My dog vomited at night; first undigested kibble, then about five times with nothing left, still retching
Vomiting undigested food first then nothing suggests indigestion causing gastroenteritis or another disease. Try pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and anti-vomit meds and watch. If no improvement, see a vet. Ongoing vomiting can cause dehydration and even threaten life.
My kitten’s lower eyelid has hair loss, redness, and swelling
Lower-eyelid hair loss and redness are likely ringworm, but eye-disease inflammation is also possible. If possible, use a Wood's lamp in dim light; green fluorescence suggests ringworm, treat near the eye corner with topical antifungal. If no green reaction and the cat has tearing, conjunctivitis, or heavy stains, it is eyelid inflammation; use anti-inflammatory drops and wipe discharge often.
Can a puppy whose intestines were pushed out by a car be treated?
A car accident pushing the intestines out can still be treated, but it is hard and lengthy and needs immediate hospital exam and surgery. Exposed intestines mean serious internal injury; even after surgery, watch for other damage and post-op infection. If the dog passes the one-week critical period, the chance of recovery is good. Follow the vet's wound care until discharge.
What should I pay attention to when buying a Bichon Frise?
Buying a Bichon needs care. Choose a reputable source and check health and pedigree certificates. Observe the dog's health — skin, coat, eyes, ears, nose, teeth; a healthy one is lively with glossy coat, no dander or odor. Check for genetic disease risk, and interact to confirm temperament fits you.
My dog walks unsteadily and is listless; had two days of IV fluids, sometimes energetic sometimes not
Whole-body weakness and low spirits have many causes and need a vet's detailed exam to find the cause. IV nutrition (saline, glucose) only maintains strength and treats the symptom, not the root. Share the dog's records and test reports so the vet can analyze the cause.
Kitten under a week home, won’t eat, very active; came back to no food/drink and white foam vomit; fed a cat treat, vomited again
White foam vomiting has many causes; the photo shows pink-tinged foam, suggesting stomach injury or bleeding, perhaps from poor eating and indigestion or gastroenteritis. If newly home under a week and unvaccinated, test for feline panleukopenia to avoid missing a virus. For 1-2 vomits with fair spirits, give probiotics and anti-vomit/anti-inflammatory meds, fast briefly, and see a vet if no improvement.
Something bit my dog’s belly; there are bumps near the urethra
Bumps on the belly and near the urethra are likely bacterial folliculitis and eczema, worsened by urine soaking near the urethra and damp floors. Insect or parasite bites can also cause itching and allergy. At home, use broad-spectrum pet anti-inflammatories, regular external deworming, and a skin spray; keep the area dry and watch 4-5 days, then treat 2-3 weeks if improving.
What causes corneal edema in dogs?
Corneal edema has many causes. Foreign irritation or injury (sharp objects, dust, bath water, blows) can cause conjunctivitis or uveitis and then edema. Eye infections from bacteria, viruses, or pathogens cause tearing and conjunctivitis with edema. Diagnosis depends on the specific case.
My cat was fine last night, but this morning one hind leg is weak and can’t stand, dragging when walking; I’m away studying and don’t know what happened
Weakness and dragging of a cat's hind legs can have many causes, including injury, mineral deficiency, nerve damage, joint disease, bone fracture, or congenital immune deficiency. The owner should recall what happened and check for wounds; if there is no trauma and the leg is not painful, fracture is less likely. Gentle massage and a vet visit are advised.
Please help my kitten — suddenly can’t poop, hiding under the bed, weak, and crying like a chicken every few minutes (no vomiting, no diarrhea)
Based on your description, it is difficult to determine exactly what illness your cat has, so a full veterinary examination should be done as soon as possible. A cat's distress crying is usually a sign of severe pain, so do not keep observing at home as that may delay treatment. If constipation is the cause, offer warm water and fiber-rich food, but the problem could be more serious than simple constipation.
