My hamster has a large yellow bump on its belly.
Based on the photo, this yellow lump is likely a pocket of fat exposed after the skin was damaged, with subcutaneous fat protruding. If not treated promptly, internal organs could be exposed, so make a collar to stop licking and see a vet for cleaning and sutures.
My cat has had a continuous fever for three days, with two shots and one dose of fever medicine, but it isn’t better. No diarrhea or vomiting, eating normally. It seemed better this morning but was feverish again this afternoon. What should I do, is it a fever or something else?
Recurring fever usually means internal inflammation, possibly from blood parasites, FIV, or dry FIP. A full vet workup including bloodwork, biochemistry, virus screening, and imaging is needed to find the cause, and immune deficiency can also be a factor.
Some of my rabbit’s droppings are very round, some are stuck together, they’re black, some are a bit long, and some look like they’re connected by fur
Normal rabbit droppings are usually cylindrical or slightly flattened ovals, fairly firm, uniform in size, smooth on the surface, and dark brown or black in color. Because rabbits are herbivores, the fur-like bits in the middle are most likely bits of grass stem. Also, rabbits frequently groom themselves, so some hair ends up in the stool — this is all normal. But from the photo, your rabbit's pellets are rather small, which may point to slightly insufficient water intake; make sure it always has plenty of water, and occasionally offer vegetables like carrot or celery to add moisture.
This afternoon around 5–6, my cat’s two hind legs were bitten by a dog and it can only drag them while walking.
A cat that can't use its hind legs after a dog bite may have injured bones, joints, or the spine; a lack of pain response suggests possible nerve damage. Prompt X-ray or ultrasound at a vet clinic is advised. Bone/joint injuries may be surgically treatable, while nerve damage is harder to cure and needs pain/anti-inflammatory and nerve-support medication.
My cat has red and black scabs at the hair roots that can be picked off; near the mouth it was already bald when found, and the front area lost a big patch when I picked at it. What medicine should I use, and does the cat need a bath?
Hello, the bald patch on your cat's chin is likely feline acne (black chin), and a mixed fungal infection cannot be ruled out. Clean the chin with saline or chlorhexidine solution, then apply a lysozyme spray or a product made specifically for pet black chin. Because the skin infection looks fairly serious, also apply an antibiotic ointment and monitor for about a week.
Adult parrot has one swollen, teary eye, with no obvious drop in appetite
The blurry photo makes it hard to assess the eye inflammation, but based on your description a cockatiel's eye inflammation is likely from a bacterial or viral infection. Clean the eye with a pet eye-care solution twice daily and apply anti-inflammatory drops and ointment. Seek a vet if other symptoms appear.
Cat with swollen, discharging eyes and raw, balding skin around eyes and nose
The cat's eye inflammation may be bacterial or viral (mycoplasma, calicivirus). Use prescribed drops and a collar; identify the virus for targeted care.
What effect does rice have on dogs?
Too much rice can upset a dog's digestion and raise diabetes and dental risks. It lacks balanced nutrition, so don't feed it alone.
