gagging cough can be suggestive of upper airway irritation, infection or even a partial blockage. Either your dog has a sore throat, which could be secondary to tonsillitis (fairly uncommon in dogs), secondary to infections of the mouth, or sinus, or possibly a foreign body or material stuck in his throat causing discomfort and a sore throat. Foreign objects lodged in the throat are dangerous, and prevent proper ventilation and swallowing. A foreign object that makes its way into your dog’s esophagus can be potentially life threatening and requires immediate veterinary attention. Lung Problems A wet, phlegmy “moist” cough could be a symptom of lower airway or lung (pulmonary) problem. Those wet, gargling sounds indicate that there may be fluid in your dog’s lungs. Unlike with other coughs, the breathing will be labored even when the dog is not coughing. This warrants immediate veterinary attention, which means you need to get on the phone with your veterinarian and get your dog an appointment ASAP. Pneumonia usually affects dogs with undeveloped or weakened immune systems including young puppies and senior dogs. There are many causes of pneumonia in dogs, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, or aspiration secondary to inhalation of foreign material after vomiting or after exposure to toxins, such as petroleum distillates/gasoline, etc. Tracheal Collapse Toy breeds are at an increased risk of tracheal collapse. One of the symptoms of tracheal collapse is a honking cough that sounds like a goose. This sound may become more pronounced when your dog is pulling against his collar, and obese dogs are at an increased risk of developing tracheal collapse. It can also show up in hot, humid weather during exercise. Heart Disease There are many types of heart disease in dogs. When the heart is not functioning properly as a pump, fluid may start to accumulate in the lungs. This is called Congestive Heart Failure. Dog breeds that are prone to heart disease, such as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, may start coughing as the disease progresses. This type of coughing mainly happens when your dog is sleeping or lying down and means that fluid is building up around your dog’s lungs. This is a serious symptom, so be sure to talk to your veterinarian about treatment options for congestive heart failure. Less Common Causes of Dog Cough The above causes of coughing in dogs are all serious, but there are some additional, less common causes of coughing that your vet may want to rule out. Distemper Heartworm Canine influenza Virus Chronic bronchitis Cancer Treating Dog Cough Coughing in dogs is usually treatable. Before your veterinarian can treat your dog’s cough, however, he or she has to diagnose the underlying cause of the cough. Veterinarians diagnose based on a combination of tests and clinical signs. Your veterinarian will perform a physical exam, listening to your dog’s heart and lungs, taking your dog’s temperature, and performing diagnostic tests, as necessary, to determine what is bothering your dog. Once he finds the underlying cause, your vet will discuss a treatment plan catered to your dog’s unique needs that treats both your dog’s coughing and the underlying cause or disease.

Bladder stones are common in dogs. They are the result of one or more underlying abnormalities, making stone analysis a critical step in the diagnostic process. It is also be important to evaluate what the dog was fed before the bladder stone diagnosis and analyze blood and urine for clues as to how nutrition may aid in preventing bladder stone recurrence. Bladder stones set the stage for chronic urinary tract infection, and some bladder stones (struvites) grow more quickly if the dog already has a urinary tract infection. Consequently, urinary tract infection and bladder stones commonly occur together. Therefore, your veterinarian will recommend long-term antibiotics to kill bacteria on an ongoing basis while the bladder heals from surgery and the bladder lining returns to normal. Resolving or controlling bladder infection is one important way to prevent recurrence of bladder stones. Is there any chance that bladder stones can be dissolved rather than resorting to surgery?image 12 The opportunity to dissolve bladder stones in dogs, called dissolution, depends on the composition of the stones. Unfortunately, the most effective way to know the composition of a canine bladder stone is to remove one and have it analyzed. That said, it may be possible to draw some conclusions about the composition of a bladder stone based on crystals identified during the urinalysis. Also, it may be possible to retrieve a small bladder stone for analysis via a urethral catheter. Your veterinarian will work closely with you to determine if attempting medical dissolution is a reasonable option for your dog. In most cases, surgical removal of bladder stones is the treatment of choice. Surgery provides the following benefits: prevents blockage of urine outflow, which is a true emergency. relieves the dog of the discomfort of stones in the bladder. allows bladder healing to begin. allows for definitive analysis of the stone(s), which provides the best opportunity to prevent recurrence. How will I know what steps I need to take and what I need to feed my dog in order to prevent his bladder stones from recurring? The nutritional focus for a particular dog will depend on the specific diagnosis that dog receives, and your veterinarian is a key partner in creating an overall plan that best fits your dog's bladder stone composition. There are, however, some general statements that can be made about the nutritional management of bladder stones that occur in dogs: Purine stones. Dissolution may be possible with appropriate protein-restricted therapeutic nutrition combined with measures to increase urine production (diuresis), creating an alkaline urine pH, controlling/eliminating any existing urinary tract infection, and giving a medication called allopurinol (brand name Zyloprim®). This is the same plan to prevent recurrence. Calcium oxalate stones. Dissolution has not proven to be effective, so the nutritional focus is designed to prevent recurrence. Goals include reducing dietary calcium in order to reduce the calcium excreted in the urine, reducing oxalic acid in the urine, inhibiting calcium oxalate crystal growth, and reducing urine specific gravity (concentration). Diets that may help include Royal Canin® Urinary SO, Purina® ProPlan® Veterinary Diet UR Ox™/St™, Hill's Prescription Diet® w/d® Multi-Benefit, or Rayne Clinical Nutrition Adult Health-RSS™. Table food may be a problem for these dogs. Calcium phosphate stones. Dissolution has not proven to be effective. Prevention is complicated because these stones are uncommon and may result from several different underlying causes at once. Nutritional prevention of recurrence involves feeding wet versus dry food, limiting sodium intake, and managing urine pH (depending on the dog's metabolic profile). There are no specific diet recommendations. The dog may also need additional medication. Cystine stones. Dissolution may be possible using a protein-restricted therapeutic food with a controlled sodium level, and one that supports an alkaline urine pH (examples include Hill's Prescription Diet® u/d® or Royal Canin® UC Low Purine). Any existing urinary tract infection must be resolved. This is also the nutrient profile that would be used following surgery. Potassium citrate (brand names NutriVed, Urocit-K®) can be used to alkalinize the urine. Tiopronin (brand name Thiola®) may be used to bind to the excess cystine and remove it from the body. Struvite stones. Dissolution may by possible by resolving an existing urinary tract infection and utilizing an appropriate nutrient profile. The appropriate nutrient profile for dissolution is relatively high in fat, potentially providing worry about pancreatitis, which means close monitoring is necessary. The food will also cause increased thirst and more dilute urine. Diets include Hills Prescription Diet® s/d® or c/d®, Royal Canin Urinary SO™, Purina® Pro Plan® Veterinary UR Urinary™, and Rayne Clinical Nutrition Adult Health-RSS™. The complete prevention plan will depend on the individual dog, but will generally focus on creating a slightly acidic urine while monitoring to prevent formation of calcium oxalate crystals and/or stones, which can form in urine that is very acidic. Silica stones. These bladder stones are very rare. Dissolution has not yet been documented. Post-surgery, there is limited data to provide a clear path to prevention. General guidelines include feeding a nutrient profile with reduced vegetable protein and other plant-based ingredients, higher animal protein, feeding moist food versus dry, and feeding a food that supports an alkaline urine pH. A urine alkalinizing agent (such as the potassium citrate) may also be needed. Regardless of the ultimate treatment of canine bladder stones - surgical removal or dissolution - nutrition will play a critical role in preventing recurrence. Once a nutritional profile has been chosen, it is important to feed only what has been prescribed, so speak to your veterinarian before offering any additional food or treats. The add-ons may undermine what the prescribed nutrient profile is able to do to prevent bladder stones from recurring.

Hi Eva, see there could be many resons why you pet is doing like this here I have listed some few reasons So, Why Is My Dog Throwing Up Undigested Food? At the end of the day, there are many possible reasons why your dog might throw up partially digested or undigested food. They might also regurgitate food that hasn’t even had a chance to be digested. One of the most common causes is gastritis or simple stomach irritation — usually caused by your dog eating something they shouldn’t — but other serious issues could be to blame. If your dog vomits once, keep a close eye on them to see if anything else happens. If it doesn’t, your pup is most likely fine. If you see additional symptoms or unusual behavior, let your veterinarian know. You know your dog best. If you think their vomiting warrants concern, play it safe and call your veterinarian. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. What You Can Do If your vet determines what causes your dog to vomit and says that at-home care is sufficient for your pup, you'll want to know how to treat him to alleviate his symptoms. Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine has these care tips for your vomiting dog: Withhold food for a few hours, but make sure to consult your veterinarian on how long first. (However, the college notes, water should never be withheld from a pet with certain health conditions. It's a good idea to talk to your vet before withholding fluids from your dog.) With persistent vomiting, dehydration can be a real cause for concern, which is why fluids are so important. Once vomiting stops, introduce a bland, low-fat food, and feed your dog small amounts three to six times daily for a few days. Gradually increase the amount of food and decrease the feedings as you transition to the dog's normal food. If your vet asked you to withhold water, re-introduce it slowly in small amounts. If you determine your dog is throwing up because he is eating too fast, one solution might be a "puzzle feeder," which forces dogs to eat slower as they work to obtain food. You can also try switching your dog's food to a high-quality option, such as Hill's® Science Diet® Adult Sensitive Stomach & Skin Dog Food, which offers your dog easy digestion and balanced nutrition. Switch to his new food slowly, rather than all at once or you might exacerbate the problem. A dog who throws up is not necessarily ill or in need of immediate veterinary attention. But if you see signs that make you believe something might seriously be wrong, call your vet to determine what the problem is and how to solve it. You'll soon be back to petting your pup rather than cleaning up his puke. Please visit your near by vet. Clinic or veterinarian as soon as possible. Thank you

Hi, Mr. Henry hope you and your Shino doing well. Well there is no problem if it has exceeded the timing of vaccination. But you have to keep in mind that it could be dangerous for you and your pets when it gets exposed to diseases. So, get them vaccinated as early as possible. Here some of my views i want to share. There is a lot of controversy nowadays about vaccinations. Which vaccinations should your puppy get? How often does your puppy need to be vaccinated? Do you really have to go back every three weeks for another vaccine? How important is all this anyway? Times have definitely changed. It used to be that puppies got a lot more vaccinations than they do today. We also gave vaccinations more frequently over the lifetime of the dog than we do today. About ten years ago, we started to learn that some vaccinations instill immunity for a longer period of time than previously thought. This caused many of us to change our vaccination recommendations for our patients. Puppies still need to be vaccinated every 2 to 3 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. The reason is the effect of maternal antibodies. Puppies receive maternal antibodies from the dam. These maternal antibodies are more powerful than any vaccination that we can give (Go Mom!). As a result, vaccinations that are given while maternal antibodies are high will be ineffective. They just won’t work. The problem is that we don’t know with any certainty when any individual dog’s maternal antibodies will drop off. They might drop off (allowing effective vaccination) at 9 weeks or at 16 weeks. This puts the veterinarian in a race against Mom’s antibodies. To try to win the race and make sure that puppies don’t get sick or die from preventable diseases, we vaccinate puppies every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. In this way, we can make sure that we are vaccinating them at the point when the maternal antibodies drop for that individual puppy. If you accidentally miss a scheduled three week vaccine booster, you should go to your veterinarian’s office as soon as you can to get back on schedule. There are core vaccines and non-core vaccines. Core vaccines are those that every puppy should receive. These include Parvovirus, Rabies virus, Distemper virus and Adenovirus. Non-core vaccines include everything else. These types of vaccines are best given after 16 weeks. Does your dog need any non-core vaccinations? That depends on where you live and what your puppy does each day. To find out the answer for your puppy, sit down with your veterinarian and have a conversation about the risks to your dog. For example, if your dog is going to dog parks, dog shows or boarding facilities, she will need a Bordetella bronchiseptica (AKA kennel cough) vaccination. If you live in the northeast, your veterinarian will most likely recommend that your pup receive a Lyme vaccine. Most vaccines, but not all, will need to be boostered (i.e., given again) to be effective in the long-term. If your veterinarian has recommended boosters, don’t assume that your puppy is safe until after the vaccination has been boostered. Small dog owners often worry about giving multiple vaccinations at the same time. Indeed, the little ones can be susceptible to vaccine reactions when given multiple vaccinations at one time (but so can big pups, too). In cases like this, your veterinarian can split the vaccines up by giving them on different days. If that is the case, make sure to leave at least two weeks between vaccinations. You will have to make more trips to the veterinarian’s office, but whatever makes your pup safer is worth the trouble. Don’t forget to make the vaccination procedure as low stress as possible for your pup by using great treats the entire time she is being vaccinated

What to do if your Dog is Unable to Stand If you suspect paralysis, bring your pet to your veterinarian immediately, as it can be an emergency. If your veterinarian is not open, consider bringing them to an emergency clinic or taking them as early as possible in the morning. The longer you wait, the worse the signs may become. The veterinarian will assess your dog, and if a spinal cord compression is suspected, will most likely administer painkillers, anti-inflammatories and/or steroids, which will decrease the swelling, improve the nerve function and help to reduce some of the pain. If these treatments are unsuccessful or if the paralysis is severe, surgery may be necessary. Although geriatric vestibular syndrome cannot be cured, it can be treated to speed up the recovery. Your dog should typically recover on their own within a few days or weeks. Degenerative myelopathy cannot be cured, but physical therapy can help maintain a good quality of life for some time. Dogs with botulism are treated with supportive therapy and an anti-toxin. Supportive therapy, such as nursing care and confinement, can also help with vestibular disease, along with motion sickness medications to help with nausea and vomiting. Antibiotics may be needed to eliminate ear infections. If the veterinarian suspects degenerative myelopathy, they may suggest MRIs and myelography to rule out other diseases. It is important to observe your dog’s behavior well, as botulism will often be diagnosed by the owner’s observation of the dog, it’s exposure to dead animals and detection of spores in the fecal samples. Once diagnosed, the only treatment is supportive care in the form of respiratory therapy and nursing care.

What is Hiding? Dogs hide for a multitude of reasons, and in most situations, it is nothing more than an occasional inconvenience. In many cases, it is perfectly natural for a dog to find a cozy space to nap or a place to hide from things that frighten them. If the behavior becomes chronic or interferes with the dog's enjoyment of life, then behavioral conditioning or medication may help alleviate the behavior. If your dog is hiding and showing any additional signs of pain or discomfort, they may be ill and require medical intervention. Common reasons may be: Abuse Illness or injury Noise anxiety Protection and safety Solitude Storm phobia Stress Visiting strangers What to do if your Dog is Hiding If your canine companion is simply looking for a small place to get away and rest for a while, there really isn’t anything you need to do as this is perfectly normal behavior for most canines. If your pet is hiding out of fear, however, your first instinct when you see your pet cowering in their chosen hiding spot is to comfort them. Some veterinary behavioralists recommend ignoring the dog until it is calm in order to prevent the behavior from being reinforced, while others condone comforting the animal in a calm and reassuring manner. If your dog appears to be in distress or in pain, your veterinarian should be consulted to determine the next course of action. It is important in these situations to coax your pet out of its hiding spot gently if at all possible. This is to avoid either injuring the dog or causing the dog to bite in fear. If the behavior is interfering with the dog’s enjoyment of life, a behavioral therapist may be able to help you to create a treatment program based on counter-conditioning training. In severe cases, medications may be prescribed to help alleviate the dog's anxiety

And when it does we usually see symptoms of nausea and vomiting. When my dog is about to vomit he always makes a certain face with flat-lined lips and squinty eyes. I have about 30 seconds to get him outside. Dog vomiting isn’t pleasant for anyone. Do you know why your dog is vomiting and what you can do about it? By the end of this article you will. Regurgitation or Vomiting To treat dog vomiting, you need to know the difference between vomiting and regurgitation. Regurgitation is when undigested food comes back up into the mouth from the esophagus. This happens when food is too large for deposit into the stomach. If your dog regurgitates, you’ll notice undigested food mostly covered in mucus. Regurgitation doesn’t involve the stiff-legged heaving that vomiting does. It’s quick and unfortunately usually involves your dog eating the food a second time. Sure, this is gross, but it’s also completely normal. Regurgitation provides another opportunity to crush food into smaller pieces. Regurgitated food rarely smells unless your dog is eating kibble. Kibble fed dogs tend to regurgitate and vomit much more than raw fed dogs. This is because many brands of kibble contain rancid ingredients covered up with masking chemicals. So, the main difference is that the purpose of regurgitation is an adjustment and the purpose of vomiting is to get rid of toxic material. Vomiting comes from the stomach and the upper intestines. It usually has a unique texture, color and smell. Nausea If you’re like me, you’ll do just about anything to keep yourself from vomiting. This isn’t the case for your dog. It comes naturally to her. Usually just before your dog vomits you’ll see signs of nausea. These typically include: Excessive drooling Smacking of lips Pacing Odd facial expressions When nausea is just nausea or when accompanied by mild vomiting, you can use herbs in various forms known as antiemetics. Two herbs that work quickly for nausea are ginger and fennel. Ginger is warming and moves energy in the body upwards and outwards. I like to use ginger for dogs who are energetically cool, thin in stature with a love for warm places. When using ginger, use 1 tbsp of fresh ginger root. Slice and chop it and infuse it in 1 cup of boiling water for 10-15 minutes. Let it cool and give by the teaspoon full. Give your dog 1 tsp for every 15 lbs of body weight. Fennel is good for more rotund dogs who seek out cool places and may have a difficult time regulating body temperature. Make an infusion of 1 tsp of ground fennel seeds and 1 cup water at the first sign of nausea. Let it steep for 20 minutes covered in almost boiling water and give 1 tsp for every 15 lbs of body weight. Two more herbs for nausea are chamomile and peppermint. Chamomile is slightly warming and moist. Peppermint is cooling and dry. Both are anti-spasmodic so they’ll soothe the digestive tract and help relieve nausea. You can use infusions of both using 1 tbsp of either in 1 cup of almost boiling water. Let cool and give 1 tsp for every 15 lbs of body weight. Vomitus Eruptus (AKA Dog Vomiting) Normal vomit consists of bile (yellow slime), mostly digested food, and foam. It originates from the stomach and small intestine. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than us. This allows them to expel toxins at a much faster rate than we do and with a lot less drama. Dog vomiting can either be acute or chronic. There are a few reasons for most cases of vomit: Ingesting something A food allergy or sensitivity Reaction to a drug Parasites Stress An organ malfunction Sometimes one bout of vomiting is all it takes and your dog will be back to normal. Other times it’s continuous. Continuous vomiting occurs many times over a 24-hour period. It’s usually caused by inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. This type of vomiting is often diagnosed as “acute gastritis” and has an unknown origin. But you can usually tell when it’s happening. Your dog will brace four-on-the-floor and be hacking. The vomit is usually yellow or brown and semi-transparent in color and hard to pick up. If the vomit consists of full pieces of food then it hasn’t been in the stomach long. This is normal when dogs eat too quickly or have too much activity after eating. With continuous vomiting, fluids are important. You need to be careful of rapid dehydration and depletion of body salts. Puppies and older dogs are especially susceptible to dehydration due to continuous vomiting. Lethargy, glazed over eyes, and dry gums are all signs that fluids need to be replaced. If the vomiting goes on too long, your dog may need emergency IV fluids to help until the stomach settles. You can use chamomile, fennel, ginger or peppermint to help with the nausea. You can also try a mixture of chamomile, marshmallow root and dandelion. Combine equal parts chamomile, marshmallow root and dandelion tinctures. Dissolve them together in a small amount of warm water. Give 3 drops in the mouth for every 5 lbs of body weight. Do this 2-3 times per day. When chronic vomiting occurs it’s important to rule out serious conditions like kidney and liver disease as well as tumors. Most dogs with chronic vomiting have a depletion of hydrochloric acid. They probably aren’t absorbing nutrients very well either. Food sensitivities, decreased beneficial bacteria, household and environmental allergens may all cause chronic vomiting. Other Reasons Your Dog May Be Vomiting There are several other reasons your dog may be vomiting. #1 Vomiting water occurs when dogs drink too fast or when there’s too much moisture in the system. #2 Bile based vomiting is usually associated with an empty stomach. It’s often accompanied by lip smacking, eating dirt or an abdomen that’s sensitive to the touch. Usually when this happens, the spleen and pancreas can get over stimulated and cause indigestion, burping and burning in the stomach. You’ll usually see this vomiting first thing in the morning or the middle of the night. I’ve found that feeding a small amount of food before bed helps stop this type of vomiting. Reach for chamomile and crab apple flower essence if this happens to your dog. Mix 1 tbsp in 1 cup of hot water, let it cool, then add in 10 drops of crab apple. Give 1 tsp for every 15 lbs of body weight. #3 Some dogs vomit due to a nervous or what I call “emotional” stomach. This can indicate a depleted microbiome, so use probiotic treatments to help treat inflammation in the gut. Probiotic strains like Lactobacillus planetarum can help decrease food sensitivity and intestinal inflammation. You can also calm your nervous pup with catnip. This will treat and balance the nervous system and the stomach. To do this, use a tincture of catnip using 15 drops in 1 ounce of filtered water. You can also infuse 1 tbsp with 1 cup of almost boiling water. Give 1 tsp for every 15 lbs of body weight, 2-3 times a day. #4 Vomiting undigested food. For dogs vomiting undigested food, make sure they’re getting digestive enzymes. Give dandelion tincture or add ground dandelion to food to stimulate digestion. If giving tincture of dandelion, give 3 drops in the mouth before eating. You can also try dissolving it in a bit of water. This will help the gallbladder secrete bile for digesting fats. #5 Motion sickness. For dogs who get nauseous or vomit while riding in the car, powered ginger can calm the gut. Give it 30 to 40 minutes before your trip. For small dogs give approx. 300 mg. For medium dogs give about 400 mg. For large and giant breeds give about 500mg. Make sure you use vegetable capsules instead of gelatin capsules or the pill may not dissolve quick enough. Animal Herbalist Cat Lane recommends powdered ginger in half ratio with powdered chamomile in raw honey for those dogs that have a hard time ingesting liquids or capsules. Give 1/8 tsp dissolved in a bit of honey for each 15 lbs of bodyweight. Homeopathy for Nausea And Vomiting Homeopathy is also helpful for dealing with dog vomiting. For severe nausea with excessive drooling, swallowing or nervous movements, and a disinterest in food or water, try Ipecac root. Use the 6x or 30c potency. Nux Vomica in the 6x or 30c potency can be used for dogs that are heaving and vomiting or nauseous from inhaling their food. Pulsatilla 6 or 30c is useful for dogs vomiting undigested food particles. Dose 1 time or speak to your homeopathic vet before dosing again. To give your dog one of these remedies place 1-3 pellets in a glass bottle. Fill the bottle almost full with water and strike it against your palm 20 to 30 times. A dose is a single drop in your dog’s mouth. An easy way to do this is to pull your dog’s lower lip out near the corner of his mouth, then squeeze the remedy onto his gums. A few drops given at one time is still a single dose, so don’t worry if you accidentally empty a full dropper into your dog’s mouth. As long as some ends up in your dog’s mouth, you’ve given the remedy. Let Your Dog’s Stomach Rest When your dog vomits, you might worry that she’s hungry. Because of this, it may be tempting to feed small meals and wait to see if she’ll vomit again. This is a mistake. Resting the digestive tract is important when your dog is vomiting. I usually recommend withholding food for at least six to eight hours (don’t fast puppies though). Depending on the situation you can also try herbs, a homeopathic medicine like Nux vomica or small amounts of bone broth. Usually I’ll wait until the next morning to reassess the situation. When feeding broth, give small amounts: 1-2 tbsp for toy to small breeds 1-2 ounces for medium dogs 4-6 ounces for large dogs 8 ounces for giant breeds I do this every hour or so if they are able to keep it down.

Hi High values for both BUN and creatinine indicate that the kidneys are not working well and may be in failure. In this situation a urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio greater than 0.4 in a cat and 0.5 in a dog indicates there is significant protein loss through the kidneys, and a diagnosis of primary kidney disease can be made. Further investigation and treatment are recommended. Normal BUN and creatinine values suggest the kidneys are likely healthy and working well. In this situation a protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio up to 2.0 in both cats and dogs is acceptable. If the ratio is greater than 2.0, then significant protein loss through the kidneys exists, even if BUN and creatinine are within normal limits. Primary kidney disease is likely present and further investigation and treatment are recommended. So, in my opinion it's okay to continue with food that you are giving. But slowly try to mix regular dog food with chicken toppings. Regular food chicken toppings 10 90 1st week 20 80 2nd week 25 75 3rd week 30 70 4th week 35 65 5th week Like that continue... Up to 6 months.. Your dog will be habituated. Thank you

Hi....Caring for a cat is usually full of cute and rewarding moments, but it’s another story entirely if they experience vomiting. The underlying cause can be one of a variety of reasons, but no matter what, it’s no fun to clean up, and you’ll want your kitty to feel better as quickly as possible. If there’s a serious condition, taking your cat to the vet is the best solution. However, sometimes vomiting in cats can be caused by their diet, how quickly they eat, or it can be a side effect of medication. If you and your vet have ruled out major problems, consider one of these natural home remedies to ease your cat’s upset stomach and to help reduce vomiting. 1.Peppermint Tea peppermint tea Image: Needpix As humans, we often turn to herbal tea to ease an upset stomach, and in the case of peppermint tea, this is a good solution for cats as well. Boil some water and pour enough for a normal cup of tea into a mug or bowl. Add a peppermint tea bag, making sure that you choose an herbal tea with no caffeine. Let the tea bag sit in the water for about fifteen minutes so that the tea becomes strong, and then offer a tablespoon or two by itself to your cat or pour over their food. You can repeat this once or twice a day to help settle your kitty’s stomach. It’s very important to note that peppermint oil should not be substituted for a peppermint tea bag. Although peppermint tea is safe, peppermint oil is toxic to cats, according to Coralville Animal Hospital. 2.Fasting If you suspect that a change in your cat’s diet may be the culprit, allowing your cat to fast for a limited time may help reduce vomiting. This solution is as simple as not feeding your cat their normal breakfast or dinner. You can have your cat fast for 12-24 hours, but, of course, always make sure they have fresh water available at all times. If you notice that your cat stops vomiting after a period of fasting, you can slowly reintroduce food and monitor them to see if the issue returns. If it does, you may want to consider speaking with your vet about the food you use or changing the food altogether. If you can link vomiting to a new food or flavor of food, it might be that your cat has food allergies and will continue to reject that particular cat food. Swapping to a new food may permanently fix your cat’s issue. 3.Bland Diet indoor cat eating Photo by Manfred Schnell from Pexels If you aren’t keen on having your cat fast for a day, or you’re looking to ease your kitty back into eating their normal diet following the fast, a bland diet can help continue to reduce vomiting. Some good, bland additions to your cat’s diet can be boiled chicken or boiled hamburger meat without fat, and small amounts of white rice. These foods have protein and carbohydrates that will provide the necessary nutrients and energy to your cat. According to bland diet instructions from Two Rivers Vet, these are foods that are easy to digest and won’t cause additional vomiting. You can begin with these foods and continue feeding them to your cat over a period of a few days while you slowly work their normal food back into their diet. 4.Mineral Oil One common reason for cat vomiting, as you’re likely well aware, is the presence of hairballs. When a cat vomits, they may be trying to get a hairball out that isn’t passing properly. If you believe a hairball may be the reason for vomiting, you can offer your feline friend some mineral oil, which is known to help hairballs pass more smoothly. You can add a teaspoon of mineral oil to your cat’s normal food two to three times a week to work as a natural laxative. Final Thoughts There are a few different causes of vomiting in cats, but, of course, your first goal when yours is sick is to get them feeling better as quickly as possible. If you’ve already ruled out major problems with your vet or if you know that the cause of vomiting isn’t serious, one of these natural home remedies will help to get your cat feeling better as quickly and safely as possible.

Yes, it contains tranexamic acid that helps the coagulation process. You can use it no issue in that. About human medicine, you can talk to your veterinarian.

Hii, Well, see the average healthy dog will produce approximately 10 to 20 ml of urine for each pound of body weight per day. Ideally adult dogs should be allowed outside to relieve themselves at least 3-5 times a day. It looks like some clinical conditions like diabetes, urinary tract infection, or several other underlying causes. So get appointment to your nearest vet. My suggestion, would be, to give soft food for now, let him drink much more water, I will not suggest antibiotics without knowing the complete history of your dog. So get it done by your vet. Thank you Best regards

Hi Jonathennes, hope you are doing great. Of course, it's often a good idea to spay and neuter pets. In addition to helping to fight pet overpopulation, spaying and neutering provide significant advantages for both pet and owner. In males, neutering tends to reduce roaming, marking, and some types of aggression. In females, spaying protects them from serious reproductive tract cancers and infections. (Spaying before the first heat cycle virtually eliminates the risk of mammary cancer.) Spayed and neutered animals are easier to live with and less expensive, too, without veterinary costs for roaming- or certain aggression-related injuries and reproductive-related cancers and infections. That said, I have a cure for bad behavior in pets that aren't spayed or neutered: training. Even an unneutered dog can be trained to walk without pulling on the leash and to come when called. The world is full of temptations, and one way to control them is through training. There are many dog trainers available in every country. So get an appointment and get rid of the problem. Thanks, with best regards

Hello Clarice, hope you are good and healthy. Well, see if something harmful had to happen, would have happened by now. So don't worry. The usual signs dogs show after ingesting such kind of things are : Signs that may indicate your dog has unwittingly eaten a facial covering include lethargy; nausea; lip licking; vomiting; a hard, swollen, or sensitive abdomen; diarrhea; loss of appetite; or being more irritable than usual, So it looks like all fine but I am unable to think of the fate of that wipe paper! What happened to that.!!? My suggestions would be to get a radiological examination done of your dog, it may reveal something. Thank you. Beat regards.

Hi Mr. Henry , hope you are doing well, Well, from your description of your musashi that you have given, looks like he is pretty healthy. It is not unusual for them to vomit in such a pattern, so don't be worried. What appears to me is that, Physical activity after eating or drinking too much water If your dog is into running with you or you’re taking a training class where you’re using food as a reward, you might want to watch how much you allow them to have right before or during activity. If a dog eats or drinks too much water they’re active this could lead to vomiting. If this is the case you’ll likely see undigested food in the vomit - what went down comes right back up! So, watch him carefully. Don't give unnecessary medicines. You can give ondansatron @ 1.5 g/ kg body weight or any other antiemetic for that matter. That's all from my side , hopping speedy recovery of your Musashi. Thank you Beat regards

Hi Anne, First of all I appreciate your effort and dynamic approach. It is relaxing to hear that you have taken him to a vet and he is under medication. Well, see to be honest, these are emergency case or trauma cases. They require immediate treatment and prognosis is often guarded. Now, let's come to Mathew's case. If X-ray couldn't detect anything significant like fracture or crack, it may be something else. I suspect anything like sprain or strain, there is every chance that diagnosis might have gone wrong but let's assume that everything that was done to find out the cause of limping was alright. The thing taht is worrying me is that it's been a week and he still facing same problem. Large breeds are genetically predisposed to hip dysplasis. This accident might have added fule to this suspicion. Check up for hip dysplasia as you have heard clicking sound from his hip. Regularly massage and give Diathermy or you can apply hot water bag till your next visit to the Vet. Thank you Hope it will help you. All the best.

Hi Juan, Well if you ask how much water they drink at one go, it is difficult to say because cats are intermittent feeder and drinker just like humans. Let put it in this way. Every cat is different, and each one will drink different amounts depending on their lifestyle, health, and environmental factors. For example, a cat that lives inside a cool house may not drink quite as much as a very active cat who spends a lot of time outside. Your vet will be able to tell you roughly how much water your cat needs based on their diet, lifestyle, and physical health. Bear in mind that a lot of your cat’s water intake might come from their food. Wet cat food already contains some water, so a cat who has a wet food diet won’t need to drink as much as a cat who only eats dry food. Dry food contains very little water, so they need to make up for it by drinking enough. Your cat should instinctively know that they need more water and should drink enough to make up for it – after all, they feel thirst just like we do. There are plenty of other factors that will affect how much your cat drinks. Like us, they’ll drink more if it’s hot, or if they’ve been physically very active, so take these things into account. Check out the guide below and find out roughly how much your cat should drink per day depending on their weight: Kitten (up to 3 months) - 1.4kg - 70 ml Kitten (6 months) - 2.7kg -150 ml Medium cat - 4kg- 200 ml Large cat - 6kg - 300 ml If your cat is drinking lots of water and showing other signs of illness, they should be checked and diagnosed by a vet. In particular, excessive thirst in cats can be a symptom of: Kidney disease Diabetes mellitus Hyperthyroidism Urinary tract disease If your cat is drinking excessively, and they don’t have any other unusual symptoms, try thinking about the cause. Is your house very warm? Are they only eating dry food? Has their drinking increased because it’s summer? If you can clearly put your cat’s excessive drinking down to an environmental factor, it’s enough to keep an eye on their general health and behaviour. As long as your cat is healthy and happy, and they’re getting plenty of fresh water when they want it, they should be fine. You might want to make a note of it and ask your vet at their next check-up, just to put your mind at rest. If your cat does appear to be unwell, book them in to see the vet as soon as possible. Remember to tell them that your cat has been drinking a lot, and note any other unusual symptoms. They will be able to diagnose your cat and find a possible treatment. Other tips If your cat is drinking a lot from unusual sources – such as dripping taps – make sure there’s nothing wrong with the water you give them to drink. Many cats will shy away from a water bowl that isn’t squeaky-clean, and like us, they much prefer fresh water. If your cat has recently switched from wet food to dry food, they may experience increased thirst. Keep an eye on it, but bear in mind that cats who eat dry food do need to drink more. Hope it will help you. Thank you Best regards.

Hi Ander, I hope you and your coco are doing absolutely fantastic. Well, It is really relaxing to hear that Coco is under special treatment regarding the struvite crystals. I believe she has been responding to the remedies that been given to her. It is sometimes controversial to give phosphorus rich food to the patients with kidney diseases ( The cause of struvite crystals may be an underlying kindney disease). The feeds that you have mentioned, they are generally high in phosphorus. Phosphorus is detrimental for kidney diseases. But at the same time energy is also an important factor to be considered. So, I would recommend you feed adequate or just enough Churu to your cat. Never over feed them with this kind of feed. Again as always consulting your near by vet will be a better option. Thank you Hope Ii has help you out. All the best

Hi Loretta , hope you are doing good and Bianca is also fine.. So, regarding your concern, See there is alwas a little chance of adverse reactions to vaccines. You should never be worried about them. If you go to your vet regularly, try to follow his/her instructions sincerely and everything will be fine. Regarding round worm infestation, I would like to tell you something. When she got the infection she was young and I think she has some liver problems due to which she can't digest proteins effectively. So, I would recommend you to give her some liver tonics and try to keep those foods that you have mentioned away from her. After 2-3 months you can feed them again. Now, regarding vaccination, if you have given her all the vaccines i.e all core and noncore vaccines in her early childhood then you can go for booster annually or in every three years as well. You've mentioned that your cats are indoor habituated so, there is nothing much to worry about. Hope this will help you. Thank you All the best.
