After spaying, the recovery suit and ointment may have trapped moisture on the lower belly; it’s now red and weeping, and stays wet even after drying, because the fatty skin folds there can’t air out
Red, weeping skin near a spay incision is common in obese cats but needs active care: disinfect with iodine, apply pet anti-inflammatory ointment plus oral meds, keep dry, and use an E-collar. It should heal in 5-7 days; see a vet if not.
At noon today I used abamectin for my cat’s topical deworming, applying two drops on the back of the neck. The cat then lay down; I wiped it with a wet tissue and it regained some energy, but slept most of the afternoon and has barely eaten since.
Abamectin is quite irritating and can cause reactions in cats. Give water to boost metabolism and watch 1-2 days. If vomiting, drooling, or seizures appear, it may be overdose or ingestion poisoning needing vet care. Use an E-collar and discard packaging.
Why is the area around my cat’s eyes red?
Redness around the eyes may come from irritants, inflammation, or infection. See a vet to confirm the cause. If delayed, rinse with saline and use chloramphenicol eye drops, and put on an E-collar to stop scratching. See a vet if no relief.
How can I tell if my dog has eyeworms (Thelazia)?
Infected dogs often scratch the eye, blink, tear up, show red conjunctiva, more discharge, and corneal ulcers. If the worm is on the eye surface, you may see a thin thread-like worm moving. Put on an E-collar to prevent corneal damage, then see a vet. Deworm regularly and keep things clean.
What ointment should I use for my dog’s ulcerated anus?
An ulcerated anus can have many causes; anal gland inflammation is common. For mild cases, use an anti-inflammatory ointment like erythromycin after cleaning the gland and sore with saline. Severe cases need oral antibiotics to prevent infection. Keep an E-collar on during treatment to stop licking.
My kitten has large-scale hair loss; a small clinic said ringworm and gave cream, but now it won’t eat, lies in the bathroom, moves slowly, is listless with dull eyes—is it from licking the medicine?
Ringworm treatment uses antifungals (terbinafine, compound ketoconazole, itraconazole) that irritate gut and liver/kidneys; licking causes lethargy, vomiting, appetite loss. See a vet to reduce organ damage; use an E-collar during treatment.
My cat lost a testicle in a fight; something like 10+ cm of intestine is protruding from the scrotum, but it still eats and poops.
A cat that lost a testicle in a fight needs prompt wound care to avoid infection. The intestine-like protrusion is likely the spermatic cord. Limit activity, use an E-collar if licking. If a vet isn't convenient, rinse with saline and iodine daily, keep dry.
The area around its private parts is raw, the surrounding fur is all gone, and there’s a lump inside; the body is losing fur in patches.
From the photo, the raw, bald skin around the genitals is mainly from bacterial infection—clean and treat the area. Also watch for pyometra (uterine infection). See a vet if possible; if not, clean with saline, give oral and topical anti-inflammatories, and use an E-collar, then watch for improvement.
Looked fine in the morning, but by afternoon a patch was bald; the kitten is in heat, no wound, just slight redness from scratching. The vet said maybe allergy. What’s going on and how do I handle it?
Hair loss and itching on the neck can come from parasite bites, allergy, or fungal/bacterial skin disease; photos alone can't confirm the cause. Get a skin scraping at a vet to find the source, then treat. Use an E-collar if it scratches a lot, and keep the environment clean and deworm regularly.
Why does my dog have red bumps on its body?
Red bumps can come from allergies, eczema, parasites, bacteria, or fungus. Put on an E-collar to stop licking/scratching and see a vet to find the cause. For parasites, deworm and use an anti-inflammatory spray.
