Hi Kristina,

I can't be certain about what's going on, but drooling usually indicates nausea or even having ingested something toxic. It's possible your dog has a bad virus, but she might have also gotten into something she shouldn't have eaten.

Right now, the best thing to do is call your vet and relay these symptoms. If this is a case of ingesting something toxic, you'll need the vet's help right away.

Thanks for sharing your situation, and I hope your dog will be alright. Please let us know what you find out.

Hi Rjnewren,

Please understand that I am not a vet, and you will need one to get a proper diagnosis on your pet. That said, this dog might have a thyroid condition, especially if the hair loss is not accompanied by any obvious itching or irritation. The best thing you can do is make an appointment for an exam with your vet. With the right medication, your dog may regain his undercoat.

Thanks for your question, and best wishes for your dog's health.

What does this coat/skin condition appear like? We have a year old Pug from the shelter whose coat has areas down the middle of the back and partially on the sides where it appears he only has guard hairs (?) and not a good undercoat

Hi Kayla,

I can't be sure without seeing the rash, but it sounds a lot like puppy pyoderma. This is something your vet should be able to clear up with a little medication. Go ahead and make an appointment before the condition spreads. It's always easiest to treat skin disorders in the early stages.

Thanks for your question. :)

Hi Becky,

Pregnancy always carries some level of risk, but it's slightly higher when breeding a bitch for the first time after five years old. The uterus typically isn't as elastic as it would have been in the bitch's prime. Dilation during delivery can also be a problem. Personally, I've always retired my bitches from breeding at age five, although I do know of other breeders who have continued to breed past this age. There's just no way to predict what will happen. Your bitch could sail through without a problem, but you should keep the risks in mind as you weigh whether the breeding is truly worth it.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it all works out for you. Thanks for your question.
