I got a phone call asked to help a dog that was hurt so severely that he was unable to stand…when he does manage to get up, he takes a step or two and falls down.he is in a very bad state. we don’t know what happened, writes androdass

he is wet as if he was in a river or something .. we are at the vet…she is all wet and her fever is low , 37 ..

she is shaking, dehydrated, and there are a lot of wounds on her body.. The vet give her warm fluids abd I had blankets and thermaphor in the car..

I am keeping her warm.. she broke my heart.. I want her to live I wan her to make it…. Whe was probably hit by a car and that’s the reason for her condition.. she was thrown in the river …

I m by her side… We are hoping for a miracle. she was named Dara..Please pray for her .

and she certainly had an owner cause she had a collar mark on her neck . what king of a monster do you have to throw out a dog this old ….She probably lived on a chain her whole life .

This Dara is a bit better… she even wanted to eat a bit and drink water .I hope we found her on time

after may days , the positive thing is that she is wagging her tail and she is willing to walk on her own a bit, step by step …

after doing many tests , there is water in the lungs and around the heart and even though she is dehydrated , she can’t be on the IV more cause it can put a strain on her lungs and she could die .

After a long period having different treatements , Dara is in better conditions , I m giving her all the love she needs with the vet treatement , this is all what she needs to be better .

10 Common Dog Health Problems

Some health problems are specific to certain breeds, such as breathing complications for flat-faced dogs. But several other canine health issues can affect any dog. Here are 10 typical health conditions you need to watch out for in your four-legged best friend:

Top 10 Common Dog Health Problems

Skin Problems

One of the most obvious signs that your dog has a skin condition is itching. Other symptoms that may suggest that your dog has a skin problem include rashes, redness, dry skin, lumps, bumps, skin sores, dandruff, and hair loss.

Ear Diseases

Approximately 20 percent of dogs suffer from ear disease. It’s particularly common in breeds with floppy ears like cocker spaniels and basset hounds. It’s common to see wax buildup or discharge in their ear canal. But others may experience pain, itchiness, redness, swelling, and crusting in the ears.

Urinary Tract Infections

Simply known as UTI, this condition can make it uncomfortable for your beloved companion to pass urine. Signs of urinary tract infection include drinking water more than usual and passing urine more often than usual. Your dog may also only pass a small amount or lose bladder control. Additionally, you may see blood in their urine or notice a strong smell to it.

Vomiting

There are countless reasons why your pet may throw up. You don’t need to visit the vet each time your dog vomits. But it’s also not something you can just ignore. Don’t try to guess. If the vomiting persists or occurs with other symptoms like diarrhea or lethargy, you need to rush to the vet. It could be a sign of severe health problems, such as poisoning or gastrointestinal blockage.

Diarrhea

This symptom may occur on its own or be accompanied by vomiting. Its potential causes are similar to vomiting. One or two episodes of diarrhea may not be a pet emergency. But recurring diarrhea can result in dehydration.

Parasites

At some point in their lives, your pet may have to deal with discomfort due to internal or external parasites. Symptoms of parasites generally vary, depending on a few factors. These include the kind of parasite that has plagued your pet, where it lives, and how severe its infestation is.

Dental Issues

Like us, your dog can develop canine dental diseases due to high levels of plaque buildup. Several signs indicate that your pet may have dental disease. These include difficulty eating, bleeding of the gums or teeth, loose teeth, and bad breath.

Obesity

Nearly 30 percent of the general dog population is considered obese. Several factors contribute to a pet’s risk. These include age, genetic predisposition, lack of exercise, and overfeeding, among others.

Arthritis

This joint problem can restrict your dog’s mobility. Bring Fido to the vet if you see your dog slow down or limp before and after walks. Other signs include licking or chewing on tender areas and behavioral changes.

Poisoning

Symptoms of dog poisoning vary widely, depending on the kind of toxin a pet has been exposed to. The signs can range from vomiting to drooling, breathing difficulties, seizures, or worse, coma. Some of the most common poisonous substances are human foods like chocolates, grapes, raisins, onions, and caffeine. Other known culprits are human medications, household cleaning products, pesticides, and some plants.
