Why is my 9-month-old puppy licking, biting, vomiting, not eating?

I'm sorry to hear that Daisy has not been feeling well. The loss of appetite, increased drinking, lethargy, and licking of her vulva following mating (presumably during her heat cycle/ estrus) could be due to a number of causes: a urinary tract infection, pyometra (uterine infection), or pregnancy (although this is less likely to cause some of the signs you've noted). At this point, your best bet is to take Daisy to her vet for an exam, blood work, urinalysis, and possibly abdominal x-rays to try to get to the bottom of this situation so that appropriate treatment can be started. If she has a urinary tract infection, she will need antibiotics, whereas if she has a pyometra, she will need to be spayed immediately because this condition is life-threatening if not addressed urgently. I hope this helps and that all goes well for Daisy!

Some puppies this age can have a sterile vaginitis. It is related to their newly forming hormones. A vet can check for infection, but it isn't very common. Biting at the tail can be caused by itching, fleas, tail issues in pugs, among others. I would discuss this with Poogie's vet. I don't know what you mean about the ears. They appear in a normal position in the picture.

Oh my - it sounds as though Riley has a lot going on. It's likely that his excessive licking is associated with the hair loss that you've noticed, as licking is a sign of itchiness in dogs. I agree that his whining sounds like a sign of discomfort. This could all be associated with his other issues, or due to other skin conditions, like mange, ringworm, or allergies. Vomiting, diarrhea, weight gain, and excessive urination could be due to a number of different health conditions. Some of these possibilities include gastrointestinal viruses, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, liver disease, endocrine disorders (such as Addison's disease), or food allergies. The challenge is that all of these conditions are treated very differently, so it's important to figure out the root cause of all of Riley's issues. At this point, Riley really needs to be examined by his vet and have some diagnostic testing performed. I assume that your vet will likely recommend some baseline bloodwork to check on his organ function, as well as a fecal flotation test for parasites, and skin testing to see if any infectious conditions are present. Based on their findings, they'll be able to come up with the best course of treatment for Riley. I hope that everything goes well!

Sorry that Maxie is having this problem. She really should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. She could have an urinary tract infection or a uterine infection, especially since she isn't spayed. Your vet can run lab-work and take an x-ray, if needed, to help diagnose and then decide the best way to treat. Please call your vet and have her seen.

Pit Bull Terriers are notorious for having skin issues/allergies. That is my best guess as to what is going on. She is probably agitated and that is why she is getting snippy with the other dog. Dogs also lick their feet incessantly when they are stressed out and this may be the case with her if you have brought another dog in the house. Dogs that are not spayed will also have hormonal issues that can cause this behavior. If you are not planning on breeding her it would be best to get her spayed. In the meantime you can try treating her for allergy like symptoms and see if it helps: 1. You need to get an E-collar (cone) to stop her from licking. If she doesn't stop licking the feet will never get better no matter what you do. You can buy them at Petco: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-ecollars?ddkey=https%3ASearchDisplay The collar must be long enough to go past the end of her nose or she will still be able to lick. 2. You can give her some Benadryl - one capsule/tablet for every 25 pounds of body weight (example, if she is 75 pounds she would take 3 capsules). You can do this twice a day. Dogs metabolize this drug very quickly which is why they take such a high dose. 3. Bathe her with medicated shampoo. I would do her whole body the first time and then every 3 days I would do just the feet. Follow the instructions on the bottle. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Veterinary-Formula-Clinical-Care-Hot-Spot-and-Itch-Relief-Medicated-Shampoo-for-Dogs-and-Cats-16-fl-oz/24885757 4. On the days you don't bathe her you can spray her feet down with this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/DOUXO-Calm-Micro-Emulsion-Spray-6-8-oz/184782529 If none of this helps. You should take her to your vet for an exam as there may be something else underlying. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Constant looking on the vulva can indicate an infection in the bladder. There’s not anything you can do for that at home so Bailey needs to see the veterinarian to have her urine tested for an infection or crystals. Try to get her examined today. Constant licking on the hind legs can have many causes but fleas are very common in the area. I recommend to discuss using an oral flea preventative such as Simparica with your veterinarian. If you give her this product and the licking stops, then you know it was due to fleas. In general you can wash her in an oatmeal type dog shampoo as this can help with itching as can an omega-3 fatty acid supplement for pets. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Based on your description this could be a number of things. She is a large breed growing puppy so they often go through spurts of sleepiness where they may not eat as much of their food. With that said, this should then be followed by a spurt of activeness and engorging in her food, within a 24 hr period. If she is lethargic and not eating well for more than a day, then she may have an infection and should be checked out by your vet asap. Pets also don't often pee on themselves, even at this age. This concerns me for a possible urinary tract infection, which causes her to have an inflamed bladder, which then causes her to not be able to pee in a designated area. At almost 3 months of age though, she may still be potty training. At any rate, it is best to get her seen with such vague symptoms, just to make sure she doesn't have an infection and to get her treated right away if there is one present. I hope that your fur baby Sansa feels better soon! Best wishes and take care.
