My cat woke with swollen red eyes and a foreign-body feeling; removing it helped but it is still red; what should I do?
Red swollen eyes may be conjunctivitis from a foreign body in dusty corners. Clean with saline or use neomycin drops 5 to 8 times daily, wipe discharge, give oral amoxicillin, and use an Elizabethan collar; if no relief in 3 to 5 days, see a vet.
How long does a dog’s pyoderma take to heal?
Pyoderma cannot heal on its own; with active treatment it usually clears in 15 to 30 days. It is mostly bacterial, treated with amoxicillin-clavulanate plus daily saline cleaning and disinfectant.
What happens if a cat catches a chill?
A chill can cause a respiratory infection with sneezing, runny nose, and coughing. Chilling the abdomen irritates the gut, causing diarrhea, vomiting, pain, and appetite loss. Give pet cold medicine, keep the cat warm, and feed protein-rich food; for gut symptoms give anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic meds and seek IV therapy if no relief.
How long to treat a turtle’s pneumonia?
Turtle pneumonia is curable if treated; untreated, the turtle may die in about half a month. It is contagious, so isolate and treat with gentamicin, saline and amoxicillin, keeping it dry.
My dog suddenly vomited yesterday, with drooling, no appetite and low energy.
Vomiting with low energy in dogs has many causes, including gastritis, pancreatitis, intestinal parasites or viral infection. Take the dog to a vet for diagnosis, and withhold food and water briefly if needed.
What to Do If Your Dog Catches a Seasonal Cold?
Mild dog colds need warmth, soft nutritious food, and a clean ventilated home; see a vet if it worsens or resembles distemper. Vaccinate, keep clean, and avoid crowds to prevent colds.
My dog has pus-like nasal discharge and asthma-like breathing; seems contagious. What disease is this?
Purulent nasal discharge suggests bacterial or viral upper respiratory infection such as bacterial pneumonia, parainfluenza, or distemper, where pneumonia causes the asthma-like breathing and needs urgent vet care. Bacterial cases may respond to oral antibiotics if mild.
I accidentally left it in a very cold room overnight and found it like this in the morning; it won’t let me wipe it.
A runny nose in a cat is often a cold from cold exposure, manageable with oral anti-inflammatory medication and warmth if the cat is otherwise normal. If vomiting, diarrhea, or fever appear, suspect viral infection and see a vet.
My 3-year-old red-eared slider has been home for two weeks, kept in shallow water with home heating at about 23 degrees C and no heater. Now it sneezes, has a runny nose, breathes with its mouth open frequently, has white discharge at the mouth corners, and is lethargic.
These signs suggest turtle pneumonia. Isolate the turtle, keep the temperature steady around 28 degrees C, and see a vet; azithromycin or amoxicillin baths may be used at home.
Can a Dog Get Sick from Being Rained On?
A dog that gets soaked in the rain can fall ill. Wet fur that is not dried promptly leaves the dog prone to colds, fever, and skin infections, and short-haired and young dogs are especially vulnerable. After rain, towel-dry the body, especially the belly and joints, then use a low-heat dryer; keep the dog's environment dry and warm and watch for sneezing, coughing, or fever.
