My two-month-old domestic kitten suddenly got a small hard lump on its forehead, under the skin, that moves with the skin when pushed.
The lump may be a bruise from play, easing in days; if not, use pet anti-inflammatory meds. If it keeps growing, it may be a lipoma needing surgery.
After coming to the new home, the cat stays in a ‘hen-squat,’ drools, is lethargic, with a high fever around 41°C, and only eats canned food, not kibble
Drooling, lethargy, and persistent high fever with a hen-squat suggest feline infectious peritonitis, or distemper if vomiting/diarrhea follow. These do not self-heal; see a vet for targeted treatment.
The skin problem has been treated a long time but still isn’t better.
A skin problem that won't heal may be wrong medication or a stubborn, recurring condition. The photo shows bumps and redness, possibly mite infection (demodex, scabies). Scabies is hard to cure without correct treatment; get a skin scrape and follow vet baths/deworming.
My dog got sick — fine in the morning, ran off in the afternoon and won’t come back, now won’t eat or drink and is vomiting. What is it?
Not eating, drinking, and vomiting can be infection, parasites, gastroenteritis, blockage, or poisoning — possibly from something eaten outside. Could be distemper, parvovirus, or coronavirus. See a vet.

How do I assist a dog during delivery?
Dogs usually deliver alone, but malposition or weak labor needs a vet, who may give oxytocin or perform a C-section. Seek help if labor pains continue after water breaks with no puppy.
What happens if a dog’s intussusception is left untreated?
Untreated intussusception usually kills within a week. It blocks the gut, causing pain, vomiting, and difficult defecation, then ischemia, necrosis, perforation, and peritonitis. Surgery is needed.
Why does my puppy have spasms and trembling?
Spasms and trembling may come from calcium deficiency, distemper infection, or nerve disease. Add calcium-rich food or pet calcium tablets, and if infection is suspected, see a vet.
Just got the cat three days ago; it keeps coughing, won’t eat or poop, low energy, x-ray shows severe pneumonia and rapid breathing
Pneumonia has many causes — aspiration, bacterial, fungal, viral, parasitic — with cough, nasal discharge, and in severe cases breathing difficulty. Treatment uses antibiotics, cough relievers, and nebulization, often requiring hospitalization.
Why does a puppy get urethritis?
Causes include bacterial infection (most common), holding urine too long, kidney problems, and fungal or viral infection. Keep the environment clean and don't let the dog hold urine.
