What to Do When a Turtle Won’t Eat
A turtle that refuses food is usually reacting to a poor habitat, bland diet, or wrong water temperature rather than true hunger. Restore its appetite by mimicking a natural setup, offering scented meaty foods, and keeping water at 22–25°C, while ruling out illness and avoiding salty or parasite-risky feeds.
Cat was home alone for a day; came back to find a wound on the back of the neck – a small hard lump, surface already dry.
If you find a lump or scab on your cat's neck, take it to a regular pet hospital promptly to determine the specific cause. If the scab is from the cat accidentally scratching its neck, treating the wound topically is enough - apply an antibacterial spray and fit an Elizabethan collar.
The eyeball looks a bit white.
A whitish dog eyeball is a symptom of keratitis, which ranges from traumatic, superficial, chronic superficial, interstitial, to ulcerative, causing tearing, corneal cloudiness, ulcers, even perforation. This case is mild superficial keratitis; use neomycin sulfate eye drops, artificial tears, and Befun to recover.
Can a Doberman puppy be fed only dog food?
Whether a Doberman puppy can be fed only dog food depends on its age. Under 45-60 days, do not feed kibble; without mother's milk, prepare pet goat milk formula and feed every 2-3 hours. Over 45 days, puppy food alone is fine, preferably softened.
1.5-month-old puppy breathes with a pulsing neck, vomits after eating, and now has trouble walking and keeps falling – what illness is this?
A pulsing neck when a dog breathes usually means a gagging sound during breathing, or a slight bulge of the esophagus or trachea while breathing. Based on your description - vomiting every time it eats and an unsteady gait - the first concern is a foreign object blocking the esophagus, or pneumonia from eating too fast and inhaling food into the airways. Esophageal dilation or an esophageal diverticulum cannot be ruled out either.
What is dog osteosarcoma like?
Osteosarcoma is bone cancer; about 80% of bone cancers are this highly fatal, invasive type that spreads easily. Signs include lameness, local swelling, pain, fracture, low appetite, nosebleed and breathing difficulty, diagnosed by X-ray, CT and cytology, treated by limb amputation plus chemo and radiation.
What happens if a dog eats loquat?
Loquat may cause allergy, breathing difficulty, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea, and frequent eating can cause renal failure. The fruit, pit and skin contain alkaloids causing allergy, and the pit contains cyanide poisoning the kidneys. Watch after eating and see a vet if abnormal.
What happens if a dog eats a toad?
Eating a toad may cause drooling, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and lethargy from toxic glands; highly toxic toads can cause arrhythmia, breathing difficulty and shock. Not all toads are toxic, so give water and watch; seek care if abnormal.
How often should an adult leopard gecko be fed?
Feed an adult leopard gecko 3-4 times weekly, every 1-2 days, with crickets or mealworms no wider than its head and neck to avoid difficulty. Keep food clean, removing dirt and sharp parts; their weak gut needs regular, measured feeding.
What happens with dog inbreeding?
Inbreeding risks stillbirth, difficult labor, miscarriage and deformity; pups may carry hereditary disease and live short, and the mother is harmed. Avoid it; if it happens before spaying, see a vet about termination, and do a check at 40-50 days if formed.
