What an owner should be on the look out for in watching for signs of distemper such as squinting and/or a discharge from the eyes. If this occurs in tandem to loss of weight, vomiting, coughing, nasal drips, and diarrhea, there is more cause for concern.
Toys are a fun way to enjoy with your dog in a sunny day at the park. But be sure to apply proper safety measures especially when playing with balls, sticks and stones. You do not want to harm them in any way. Remember, this is a dog-eat-dog world! Even as harmless as playing can cause indestructible damage to your dog.
Owners should be aware of the things their pets eat and play with. Rawhide chews, knobby plastic toys and some other items are also part of dental hygiene, as they are not hard enough to damage teeth and help in the cleaning process. However, small toys and real bones should be monitored, as they would pose problems if they break into pieces and are swallowed.

The treatment of acute tonsillitis consists in removing the cause, and in applying antiseptic and alleviatory measures to the inflamed tonsils. Various germkilling agents, such as penicillin or aureomycin, may be used either in tablet or injectable form. As stated above, chronic tonsillitis does not respond readily to routine treatment and surgery is the best alternative.

Bloody urine is due mainly to an inflammation of the bladder or of the urethra, the tube that conducts the urine from the bladder to the outside. The inflammation may be due to injury, infection, or the accumulation of stones or gravel in the affected parts. Dogs withstand bladder and urethra inflammations quite well and seem to maintain their normalcy in every other respect for variable periods. Neglect of the symptom may result in stoppage of the urine flow, in which case portions of the retained urine may be absorbed into the blood and lead to uremia and death.

Diabetes mellitus is caused essentially by some disturbance in the pancreas in which the organ loses its ability to secrete a substance called insulin, thereby disrupting the whole sugar metabolism. The cause of diabetes insipidus is much more uncertain. It has been observed during the convalescence of certain infectious diseases; it may be associated with certain diseases of the nervous system; it may sometimes result from a cold, liver or spinal damage, certain irritant medicine, or from infection.
