A Teddy has blackened, weeping, flaky skin — is it contagious and how should it be treated? Will it spread to my other two dogs?
Widespread black, thickened, rough, flaky skin with hair loss suggests black acanthosis, a syndrome from many causes such as demodex, seborrhea, endocrine disorder, or vitamin A deficiency. Contagion cannot be ruled out, so strictly isolate and disinfect the dog. A stray with these signs often has a serious condition needing veterinary diagnosis.
My cat has a red patch on its tongue — maybe scratched — but otherwise seems fine
A red patch on a cat's tongue can be an ulcer from viral or bacterial stomatitis, from low water and too much meat causing heat, or from vitamin deficiency. It may also be a cut from a hard object or self-biting. If a scratch is suspected, keep the mouth clean with a pet oral spray or anti-inflammatory to prevent infection.
What medicine should you buy for a cat with ringworm?
Cat ringworm is a fungal skin disease, so use antifungal medicine containing ketoconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine hydrochloride, such as pet-specific ointments and sprays.

Before applying, shave and clean the area, disinfect with iodine, then apply the antifungal, and add vitamin B and environmental disinfection.
What happens if a Golden Retriever drinks too little water?
Too little water makes a Golden Retriever's stool hard and dry, causing constipation, abdominal pain, and reduced defecation. It also concentrates urine and raises the risk of urinary disease such as urethritis, bladder stones, and nephritis, and in heat can lead to heatstroke and dehydration, so ensure ample water.
What happens if a cat eats raw fish?
Feeding cats raw fish poses several risks: parasites such as hookworms and roundworms can infest the intestines, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and anemia; mishandled fish may carry bacteria and viruses that disrupt gut flora; and eating raw fish often can make cats picky eaters. Cooked fish or formulated cat food is safer.
What happens as a cat gets old?
