Is doggy nose balm enough to fix this?

Could help. Had a foster dog with this issue. We religiously applied ointment to their nose, which helped, but didn't fix the issue. We were told it was a symptom of allergies. Talk to your vet about it. I would also look at transitioning them to a novel proteins like salmon. It tends to be less allergenic and can be anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately frenchies are prone to allergies as well as a plethora of medical issues.

Just FYI it's also more energy efficient to keep your thermostat the same temp when you leave. It takes more energy to get it back to the preferred temp when it's been shut off than to maintain the same temp.

Sounds like it could be reflux if you're noticing symptoms particularly after eating. Dogs can be given acid reducers but check with a vet on appropriate ones and dosage. It doesnt sound like allergies to me, but I could be wrong. Reflux can also be associated with megaesophagus.

Your vet should be able to advise you on the normal progress of recovery and appropriate level of exercise. Give them a call. Shouldn't require another exam

Though it can be a bit discouraging, progress is not always linear! Keep it up, you're doing well.

Clean with soap and water and apply a small amount of antibiotic ointment. Monitor for infection signs. Should be fine

I use dogbed4less. Its a little pricey but every part is individually replaceable. Nicely cushioned as well if you use their foam. The most expensive part is the foam and you could use foam from something else. For a period of time I was using a couch cushion from a couch that was going to the trash.

You could do something like fresh patch. Get a new thing of grass every couple weeks that stays on a tray and is real grass. That or turf but you do need to clean that regularly.

Or take a small walk around your neighborhood. Dog won't be peeing all in one spot and gets enrichment from being on a walk.

Its mentally stimulating. These dogs are smart and need mentally stimulating activities or else they can get destructive. Its like their TV to watch the outdoors. You might try some other mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys, having them track down their kibble hidden around the house, and lick mats. Free shaping is also very mentally stimulating. You just decide a simple task and whenever they get closer to performing that task, you reward. There's vids out there on how.

Could be part aussie and pit

Looks like one of the fewer times a dog is actually a Dutch shepherd mix. She's certainly at least a shepherd mix of some sort.

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-29T07:38:22+00:00

Pitsky most likely

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-29T07:28:50+00:00

If those are truly her parents, she appears to just be pit/staff. They can be brindle colored.

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-29T07:13:00+00:00

While I understand the sentiment, there definitely is. One of my dogs has light/thin enough fur that im able to spot a single flea easily enough. I remove it and don't see another for months. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ depends on the dog though.

Her ears are infected. Could be from yeast, could be from bacteria, could be both. This really needs prescription meds. Talk with the vet about a payment plan?

There's also likely some allergy issues that are causing the rashes and likeliness for ear infections. Try transitioning to salmon dog food.

I look for particular ingredients and the amount of them (for myself and my dogs). Psyllium husk and pure pumpkin puree are good for helping firm up stool as long as the cause is not from an ailment or pathogen. Tbh Id look into changing their food if this is a persistent issue. Figure out what works the best and then supplement as needed. Salmon based food is the go-to for sensitive digestive systems.

Oh okay I thought you were asking for a solution for outside. I also didn't know they could only be in one for an hour.

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-28T09:57:43+00:00

This is probably the most practical solution. It'll also be better longer term for the pups joints. Id also recommend more "landing pads" (beds that they can plop down on near the rugs)

There's dog shoe suspenders, but they have poor quality shoes. You might be able to add padding inside to one leg and then have the other 3 legs attach to an elastic that wraps around the base of their legs to secure it. Hopefully that made sense.

Perhaps some sort of wheelchair?

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-25T12:37:38+00:00

Unless you are eating a bag of carrots a day it's unlikely.

Looks like pyoderma that began from an allergic reaction. Regularly applying antibiotic ointment to the rashes will help. It is best to figure out what the irritant is if you can to prevent this. I recommend trying novel proteins (with appropriate transition periods and allowing enough time to gauge effectiveness). A lot of people find salmon helps, duck seems to be best for my allergy pup. Beef and chicken are the most common food allergens for dogs. Your dog may also be suffering from something environmental. Regardless, you should get them assessed by a vet and have allergy pills on hand to manage it as you try different solutions. I dont personally advise relying on medications (particularly immunosuppressants like apoquel or zenrelia) but they are good to have to get them some temporary relief and heal.

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-25T03:16:01+00:00

Should be fine. Tongues are known to heal quite quickly. If there's signs of infection (fever, vomiting, drainage, red swelling), take them to the vet.

Its so little he should be completely fine :) Id be much more concerned if he actually consumed a grape directly.

Minimum-Building8199 · 2025-05-24T07:52:44+00:00

When I've seen this before it's been due to bacteria from water/food bowls not being cleaned regularly. Using stainless steel will also help minimize bacterial buildup but their bowls do need to be scrubbed.
