Brought a one-month-old kitten home, this behind the ear, applied iodine
The iodine hides the view, but if there is dandruff, redness, or hair loss, suspect bacterial or fungal infection. Use a Wood's lamp for green fluorescence (fungus), then antifungal meds. If unsure, disinfect and apply pet antibacterial ointment; see a vet if worse.
Vomited twice
There are many causes of white-foam vomit; from this alone the cause can't be pinned down. Watch the dog's spirits — if good with no other signs, it may be extreme hunger, or eating too much or too fast, but a foreign object isn't ruled out. Feed if hungry to 70–80% full; give probiotics if indigestion. If vomiting persists or other signs appear, see a vet.
Is my dog’s condition serious, and what medicine should it take?
From results, mild kidney damage and high total bile acids, possibly acid-reflux gastritis. Fast 8h to reduce gut irritation and prevent vomiting. If no more vomiting, try pet anti-vomiting meds (Zhitu Ning, metoclopramide, cimetidine) with antibiotics (amoxicillin, cephalexin). But oral meds may irritate gut and re-trigger vomiting—better to IV at clinic with anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory shots.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
My just-weaned puppy came home and has been passing jelly-like stool; I only gave it lactose-free milk, but its spirits are good and appetite is fine
Jelly-like mucus stool in a just-weaned pup is likely indigestion from the new environment and diet change. Feed plain congee or warm-water-softened puppy kibble, keep the diet light, and give pet probiotics to restore gut function. Keep observing; if it worsens, get a fecal exam for parasites or infection.
What causes premature birth in German Shepherds?
Causes: poor prenatal nutrition, strenuous exercise before birth, hormone imbalance, or bacterial/viral infection. Balance diet, give moderate exercise, and see a vet for abnormalities.
In the past week my rabbit has lost a lot of fur on its neck, exposing skin that looks a bit grainy. Is it a skin disease, and what medicine should I use?
Neck hair loss is usually bacterial or fungal from low skin resistance; a vet exam confirms the cause. If unavailable, shave and use a pet broad-spectrum antifungal/antibacterial spray and keep a cone; see a vet if no relief.
What should I use to clean a dog’s ears?
A dog's ear canal is closed; without regular cleaning, wax builds up and breeds germs (e.g., ear mites). For lightly dirty ears, use long medical swabs and wet wipes. For dirty ears, use a pet-specific ear cleaner.
What happens if a dog’s respiratory infection becomes severe?
A severe respiratory infection can cause a range of complications: inflammation of the trachea, bronchi, or lungs leading to difficult breathing, constant coughing, rapid breathing, and reduced stamina. It may also cause fever with lethargy, poor appetite, and low energy, and prolonged high fever can damage the nervous system and leave sequelae. Repeated or long-untreated infections may become chronic, such as chronic bronchitis or pneumonia, affecting quality of life and lifespan.
My cat is weak, has no appetite, pus from the ears, and is vomiting blood.
Based on your description—lethargy, no appetite, pus from ears, vomiting blood—the condition is serious; see a vet promptly. Ear pus suggests infection (ear mites, otitis); vomiting blood can come from stomatitis, poisoning, gastroenteritis, distemper, pancreatitis, etc. Find the cause, then treat.
