Because humans have more efficient ways of cooling like sweating. Also we don't have fur like dogs. A dogs way of cooling is panting but that is not as efficient as humans sweating. Ps dogs usually don't sweat and if they do it does not cool them off it is a way of getting rid of excess water. Humans do it to cool off though. Hope this helped!

my 100#Siberian husky had a fungal rash similar to jock itch and our vet ok'd the use of cephalexin oral antibiotic 500mg 3 times a day but i thought that might be harsh on her stomach so i gave her 500mg a day for 5 days and it did the trick. it is commonly used for bacterial infections not viral. call any vet for advice before you decide

A dog's heart rate typically ranges from 60 to 140 beats per minute, depending on the breed, size, and age of the dog. Regular exercise, excitement, stress, and health conditions can also affect a dog's heart rate.

Yes, a dog could become sick from eating cooked salmon that was left out overnight as it could contain harmful bacteria that may cause food poisoning.

If your dog shows any signs of illness, it is important to consult with a veterinarian.

Hydrogen peroxide can be used after an extraction but it may irritate the skin. Estheticians recommend using a mild toner instead.

My English Bulldog ate saran wrap. We initially did not know what was wrong with her. She threw up for the second time and that is when we noticed the saran wrap. She continued to throw up clear liquids with white foam then after about the 10th time her liquid vomit started to turn a beige/brown shade (indicator of blood). We took her to the vet and got x-rays and an ultrasound. Nothing appeared with either of these scans. All together she threw up 17 times. We admitted her in the animal hospital so she could have 24 hour care and intravenous. She seemed okay the following 9 hours after admission but then she started having bloody diarrhea. Behaviorally she presented well, although a bit tired. We discharged her after 2 nights stay at the animal hospital and she was prescribed meds to help her not vomit and help with the diarrhea and irritated stomach. All seemed well for a couple days then we noticed she developed a rash on her belly (round red spots). These spots would come and go a couple times a day. Nearly 2 weeks after the initial incident, she stopped getting the spots and then passed another 2 pieces of additional saran wrap in her feces. Since she passed the saran wrap she has completely recovered. We are not sure what may have been in the saran wrap she ate but we are fairly certain that the saran wrap was the root cause of the throwing up, diarrhea and probably the rash. At the end of the day her body processed it and when she finally expelled it, she recovered.

The last three days of a lunar cycle are often referred to as the waning crescent phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the Moon visible from Earth decreases each day until it is no longer visible, marking the end of the lunar cycle.

I wouldn't suggest just letting your dog chew on a pencil, but I don't think it will kill them. My dog has chewed on several pencils (without me knowing until finding the evidence) and so far nothing has happened to her. She was still the same as far as hyper activity and she didn't vomit or have diarrhea. But, with that, all dogs are different just as people are different and one dog might react to something differently than another.

Distilled water is about the same as any other water, the only difference is that it has minerals taken out of it. It is OK for dogs, just make absolute sure that they are up to standards for minerals. Spring water is ideal for the natural minerals.

Dogs and humans have different immune systems and cellular receptors, so viruses that can infect one species may not be able to infect the other. Additionally, genetic differences between species can affect virus transmission and replication within host cells.

Yes, eating an aloe plant can make a dog sick. Aloe can cause gastrointestinal upset in dogs, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and potential lethargy. It's best to keep aloe plants out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion.

It depends if it is a miniature Maltese or a normal Maltese.

You can't tell the difference when they are puppies - but a look at their mother / father should give you a clue.

A fully grown miniature could grow to around 30 cms long - whilst a normal Maltese will be twice this.

Although the Maltese has been added to the NSW 'dangerous dogs' list, if they are treated firmly from young, then they can me very loving little dogs quite safe around children. The problem (I suspect) is that they are 'lap dogs' and thus are frequently spoiled by their owners giving them the idea that they are the leader of the pack (i.e. higher in the pecking order than the owners!!!).

Hope this helps.

Animals may have long noses to help them gather more scent molecules, which can aid in hunting, seeking out food, or detecting predators. Long noses can also help regulate body temperature by cooling the air before it enters the body.

Ocean water can be turned into drinking water through a process called desalination. This process removes salt and other impurities from seawater, making it safe to drink. Desalination can be done using methods such as reverse osmosis or distillation.

The beans in the pod of Prosopis Mesquite is a legume and consumed by humans and therefore does not appear to have toxic chemicals .It is also eaten by wild animals like coyote in Mexican deserts and therefore may be safe for dogs however there is no evidence of its long term use and harmful effects.
