My turtle’s eyes are swollen and white; I applied erythromycin ointment, it can open them, but half the inner eye is red membrane
For a turtle's white-eye disease, isolate and keep it dry (out of water except meds); medicated baths 30–40 min daily, plus chloramphenicol, ofloxacin, or erythromycin eye drops or ointment 3–5 times daily; if resistant, switch or add oral antibiotics.
Can a Hamster’s Cold Heal on Its Own?
Rarely — hamsters have weak immunity and a cold seldom clears without help; leaving it risks a life-threatening decline. Give banlangen (isatis) in cooled water 2–3 times daily, keep it warm and the cage disinfected, and see a vet if it doesn't improve in 5–7 days.
What lizards can be kept in water?
The marine iguana is the only lizard that lives in water; it swims naturally and calmly. Gentle and not aggressive, males can dive 10–15 minutes to about 10 m, while females and juveniles stay in the intertidal zone grazing on plants.
My dog’s left side keeps trembling with head-nodding for 5 days and it vomited yellow foam—what is wrong?
Trembling with head-nodding and vomiting may point to canine distemper in unvaccinated dogs, causing nerve and digestive symptoms; such seizures are often reversible but the virus can be deadly. Brain injury or poisoning are other possibilities, so a veterinary screening is strongly advised.
My dog hasn’t eaten much for 4–5 days, tongue is pale, sluggish, won’t move, urine is rusty/bloody, stool is green. What’s wrong?
Per description/image: dark soy-sauce urine, low appetite, pale tongue mucosa—possible causes: 1) onion/leek/scallion poisoning dissolving red cells → proteinaceous hematuria with Heinz bodies, severe anemia. 2) Blood protozoa (Babesia from ticks) → need imidocarb + transfusion/hematinic. 3) Leptospirosis → hematuria, subcutaneous bleeding, secondary pancreatitis/kidney damage. 4) Kidney damage bleeding (kidney failure, urinary/bladder infection). Any is urgent—needs vet diagnosis with professional equipment.
How can I relieve my cat’s depression?
Cat depression from environment change, less companionship, illness. Relief: 1) stable environment (avoid moves/furniture changes). 2) More interaction/companionship, play to burn energy. 3) Enough stimulation—toys, space to roam. 4) Regular routine—feeding, litter on schedule. 5) If severe, affecting quality of life, see a vet for professional help.
My 3.5-year-old Pug had a seizure lasting over 35 minutes, rolling on the ground, foaming, dilated pupils—occurred 4 times this year, each about an hour, with smelly anal glands. What’s wrong?
Symptoms (twitching, foaming, dilated pupils, 4 times this year) match epilepsy. Epilepsy is usually incurable, hard to find cause; causes include brain infection, injury, tumor, metabolic issues, poisoning, structural abnormality; drugs/chemicals/environment may trigger. Confirm via vet; lifelong medication (phenobarbital, potassium bromide, diazepam) and check-ups needed to control seizures. Stopping treatment brings relapse; keep up meds and seek emergency care.
I found a cat on the road five days ago and brought it home; it’s unvaccinated. Today while bathing it, it scratched me and drew a little blood. Can I skip the rabies vaccine?
If scratched by a stray cat with bleeding/exposed wound, get the first few shots and use the 10-day observation method—rabies is 100% fatal, so vaccinate to be safe; if the cat is fine after 10 days, skip later shots. First, rinse the wound with tap water 15–30 min, squeeze out blood, then disinfect with iodine.
How can I tell if a thrush (Hwamei) bird is too thin or too fat?
Judge by body shape and movement. A healthy bird has a flat back, slightly tucked waist, no obvious bulge or dip; a protruding or sunken belly means too fat or too thin. Healthy birds are energetic, agile, light; clumsy flight suggests overweight or health issues. Adult weight should be 20–25g; above that, watch diet and exercise.
My three-month-old Silver Gradient cat – yesterday afternoon while playing it jumped about 50 cm up and probably lost control; I don’t know if it fell or if I heard a thud. Right after coming back from its third vaccine shot in the evening, there was blood – not in stool, more like dripping, not sure if vomited. Spirits fine, eating/drinking/pooping fine. There’s something on its nose that wasn’t there before; not sure if from the nose.
If your cat jumped from a height yesterday and you heard the sound of a fall, and then later there was bleeding from an uncertain source, it is recommended to see a veterinarian promptly. The bleeding may be caused by an injury from the jump, or it may be related to nasal damage or internal injury. If you find an external bleeding point you can press it with gauze to stop the bleeding, but other internal or nasal bleeding generally requires a veterinarian to perform the proper examination and diagnosis, to determine the cat's condition and provide appropriate treatment. While waiting for the appointment, keep the cat quiet and comfortable and provide clean drinking water and food.
