| answered a question | Why does my dog sleep on my clothes? They love your smell, and it gives them a sense of comfort! Also, they like having their scent on you as well. |
| answered a question | What do I do if my dog has had diarrhea for 3 days? Definitely go to the vet to rule out any true problems. It might be a simple gastro upset, by why take the chance? Dogs don't replace fluids like humans do when we have diarhhea, so they can get dehydrated easily, which can do a number of other things that cause more serious harm. Rule out the big stuff by going to the vet for an exam/fecal test etc. |
| answered a question | How often should I bathe my poodle? Dog skin is not quite like humans, you should try not to bathe more than 2x per month or you might dry out the skin, especially in the winter. Try an oatmeal shampoo to soothe, and make sure to brush every other day |

| answered a question | What can I give my dog for kennel cough? There is nothing over the counter that is safe for dogs in this case, best to get to a vet asap, it's highly contagious. Kennel cough is super easy to clear up but waiting can lead to the more dangerous (and more costly!) bronchitis/pneumonia |

| answered a question | Is eating deer poop bad for dogs? Generally speaking I'd be worried about parasites, or even Leptospirosis (bacteria that can cause liver and kidney problems) Both intestinal parasites and Lepto are zoonotic as well, meaning theycan be transferred to humans. Best to not let them near it if you can help it. -Emergency Vet tech in Dallas_ |
