Symptoms & Conditions

Ear signs can result from infection, allergy, foreign material, parasites, masses, moisture, or anatomy. The eardrum must be assessed before some cleaners or medications are used.

A cough can arise from airway irritation, infection, heart disease, parasites, aspiration, or other problems. The pattern and the dog’s breathing between episodes guide urgency.

Straining may come from the colon, urinary tract, prostate, pain, obstruction, dehydration, or pelvic disease. Confirm whether urine or stool is being produced.

Fresh red blood and black tar-like stool have different implications. Amount, repetition, pain, medication, vomiting, hydration, and overall condition guide urgency.

Blood-colored urine can have urinary, reproductive, blood-clotting, trauma, toxin, or other causes and should be evaluated.
