How to keep a cat quiet at night?
Play with it by day to tire it; give a warm, quiet, dark bed. Insecure cats may like the bed near you. A howling female may be in heat - comfort her, then spay after.
Cat’s bottom looks swollen, has poop on it, won’t let me touch/look/wipe.
The photo shows inflamed, hairless testicles, likely from heat-induced hormone surge and rubbing, or a wound from fighting causing pus infection. Disinfect with iodine, collar, and if it won't allow, see a vet; after healing, neuter.
Cat tearing, eyes look a bit red.
A little eye discharge is normal, usually diet-related - oily food causes heat and tear stains. If daily heavy discharge, wipe it and switch to a light, digestible diet with more water. Eye diseases like keratitis or conjunctivitis also cause it - treat the cause.
Since morning it won’t run or jump, cries when picked up, now lies down, breathing faster.
Rapid breathing may come from heart disease, respiratory disease, or lung problems - see a vet soon to avoid delay. It also happens after strenuous exercise, heat, or excitement. A dog with heart disease should avoid intense exercise.
One of my cat’s eyes has a white film, the other won’t open, often tears, and the fur at the corner is gone, leaving a black layer.
The white film at one eye corner is the nictitating membrane (third eyelid), normal unless prolapsed or inflamed. The other eye's tearing has causes: 1) high oil/salt/fat diet causing heat and discharge; 2) congenital blocked nasolacrimal duct - surgery possible but recurs; 3) viral disease; 4) foreign-body irritation.
My hamster had some diarrhea, after medicine a bit better but eyes won’t open, starting with the right eye then both; left slightly open today. Wiped with tissue, no dirt. Also a black patch on its bottom that won’t wipe off and smells – from diarrhea or urine in the nest?
Eyes not opening may be from recent illness causing heat and conjunctivitis - use an antibiotic eye drop like neomycin sulfate, light diet, more water. The black bottom may be diarrhea staining or wet-tail; fix the diarrhea first, then clean with bath sand.
At what age can a leopard gecko breed?
Males show heat at 7-8 months, females reach sexual maturity around 8 months and can breed then; best to breed males after 10 months and females after 1 year. The breeding season is February-October; pair them, mating again a day later to raise success.
Hamster not warming up, given electrolytes with no effect, then jaw twitching and vocalizing
Your hamster is likely in pseudo-hibernation from low temperature; warm it immediately. Rub it between your hands, then use heaters, a hairdryer, heating pad, heat lamp or warm bottle, wrap in a warm blanket and rub stiff limbs to raise temperature.
What happens when a dog is neutered?
A neutered dog may show poor appetite, pain cries and lethargy, recovering as the wound heals. Heat-related irritability gives way to a gentler, clingier temperament. Many become less active and fat, so reduce food to avoid high lipids, blood pressure and sugar.
How long can a pet ferret live?
Excluding early illness or accidents, a pet ferret lives about 8-12 years, up to 15 with good care. Proper nutrition and care extend life. Ferrets are heat-sensitive and can die from heat stress, so keep their environment below 30 C and never stuffy.
