A dog that has been in contact with many other dogs, perhaps at a shelter situation may have gotten an upper respiratory infection. A loud, noisy cough is often a characteristic of infectious canine tracheobronchitis. Some cases can be mild with the pet showing few other changes, but in other cases the dog may be quite ill and show a lack of appetite, be lethargic and have some respiratory difficulties. Depending on the degree of severity the dog will need rest, a good diet, perhaps some antibiotics and should be isolated from other dogs to avoid spreading the disease. More complicated cases may need further intervention as determined by the veterinarian.

30 Apr 00:00

Many dogs experience gas. The problem can be dietary or medical. The first step is a physical examination to rule out a medical problem. The examination should include a fecal check for intestinal parasites and perhaps tests of pancreatic function. If all is normal, in some cases changing the diet may help. Purina ONE Lamb and Rice Formula is one possible choice for a different diet.

My Golden Retriever "puppy" likes to chew on things. She has been very good...

30 Apr 00:00

It is quite normal for a young dog to investigate their environment and chew on items as part of that process. It is important to provide plenty of appropriate chew toys to avoid damage to household items and to prevent the puppy from ingesting dangerous items. When the puppy cannot be supervised, she should be placed in a safe, dog proofed area. Proper chew toys should be provided. These can be hard rubber toys that have been stuffed with food to make them more attractive. In some situations a puppy might enjoy manipulating feeder toy to get their meal. Rotating toys and providing different ones daily can help direct normal puppy chewing to the right place.

At no time should yogurt be placed into the ear canal. Chronic ear infections require veterinary intervention to help them get better. In many cases the dog needs to have a culture of the ear taken to determine the cause of the infection; yeast, bacteria, or fungus. Once that is known appropriate therapy can be started. In some cases the ear canal will need to be cleaned out under anesthesia to remove the material accumulated so that medication can reach the source of the infection. Many chronic infections require treatment for several weeks or months to adequately treat the problem.

Depending on the time of year, a dog or puppy may loose a great deal of his undercoat. A puppy will also loose some of their "puppy" fur as he grows an adult coat. An infection or allergy could also cause hair loss. If there are bald areas where the hair is not growing back or the dog is scratching and pulling out the hair, a veterinary visit is needed.

Expert Cat Care Advice From the Purina ONE Online Vet

Updated: 18 Dec 22:12

I have 3 cats. I've been feeding them Purina ONE Advanced Nutrition Hairball Formula...

30 Jan 00:00

While feeding all the cats out of one common bowl is often easier, there are drawbacks. First, one cat can over eat and become over weight. Second, it is very difficult to know how much each cat is consuming and food consumption is a good marker of health. It would be a good idea to put out three separate bowls and fill each with 3/4 to one cup a day. This will help you observe the cats eating and know how much food is consumed daily. Next, if the cats are over weight then a change to Purina ONE Healthy Weight formula might be a good idea.

My cat just had 5 of the cutest kittens. How can I make sure they are healthy?

30 Jan 00:00

While the kittens are nursing it is important that the mother cat have a diet that can meet her nutritional needs. Purina ONE Growth & Development formula would be a good choice. It also can be used for the kittens when they are being weaned. Once the kittens are a bit older (between 4-5 weeks) a veterinary visit is a good idea for a first basic examination. If you keep them after they are 6-7 weeks be sure to return to your veterinarian to start their vaccinations.

My cat chases her tail and screeches at it very loudly. Is there a way to stop this...

30 Jan 00:00

This type of behavior may have many different causes. A painful condition in the tail or rectal area may cause the cat to vocalize and chase her tail. In other situations a cat may be suffering from a behavioral disorder such as a compulsive disorder or a psychomotor seizure that causes the behavior. A veterinary visit is essential to determine the cause and to prescribe appropriate treatment.
