Her nose is really warm and dry and she has a stuffy nose what do I do
Ruby's eye being warm and dry is not a sign of illness. A dog's nose can go from wet and cold to warm and dry just from sitting in the sun, and laying next to a heat source. I would have her seen by a vet for the stuffy nose to get medication to treat it.

I am a 3 year old tabby (mixed breed) female and my nose bleeds sometimes. It hurts and I need to know what I have. I also have a red spot on my mouth where fur does not grow. Thanks for any help The picture shows my bloody nose.
Hi Rubee, I'm sorry you aren't feeling well! Thank you for proving pictures of yourself, you are very cute. There are a couple of reasons why your nose is bleeding including a respiratory infection, trauma, foreign body, or toxin exposure such as rat poison. As for your mouth, it could be that there was some trauma to that area, and you may be licking it preventing it from healing. Because it's not normal to have a bloody nose and the fact that it is painful for you, I would speak to your human about taking you into a vet today or first thing in the morning. I'm sure you don't like seeing the vet, but the vet will be able to help you with your bloody nose so it feels better. I hope this helps!

4yr old English working cocker spaniel has developed dry skin with hair loss/thinning on her sides over the last 3 weeks. She isn’t itching at all and is fine in every other way. A pimple type sore has come up on one patch. She doesn’t seem to have f
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Judging from the pictures and your description, I would suspect that this could be due to a superficial bacterial skin infection. I would recommend using a shampoo such as Duoxo PS + chlorhexidine combination shampoo, fish oil such as Welactin and essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent. If there is no improvement with the skin / hair coat worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at Ruby so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I purchased a 2 year old dachshund from a breeder 2 months ago. He was very affectionate to both my mom and myself for the first 5 weeks but lately he has started being very clingy to me and not my mom. He only wants to sit with me on the couch and
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Dogs are thankfully all about treats and affection. I would recommend that you consider having your mom give him treats and as much affection as possible. Usually with treats he will most likely get to like her company more and more. This will likely help. Good luck!

I have a 10 year old half boxer and half beagle that has these rounding black spots on her back side that when scraped, the skin comes off and it's red?
Those look like infections on Honey. Generally they are bacterial but ringworm (which humans can get) is possible. If they are in fact bacterial, many times the body will clear them up on its own. If it does not go away or gets worse (or Honey is itchy) take her into the vet. Sometimes dogs just get these infections. Other times it indicates allergies or endocrine disorders. Thank you for using Pet Coach!
