My cat sneezes repeatedly, its head and ears feel hotter than usual, but its spirits and appetite are normal. Is it a common cold, and can it heal on its own?
Frequent sneezing, fever, and normal spirits in a cat are generally symptoms of a respiratory infection. Normally, a common cat cold does not cause fever, and if immunity is low it may not heal by itself. If a cold causes a fever, it may be the body's immune response to fever-causing pathogens or viruses, or a secondary infection from delayed treatment. The owner should measure the cat's temperature; if it rises to 39.5 C, take the cat to the vet promptly to check for respiratory disease or contagious infections such as feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, and provide treatment for the confirmed cause along with fever reduction.
How fast can a Dogo Argentino climb mountains?
The Dogo Argentino is a very large, athletic breed with high endurance and speed, well suited to physical activities like mountain climbing, running, and hunting. Climbing speed varies by size and condition; a healthy adult generally climbs at 5–8 km/h and can sustain it for hours. Note their build makes them less suited to endurance sports, so train stamina and acclimation first.
My dog’s hind legs suddenly went weak; it’s hard for it to stand up or sit down, though sometimes it can move normally, and its energy isn’t as good as before
There are many reasons a dog's hind legs suddenly go weak, roughly: 1. Trauma causing sudden inability to stand or walk. 2. Prolonged exercise beyond the body's load, damaging the legs. 3. Insufficient calcium intake causing deficiency and weak hind legs. 4. Congenital or acquired conditions such as intervertebral disc disease or hip dysplasia (CHD), common bone diseases in large breeds. 5. Nerve damage, bone injury, arthritis, muscle atrophy, ligament damage, etc.
How can I tell if my hamster is pregnant?
Whether a hamster is pregnant cannot be judged from a photo alone; there are daily behavioral changes to watch for: 1. Pear-shaped body (small head, big rear). 2. Firm belly (non-pregnant feels soft). 3. Prominent nipples in a double row. 4. Increased food and water. 5. Irritable temper and nest-building before birth.
Can You Deworm a Dog Infected with Distemper?
No — don't deworm a dog with distemper. The virus already weakens its immunity, and deworming can trigger vomiting, diarrhea, or worse. Wait until it has fully recovered and rested at least two weeks, then deworm; afterward avoid baths and vaccines too.
From the evening of 8/4 she vomited for the first time—whole kibble came out—then we fasted her; on 8/5 she drank a little water and ate little, I gave her a cat treat strip, then early 8/6 she vomited again and soon had diarrhea. She is in a new environment, unvaccinated and undewormed—what is wrong?
Frequent vomiting and diarrhea are usually gastrointestinal issues. Causes: 1) diet change or unsuitable food plus new-environment stress; 2) infection/parasites since unvaccinated/un-dewormed (roundworms, tapeworms); 3) infectious disease (panleukopenia, coronavirus). If alert, fast 12-24h and give probiotics/anti-diarrhea; if no relief, see a vet urgently given no vaccines/deworming.
My dog suddenly stopped eating, is listless, and the whites of its eyes are a bit red. There is no veterinary hospital nearby—is there any medication I can give?
Not eating, low spirits and red eyes may indicate fever; take its temperature (adult rectal 37.5-39.2°C, puppy 38.5-39.5°C). If over 39.5°C it is a fever—cool with diluted alcohol on paw pads, belly and ears. If unvaccinated it may be distemper; test with a strip and use monoclonal antibody, interferon and serum plus amoxicillin-clavulanate and nerve-support vitamins.
What colors does the Cane Corso come in?

My nearly three-month-old kitten has ear mites that blocked its ears; I cleaned but could not reach inside, bought ear cleaner and ear-mite medicine, but the kitten cannot shake the debris out, so I cleaned manually — what should I do?
Suspected ear mites with no debris shaken out is normal because a cat's ear canal is L-shaped and holds secretion at the bend; simple cleaning cannot finish it. After the cleaner and medicine arrive, fill the canal, massage the base 5 to 10 seconds so the cat shakes some out, wipe the outer ear, then apply a drop or two of mite medicine for 2 to 4 weeks. Never use cotton swabs inside; use an Elizabethan collar and a monthly selamectin preventive.
I have kept an old pignose turtle for over ten years; suddenly it has many bumps on its back and will not move or eat — how can I help it?
Bumps on a pignose turtle's back are likely shell rot or skin rot. Gently brush the shell with a soft toothbrush, disinfect wounds with peroxide or iodine, and apply erythromycin ointment. Keep the water at a constant 28 to 30 C and raise hardness to about 7.5 to 8 with fine substrate and beneficial bacteria; avoid leaving shrimp or meat in the water and feed veggies, fruit, and pellets.
