A reader asks:

I have a question about my dog, I have notice my dog tear drop are red and is turn his coat red now, his paws are turn slightly red, and his private area is to. I’m wonder if my dog was bitten by something. I have a min or toy poodles and he is 1 1/2

It sounds like your little guy needs to take a trip to the vet. Tear stains are a common problem in poodles, but they are usually brownish. The reddish color could be a sign that your dog has an underlying infection of some kind. A type of yeast infection can make the tear stains red, but the fact that he is experiencing problems on both ends makes me wonder if there could be something else going on. Let me know how you make out!
