My dog has just vomited heaps of dry food and then after eating grass wetter vomit. She is rubbing both sides of her face along the grass and now the carpet. She's also scratching behind her ear. Ive checked for a tick or something there but I'm puzzled. Help?

He's also been having bad breath along with runny nose and eye boogers that are ether hard or greenish an oozing.

My boxer had the same problem. Scratching behind his ears and the sides of his nose til they bled. Rubbing his face and ears on the carpet. Violently shaking his head from side to side; whimpering and crying out in anguish and pain. Also there was a "corn chips" smell coming from his ears (telltale sign of yeast infection) The vet said no mites, no fleas, but turns out to be a yeast infection and allergies from his food. Kibbles n bits. (Main ingredient is corn) we stopped feeding him that and instead feed him mostly grain free dog food and some plain yogurt once in a while. Also had to bathe him more frequently using a shampoo specifically to kill fungus. We just had to make sure not to dry up the oil on his skin or coat so gave him alaskan Salmon Oil ( they sell it at Walmart) Couldn't believe the difference in such a short amount of time. Stay strict with his diet and bathe him more frequently until yeast infection is completely gone. No SUGARS

My jack Russell had eight teeth out she's a rescue dog so not sure what she had been fed prior to us adopting her she must now be doing it for fun or to clean her face as she's still doing this

Our Scrappy Doo is a 7 year old chiweenee.(Dashound & Chee-Wa-Wa) Rubbing mug in floor/ grass till bloody/injured and completely disturbed in pain. He also has excessive licking between the toes. However if you examine your pet you'll know. Scrappy is short hair and over maintence so he don't allow bugs on board.
Your dog having these symptoms needs diet regulation.
Scrappy ate human food and I'm responsible just trying to help.

My yorkie is doing this? He just started it 3 days ago I have treated him for fleas but he is acting really strange. He keeps rubbing on the couch and his bed, I'm feeling helpless just now. He's always good health and happy now he's frustrated and looks depressed some times. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

If you have a small dog that rubs his head on the carpet, won't eat hard food, has bad breath then have his teeth checked. My adopted havanese had a severe tooth infection causing him to lose 32 of his 42 teeth.

Your dog has an infection. Please get him to a veterinarian ASAP!!
Michelle
Sounds like the poor thing is suffering from severe allergies! I hope you are able to bring her to the vet as soon as possible!!

I just rescued a yorkiepoo that does this often and with gusto. Most of the time she's a chill little pup but man sometimes she just goes for it rubbing her face on the floor.
I don't know much of her history before me, she's 2ish months old and I just took her to the vet yesterday for a health check. She's 100% healthy. So I think it's just a weird stimulating thing for her. She also hides under my coffee table. She's weird. Lol.

My dog keeps rubbing his face against the carpet,
he does not like doing this as when he does on accident he stops but now I see my golden retriever rubbing his face all the time could there be an explanation?
Estou aflita para conseguir uma solução para o meu cachorro para de esfregar o focinho inteiro quando faz seu xixi. Não entendo o pq ele faz isso, fico muito brava pq esta todo limpinho veio do banho e quando ele vai no tapete higiênico faz xixi e esfrega o focinho fica fedido com o pelo horrível. Por favor alguém consegue me ajudar?
Hi,. My shorkie is backwards sneezing at night. She also coughs to clear her passages when coming from outside. The worrisome thing for me is at night she moves from her bed to sleep on the floor. She's always been very healthy and she just turn five. Grateful for any answers. We just lost our 14 year old terrier could it be a reaction? Thanks in advance 😃
Tenho um Pug de 1 ano e meio e sempre vejo ele esfregando a carinha na cama e nas cobertas e tb coçando muito os dois ouvidos. Cheirei para ver se era infecção mas não tem cheiro forte...será que o soro fisiológico é o suficiente para limpar?

That's CVD or Canine Vestibular Disease. Needs to see the vet; antibiotics, antihistamines, going to need a lot of support and tlc. The dog's organs of balance have been compromised, deep within the ears; the horizon has gone. Recovery is possible. It's not a 'stroke', which many owners think it is. No slippery floors, put down mats, assist with feeding and drinking, support whilst outside, remove any objects that the dog might crash into. The eye movements are called nystagmus. Google canine vestibular disease, lots of support out there.
Michelle
Hello my name is michelle and I have a problem with my dog she’s a boxer and she tends to rub her face on the rugs and plus the outside grass in dirt and she comes back inside my house and I see her eyes are covered in blood sometimes and I tend to help her by cleaning her ears with wipes and plus read remedies that kills ear mites like garlic with olive oil and I put the liquid for ear mites and she go’s and keeps on doing the exact thing every day rub everything if I don’t walk her or watch her what should I do ohh and she has a big black patch on the side of her skin and idk if it’s an allergic reaction to her food idk like I buy her the healthy dog food like bentiful and can food like ol’roy sometimes other foods like natural recipes

HELP!!! My mini poodle was born half blind and the only thing that the breeder and vet could come up with is that it’s genetics...(we had him fixed so it would not happen anymore to another dog near us) but he’s been rubbing his eye on the carpet some mornings and nights and I took him out the other day and he started rubbing his eye on the CONCRETE PARKING LOT!!!! I stopped him immediately and asked my mother who works with the vet what to do and she was lost because we don’t know exactly 100% what it is that’s caused his condition. So we tried childerens benedryl and prescription eye drops for him and it helped the first couple of days then it stopped working and that’s how we got to him rubbing it on concrete. His right eye is completely white from the time he opened his eyes and his left eye looks like half of it is rolled back, so he can see about 10-15%. but for the first 4 months he didn’t blink at all he closed his eyes a little when he slept but after the 4 months it’s almost like he gained his sensitivity and he used to not even feel pain or react to it, I mean needles/injections, walking into metal poles or running full speed into a door plenty of times he just keeps on we even tested him by pinching near tender skin and it was almost like he didn’t even know. But after he turned 5 months old it was almost like having a non disabled dog he could walk with me off the leash and potty training was going great and now he doesn’t leave my side and seems really agitated near his eyes and just rubs them constantly please help me figure out what might be wrong he’s 6 and a half months now and I want him with me for as long as possible
Marla Houseman
Could rubbing face be from stress, not allergies?
Roscoe
You are so right..My dog is %100 healthy and loves to rub his pretty face in grass all the time. Its a possible instinct they have to mask their odor as well as to massage his face..
Ross Kincaid
Just sprayed flea killer on top rear of dog. His fur is so thick that fleas never are affected by normal application. I tried a brand of spray and my dog rubbed his face in the carpet and grass for 30 min strait. The did not go anywhere near his head but obviously he was affected
Adam
It could be a tumor called a nasal caudal frontal mass, consider a vet neurologist
Cody W.
Yes! So does my dog. They're just being playful. =)

My female Jack Russell does this after eating sometimes! I thought she did it as a sign she really enjoyed what she was eating but cleaning her face makes more sense!

Our lab suffers from irritation under his chin and will throw himself on the floor and slide his jawline along the carper - any ideas what I can use on him to help?
Nitin Devnani
I have a 1 year old Lab, he was rubbing his nose and was not sitting idle and having breathing problem, when i went to vet, he told the dog was having anaphylactic shock and you have come to me in right time. So i don’t know what cause my lab to have serious allergy. Any suggestion on how to find allergy source that caused it. ?

My terrier sits with her nose flat on the floor or the rug and doesn’t move for a while. This is something I have never seen before. I wonder if any one else has had this happen and if they know why. She is 4 months old

Wonder if this may be due to some allergy?

My little Yorkie Poo 9 months old and as soon as we go out he starts rolling on his back on Lawn. Is this a normal for puppy's.? He also do rub his face on couch on rug right after he finish eating. Is this something to be concerned about?

I suggest you do not give your dog vindaloo anymore. He has a very sensitive mouth like all dogs, and the spice is too much for him as well as not being good for him. As the poem by Pam Ayres goes:
Love is like a curry and i'll explain it to you,
That love comes in three flavours, cold, hot, and vindaloo.
Of course it's like a curry,
It cannot be denied,
For both are full of spice and both have dishes on the side.
- Pam Ayres
so my simple advice to you is if you love your dog, don't give him any more vindaloo.
2 dog parent
I would suggest checking for possibility of yeast infection. There are over the counter shampoos for yeast, etc. Or call your Vet.
2 dog parent
Poor baby. If he is bleeding I suggest the Vet, before it gets infected. I believe it could be a yeast infection. Maybe even an ear infection. Just possibilities.
Deanie
My 3yr old Chihuahua seems to enjoy rubbing his face on carpet and throw rugs.. He does mostly after eating.. Thought it might be from food getting stuck in his teeth so I rub his jaws forward & he opens his mouth like hes yawning We started calling it "wash that face" & the more we repeat the more he does it.He is a long hair chi mix so after reading all these post I've come to conclusion it's a grooming habit.

My dogs rub their faces in the carpet after their baths! Even after drying them, they still do it. But actually they could be rubbing their ears along the carpet to get the water out, just how we tilt our heads and shake to get water out of our ear canals. I saw some videos where groomers pull hair out of a few dogs' ear canals because the hair were irritating, causing the dogs to be in a unpleasant mood. After the hair were removed, the dogs deposition were improved. So look closely at your pet and see if he/she is rubbing face or ears. Ear infections are common in pets and should be looked into more often.

Could my dog’s excessive facial rubbing be caused by eating peanut butter?
Robert
My dog is so sensitive. If you pat her she absolutely loves it more than Normal. Her chest and her back area. She also sits and will turn and whine but she doesn't shoot just slightly turns to the side. She is a rescue and had a good evaluation at the vet. Thank for reading.

Muy buen articulo. Agradezco haberlo leido. Ya tengo la idea de lo que pudo suceder con mi Boarder Collie. Sucede que lavando el garage, mate un cienpies rojo y grande. Al cabo de unas horas, mi Boarder llego e inmediatamente olió el sitio donde pisé el cienpies. En ese mismo instante mi perra tuvo una reaccion inmediata de arquear su espalda como estremeciendose, a lo cual, un tanto desconcertada y en una rapida reación, ella bajo su rostro al piso y miré como si estuviera tratando de impregnarse de ese olor. Como si le causara una emoción, mas no se si negativa o positiva, o tal vez erotica... no lo sé. Y ahora que lo pienso, ¿estaria tratando de matar ella misma al insecto? despues de unos dos o tres minutos, ella volvio a la normalidad de siempre. y regreso al sitio del olor como 3 veces nadamas.

だから私の犬は彼女が台所に置かれているときにこれを行い、私たちは彼女をそれから追い出す。これは単に機能亢進ですか？
私のパグはほぼ2歳で、彼は絨毯やソファに顔をこすり、最近は脱毛症が発生していて、上唇に赤みがあります。彼は鼻水のabitを持っていますが、私はそれが心配しないで放電が明らかである場合は、緑または黄色だけ心配してください。私は鼻水が赤みを引き起こしていると思っていましたが、すぐに止まるでしょうが、今は彼が出血していて、心配しています。
どのように私はこれを改善することができますか？獣医への旅行は必要ですか？
私の犬はシツとパグの間のクロスです。彼は非常に毛羽立つラウンドです。私は彼の顔の周りに彼を切りました。彼は耳の感染のために長く治療されていませんが、彼はまだカーペットで彼の顔をこすり、 3歳の救助隊
こんにちは私はいくつかの助けが必要です。私はちょうど彼女が混ざっていると確信しているかわいいちょっと救いましたが、何で確かではありません。彼女は犬の食べ物を食べずに、彼女の顔を絨毯にこすり続け、彼女は食べ物を二度投げた。私は獣医に電話したが、彼は金曜日まで戻っていない。助言がありますか？私は彼女を浴びせた。彼女はダニやノミがない。私は彼女の耳をチェックし、彼女は刺激や感染の兆候はありません。どんな提案や助けもありがとう！
citrazinとセフィキシムとの組み合わせでパンドールシロップを水またはミルクと5日間1日に1回混ぜて与える
どのくらいの駄目だ！耳感染症？ほとんど！彼らはそれが良いと感じるのでそれをする。カーペット、芝生、雪の中でも。明らかに、あなたは獣医を奨励し、人々は自分のお金で軽薄であるべきだと思っています。
こんにちは、
私はいくつかのアドバイスをお願い致します。あなたは朝の彼らの顔をこすっている犬についてのあなたの記事に言及しています。私の研究室のポピーは、午前中にちょうど彼女のあごをこすり、非常に過度に擦り、それからそれを1日数回傷つけます。彼女は、季節性の花粉、真性虫歯/カビおよびノミの唾液にアレルギーがあることを示す血液検査を受けています。彼女はまた食物アレルギーを持っていますが、血液検査は何を言いませんでしたか（別の250ポンド）。私はアレルギーを排除するためにできるすべてのことをやったが、依然として彼女は傷ついている。私は彼女に1年前に生の食餌療法の食事を与え、彼女が彼女の顔の肉に反応することができるかどうか疑問に思った？ちょうど長いショット。私は顎をこするだけで何かを知っていたのだろうか？ああ、彼女は外陰部をかなり舐める。タニアThankありがとう
彼女は私のカーペットを食べている!!

私の犬は、彼の顔を絨毯にこすりつけ、足をなめる。耳は獣医によってチェックされて完全にきれいです。私は何が間違っているのか理解できません。
私の2歳のshih tzuは同じことをします。私は彼女を数回獣医に迎え入れ、彼らは健康で、何が原因であるか知らないと言う。彼女は6週齢で、彼女の食べ物や何も変えていないので、私たちは彼女を敬愛します。私は彼女について心配していますが、私はその問題を和らげるために何をすべきか分かりません。

なぜ私の救助、4歳のビーグル犬が絨毯の上で鼻、枕、枕、床に毛布をこすっているのかを知りたがっていた。彼は外出した後、朝起きたとき、または長い昼寝をした後で、それを楽しむようだ。これまでのところ、彼は演奏しているか、彼の香りを床に置いているようです。彼がそれをするとき、私は彼に "かゆみの鼻"を1分ほど教えてくれるでしょう、そして、彼は遊び心のある樹皮や草を作ってもとても遊び心があります。他の誰かがこれを続けていて、なぜそうしたのか不思議に思っていました。彼は乾燥した缶詰の食べ物を食べる。通常は穀物がない。そして、彼は私と一緒にバナナを共有しています。けがをしているペットがいるあなたの人には申し訳ありません。私が彼を獲得してから起こった最悪の事は、彼が非常に分離していることです。私は彼に私の睡眠薬の半分（彼の獣医のアドバイスによる）、落ち着いた錠剤と雷鳴のシャツを与えました。彼は飛行機に入れてしまったので、外に出ようとしている間に彼の前歯のいくつかを壊して破損してしまった。私たちはすべて、私たちの毛皮の赤ちゃんを愛し、それらのために最高のものを欲しいだけです。
なぜそんなに狭い？それは本当に犬はカーペット、ベッド、草などに良い顔をこすって愛している間、非常に異なる意味を持つことができる他の付随的な行動があります。例えば、犬が出血の地点に擦れている場合、これは喜びを示すものではありません。私のスピッツポムは良い顔をかなり頻繁にこすりますが、最近は片目を同時に点滅させながら揺られて震えています。彼は擦っている間に吠えたり喘ぎ声を掛けたりすることが知られていますが、彼が幸せになると気まずいたり震えたりはしません。これらは何らかの苦痛の徴候です。彼は季節性のアレルギーを患っていることが知られているので、自分が楽しんでいると思う前に、自分がかゆいと思う傾向があります。彼らが毛皮の赤ちゃんを理解している場合、何が楽しいのか、そして苦しみがあり、獣医の注意を必要としているのかについての質問はありません。
こんにちは、私は助けを必要とする/私は彼がハイパーされていた日の最後のカップルの約2週間に座って犬をしてきた彼は常にカーペットと彼の顔をこすり、
私のパグの犬は擦っているカーペットの顔であり、揺れている彼はすべてで幸せに見えない私は彼が心配して何ができることができます
私は私のshihpooと同じ進行中の問題を抱えています。彼は、彼の短い鼻/鼻が上がっている小さな領域では、非常にかゆいです。彼の実際の鼻ではなく、彼の毛皮が上にあるところ。私は迷っている。獣医は、ただ肌を刺激し、髪を短く清潔に保つと語った。それは助けにはなりません。彼は私たちがもう頭を撫でさせることさえできません。悲しいことに、私は何が起こっているのか分かりません。
私は失われている、私の女の子のために何をすべきかわからない、シェパード彼女は常に彼女の鼻をこすり、私の上にカーペット、家具。これは単にかゆみではありません。私たちは、彼女が彼女のおもちゃをピックアップしようとするフリスビーを演奏から彼女の2つのtheethを失うことがこれが理由かもしれないことに気づきます。
私の犬は、ギャンブルと飲酒の夜から家に帰るたびに、カーペットで顔をのばしていますが、私は彼に尋ねると、彼がどのようにそれを否定しているかを見ています。それはアルコールであるか、または時間が保護されていない性別から摂取したかどうかです。私は私の若い大人の犬を出て、夜に自分の背中でパーティーをすることさえすればいいのですか？
先週ボストンの13歳の両親は、先週、重度のうず流行、目が急速に左右に揺れ、バランスの問題と頭が傾いたエピソードを経験しました。明らかに彼女を獣医に連れて行きました、ほとんどの症状は落ちましたが、彼女の頭にはやや傾きがあり、バランスはまだ少しです。彼女は毎日少しずつ改善するようです。しかし、今日、彼女は鼻の鼻をこすっていたので、鼻の毛穴が出血しました。助言がありますか？

That's CVD or Canine Vestibular Disease. Needs to see the vet; antibiotics, antihistamines, going to need a lot of support and tlc. The dog's organs of balance have been compromised, deep within the ears; the horizon has gone. Recovery is possible. It's not a 'stroke', which many owners think it is. No slippery floors, put down mats, assist with feeding and drinking, support whilst outside, remove any objects that the dog might crash into. The eye movements are called nystagmus.

I suggest you do not give your dog vindaloo anymore. He has a very sensitive mouth like all dogs, and the spice is too much for him as well as not being good for him. As the poem by Pam Ayres goes:
Love is like a curry and i'll explain it to you,
That love comes in three flavours, cold, hot, and vindaloo.
Of course it's like a curry,
It cannot be denied,
For both are full of spice and both have dishes on the side.
