My cat lost two patches of fur on its neck – fighting or skin disease
From the photo the cat has hair loss with black dots, likely from overactive skin oil, ruling out ringworm. Untreated it may become folliculitis. Have a vet check for endocrine issues, use an anti-oil shampoo and regular baths, and reduce greasy food.
My 40-something-day puppy has coughed for two days, like something is stuck – what’s wrong
A cough like choking may be upper respiratory infection, possibly progressing to lung infection if it brings up phlegm. In cold weather it may be a chill, kennel cough, or flu. Try pet anti-inflammatories (amox-clav, doxycycline) with cough syrups, keep warm; if no improvement in 2-3 days, see a vet; with lung infection add nebulization; viral needs interferon/parvo monoclonal.
My dog suddenly stopped coming home, lay outside, hasn’t eaten for 3 days, now has bloody stool and is weak and cold
Blood in stool and anorexia can be poisoning, parasites, or viral disease, but by day 3 it's past the time for induced vomiting, so don't induce. Best to go to a vet; if not, warm it, give glucose-saline, pet antibiotics (amox-clav, bismuth) and probiotics. Tomato-soup-like stool suggests viral infection needing interferon and parvo monoclonal; puppy viral mortality is high, so hospitalization is better.
My dog keeps trembling, fur a bit matted, won’t eat kibble but eats treats
Trembling can be from cold (move to warmth), calcium deficiency (weak legs, cramps - get checked and supplement), or pain from illness (see a vet if other signs).
My hamster has had fur loss around its eyes for a week and scratches with its paws
Eye-area hair loss with itching is likely irritant or bacterial infection. Replace dusty bedding and clean the eyes; try small-pet antibiotic eye drops for bacteria. If no improvement, see a vet.
My unvaccinated cat was spayed on Jan 16 and on the 23rd started vomiting yellow fluid 3-4 times a day
Yellow vomit has many causes: gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, parasites, hairballs, wrong food, viruses. Because it's severe and unvaccinated, get a viral screen promptly; for ordinary gastroenteritis use pet anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, and probiotics.
How to tell if a Corgi is purebred
Purebred Corgis have large ears that stand by 3-4 months, a broad flat head, wide muzzle, dark almond eyes, strong short legs, thick round tail, and a high tail set; check the parents' pedigree certificates.
My 8-month-old ferret ate 3-4 levofloxacin tablets two days ago and is now weak and lethargic
Levofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic, has sedative effects and can irritate the gut and central nervous system. With weakness and lethargy already showing, take the ferret to a vet promptly; do not medicate blindly.
How is Snow Mountain Gold Choice dog food

Why does my hamster pluck its fur frequently
Frequent fur plucking may be a nutrient deficiency (supplement nutrition), stress (calm it, quiet dry cage), or parasites (itching, deworm). Address the specific cause.
