My dog is weak in all limbs and listless after diarrhea—what should I do?
Diarrhea followed by limb weakness and low spirits may indicate mild dehydration; give rice porridge or warm sugar-salt water for fluids and electrolytes. Try pet anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal meds. If no improvement in half a day to a day, or diarrhea returns, see a vet to rule out parasites or distemper/parvo/coronavirus.

From the photo, the dog likely has bacterial folliculitis, or possibly insect-bite or parasite-induced dermatitis.

Labradors tend to gain weight easily; a thin body may mean insufficient nutrition or health issues.

Why is my sugar glider trembling?
Sugar gliders may tremble when scared or just waking up; keeping them warm is usually enough.

What documents are needed to register a dog (dog license)?
Registering a dog (getting a dog license) usually needs: owner ID (ID or passport copy); dog ID such as purchase contract, pedigree, or vet vaccination certificate; 4 photos (1 or 2 inch); and an application form with owner and dog info. These ensure accurate identity and ownership records and the dog's health and safety.
My 7-month-old male cat—not sure if in heat—constantly secretes coin-sized white sticky fluid from the urethra above the testicles, with a foul smell. Disease or heat? No spraying or mounting.
White sticky urethral discharge with foul smell may be from urinary disease or normal heat reaction; observe urination or get a urinary exam. Possible causes: urethritis, urethral stones, or other urinary diseases like FIC, bacterial cystitis, or tumors. Watch for difficult/frequent urination, urgency, dribbling, blood, or blockage; give more water/wet food; see a vet if abnormal.
