Common Dog Diseases and Symptoms & Their Treatment

Dogs are man’s best friend, although they are prone to numerous diseases. Recognising dog disease symptoms is crucial, as it indicates that you should take your dog to the vet to prevent minor health issues from escalating into major problems. Here are some of the common dog diseases and how to treat them with natural Veterinary Care and treatments:

1. Canine Parvovirus

A contagious virus that can cause severe vomiting and bloody diarrhoea in puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Symptoms can include bloody stool, lethargy, and loss of appetite. This pet's illness requires prompt veterinary treatment. In addition to veterinary care (intravenous fluids and medications), homoeopathic drops such as Dr. Goel’s Diafine can assist in controlling diarrhoea and restoring health. Get your puppy vaccinated for parvo.

2. Canine Distemper

A severe viral disease that attacks a dog’s respiratory, digestive and nervous system. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny eyes/nose and even seizures in later stages. There’s no cure, but early Veterinary Treatment (fluids, anti-seizure meds) will go a long way to saving your pet. Candisgo homoeopathic drops are a veterinary treatment that supports and defends against distemper in dogs. Distemper can best be prevented with proper vaccination.

3. Kennel Cough (Canine Cough & Cold)

A highly contagious form of bronchitis, characterised by a harsh, hacking cough, often accompanied by retching or a honking sound, may also be associated with a snotty discharge & sneezing. Your dog may sound like he has a nasty cold. It is also essential to keep your pet warm and isolated away from other dogs to stop the spread of this pet disease. For dog treatment, veterinarians commonly advise cough suppressants and, if it is bacterial, antibiotics. For starters, natural relief such as Wheez-Go for Pets may help to calm throat irritation and reduce cough. This homoeopathic product is designed to provide your pet with relief from a cough and/or flu-like symptoms.

4. Skin Allergies and Infections

If your dog has red skin, loses hair, or develops a rash, it may indicate skin problems. Reasons include everything from fleas and ticks to food allergies or fungal infections. A dog coat can protect from diseases, but veterinary care is necessary to address underlying causes (such as parasites, allergies, or infections) and to properly treat the problem. The doctor may prescribe topical creams, medicated shampoo, and oral medication. Gentle veterinary solution for pets, Dermisule Drops is already proving to be effective at treating pets' eczema, hot spots, mange, and allergic rash. Bathe your dog using an anti-tick and Flea Pet Shampoo to remove the fleas and ticks that are causing the itching. For chronic hair fall that dulls the coat, a supplement such as Me & My Skin & Coat granules helps maintain healthy skin on the inside.

5. Intestinal Worms

Worms (roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms) are well-known dog illnesses, and symptoms can easily be identified, including a pot-bellied look, weight loss, and dull fur or worms in stool. Worming is essential for dogs or puppies. Chemical dewormers are effective, though many pet parents prefer more gentle solutions. Wormisule-XP is a homoeopathic preparation to remove all kinds of worms in dogs and cats. This vet-approved solution can be given to pets of all ages and helps to keep your pet’s tummy parasite-free. And that you should follow it with faecal exams and good hygiene to avoid reinfection.

6. Rabies

Rabies is a deadly viral disease of the nervous system and is spread through the bites of infected animals. Thankfully, rabies is 100% preventable by vaccine. In India (and, in fact, everywhere else), your dog is required to be vaccinated against rabies by law. Unvaccinated animals show signs such as altered behaviour, excessive salivation, paralysis, and aggression. Since there is no treatment for rabies in animals, the only prevention is through veterinary care. Keep your dog (and cat) vaccinated against rabies on schedule - this protects your pet and family. If a stray of any kind bites your pet, get veterinary care right away.

These are just a few pet diseases in dogs. Other causes could be canine hepatitis, leptospirosis, and tick-borne fevers (such as ehrlichiosis or babesiosis) – all of which need immediate dog treatment and vet care. The secret is knowing the early warning dog diseases and symptoms, then bringing in a vet for an accurate diagnosis. Quick action and the correct veterinary treatments (traditional medications or natural remedies) will get your pup on the fast track to recovery.

Common Cat Diseases and Veterinary Care Tips

Similar to dogs, cats can also get sick with a variety of common cat diseases. Cats have a natural survival trait of hiding their symptoms of being under the weather, and this is where the cat owner needs to remain aware.

Early detection of cat disease and immediate veterinary care can save your kitty’s life. Below are some common health concerns in cats, and how to deal with them with reasonable care and veterinary treatments:

1. Feline Upper Respiratory Infections (Cat Flu)

If your cat has sneezing, a runny nose, a cough or watery eyes, it could be a feline cold. “Cat flu” is spread readily between cats, commonly transmitted by viruses such as feline herpesvirus or calicivirus.

Keep a sick cat warm, gently clean their eyes/nose discharge and ensure they continue eating (their sense of smell and appetite can decrease with the congestion). Treatment by a vet, if necessary, could involve antiviral supplements or antibiotics for secondary infection.

Wheez-Go for Pets is a homoeopathic respiratory relief that is safe for veterinary use and can be administered to cats to relieve them of coughing, sneezing, and congestion. Never in a combo shelter should a cat with URI be mixed with other cats to avoid infecting them.

2. Feline Panleukopenia (Distemper in Cats)

This is a pet disease every cat owner should know. Panleukopenia (feline parvovirus) is commonly referred to as feline distemper and is highly contagious and potentially fatal, especially to kittens. It leads to high fevers, vomiting, severe diarrhoea and dehydration.

Infected cats can deteriorate quickly, so immediate veterinary attention is required (the cat usually needs to be hospitalised for fluids and support). Like with canine parvo, there’s no direct cure – it comes down to intensive care and nurturing the immune system. The drug diafine drops (used for diarrhoea) can manage symptoms in addition to vet treatment. The most critical part of preventing feline panleukopenia is getting your cats the preventative panleukopenia vaccine on time.

3. Parasites – Fleas, Ticks, and Worms

Outdoor cats in India often grapple with fleas and ticks, leading not only to itching and skin infections but also to disease transmission (like tick fever). Routine grooming and checking of your cat’s coat will help you catch infestations early. Comb finely to watch for fleas or flea dirt. These pests can be treated with monthly spot-on applications or anti-flea shampoos.

A gentle and effective way to keep your furry friend’s coat parasite-free is Goel Vet Pharma’s Anti-Ticks and Flea Shampoo. Internal worms and other issues can occur, even in indoor cats, as they can eat worm eggs from raw food of pests. Regular deworming every 3-6 months is essential for cat care.

An all-natural dewormer like Wormisule-XP works on cats as well, flushing out roundworms, tapeworms and other worms without any harsh side effects. Keeping your cat free of parasites not only avoids discomfort but also prevents anaemia or even weakness from these pet diseases.

4. Skin Fungus (Ringworm)

Although its name suggests otherwise, ringworm is actually a fungal infection that can impact cats (and be passed along to humans). It creates circular patches of hair loss with red, crusty skin. Kittens or cats that are under stress are more susceptible to ringworm. If you see suspicious bald patches, get a vet diagnosis.

Treatment for ringworm in dogs and cats includes antifungal shampoos or creams, and, in severe or hard-to-cure cases, oral medications. What’s more, strengthening the immune system helps combat fungal infections – supplements like Me & My Skin & Coat granules can assist in skin healing for both cats and dogs. When dealing with a cat with ringworm, you must wear gloves and disinfect the environment, as the fungus spreads easily through fur and bedding.

5. Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD)

Urinary issues (straining to pee, blood in urine, peeing outside of the litter box) are common in our adult cats (particularly the males). Bladder infections, bladder stones, or stress-induced cystitis can be causes. This is extremely dangerous if the cat is blocked (is not able to urinate). Any signs of distress or many unproductive trips to the litter tray should prompt an urgent trip to the vet. Treatment may include clearance of the blockage, antibiotics, dietary modification and pain control.

To help maintain urinary tract health, feed your cat plenty of water to drink. Cystigo drops are homeopathically formulated to provide support for pets experiencing urinary issues, allowing them to be used alongside vet-prescribed treatment. To prevent health issues, keep your cat at a healthy weight by feeding a good diet and lowering stress at home.

Cats can also experience further complications such as diabetes, kidney disease, or feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) as they age. Having regular vet visits, even blood tests at home, and the willingness to be proactive in any change in your cat’s behaviour (hiding, not eating, water intake, etc.) will assist your vet in catching illness problems earlier.

Remember that unless you are a veterinarian, your pet can’t be treated without one! Prompt Veterinary Attention and proper veterinary treatments (medications, natural remedies, etc.) offer your pet the best opportunity of a long and healthy life!

Preventive Veterinary Care and Holistic Solutions

The old saying “prevention is better than cure” is absolutely true when it comes to pet diseases. By investing time in preventive Veterinary Care, you can spare your pet from many illnesses. Here are some essential preventative tips and veterinary solutions for pet parents in India:

• Vaccinations: Make sure that your dogs and cats receive all core vaccinations on schedule. Vaccines can help protect pets against deadly diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis in dogs and panleukopenia and rabies in cats. Your vet will advise you on how often. Perhaps a crucial yet straightforward task in pet parenting is to retain a vaccination card and reminders in place. It is the first step for the veterinarian to prevent diseases before they break out.
• Diet and Supplements: Feed a nutritionally balanced, species-appropriate diet. Good diets support the immune system in defence against infection in pets. You can also add supplements for additional support. For instance, Me & My Immunity from Goel Vet Pharma is a supplement that enhances the pet’s overall immune function. Healthy immunity is the best defence against common diseases. Also, liver tonics (such as Dr Goel’s Livomate) help keep the liver healthy and stimulate appetite, which is particularly helpful if your pet has been previously sick or on medication. A pet that is in good health is a pet less prone to disease.
• Periodical deworming and parasite control: In India, parasites thrive throughout the year due to the climate. Regularly deworm your dogs and cats (ask your vet how often). In addition to what was discussed above, Wormisule-XP is a safe dog worm treatment and cat worm treatment for internal worms. For flea/tick prevention, use tick/flea collars, spot-ons or shampoos regularly, especially if your pet goes outside or interacts with other animals. By preventing flea and tick infestations, you also prevent the spread of pet diseases spread by those parasites (like tick fever or tapeworm infections).
• Hygiene and grooming: Keep your pet’s area clean. Disinfect food bowls, beds, and litter pans regularly to minimise germ accumulation. Groom your pets — brushing out their fur gets rid of dirt and lets you see skin problems or ticks. With long-eared breeds, you should clean their ears once a week to prevent infections (ear infections are a frequently occurring dog disease that’s easily prevented with regular care). Products like Govet Mullein Oil Ear Drops help prevent ears from mites and relieve irritation. A tidy pet is not only more attractive, but also healthier.
• Exercise and Mental Health: A fit pet has a stronger immune system. Provide your dog with daily walks and play activities. Keep your cat active with play and climbing. Exercise helps prevent obesity (which can cause diabetes and joint issues) in pets. It’s also essential to take your pet’s mental health into account. An animal’s health can actually be weakened by anxiety and stress. Festivals and separation can be stressful for pets. In India, fireworks during Diwali and wedding seasons are a well-documented cause of dogs’ episodes of anxiety. If you have a fearful pet, ensure they have a secure and quiet hiding area, and consider using natural calming aids. Stressza drops are an excellent homoeopathic animal remedy for those stress-related issues in pets, such as anxiety, separation, fear, disturbing barking, and ruining habits. Holistic Veterinary Care keeps your pet emotionally happy.
• Regular Vet Check-ups: Do not wait for your dog to be sick to visit the vet. Annual health check-ups (or twice-a-year visits for senior pets) can pick up problems like dental disease, early tumours, or silent heart disease before they progress. Your vet can also consult on emerging local disease risks. Proactive Veterinary Care saves money and heartache later on.

By following these preventative tips, you’ll lessen the risk of serious pet maladies. And if problems do come up, you are better prepared to meet them.
