Siberian
The Siberian Forest Cat, shortened to Siberian Cat, has the earliest written records from the 11th century: it was a very common cat in Russian markets and Siberian villages. Living in a harsh country, it is covered in long fur with a thick ruff around the neck. Its outer guard hairs are hard, smooth, and oily, and its dense undercoat resists the Siberian cold.
Somali
The Somali cat looks much like the Abyssinian—slender, slightly rounded, with big V-shaped ears and almond eyes—but with a semi-long, soft, dense coat. Developed in the US and Canada from a spontaneous long-haired mutation of the Abyssinian, the Somali is intelligent, gentle, playful, and water-loving, though its abundant coat needs regular grooming.
Birman
The Birman, also called the sacred cat of Burma, is a medium-sized cat with the Latin name Birman. Although now distributed worldwide, legend says they once lived only in Myanmar and were kept by temple monks; because they guarded the hall, they are considered temple guardian cats.
My cat is about four months old; after recovering from panleukopenia its head trembles, hind legs are weak, and it walks with difficulty
After feline panleukopenia, head tremor, hind-leg weakness, and walking difficulty may be side effects of too many antibiotics during treatment, damaging the nerves or causing osteopathy—aftermath needing time and rehab. It can also be severe malnutrition or weakness (anemic, underfed), so give high-quality food and vet-advised blood and calcium supplements; or B-vitamin deficiency causing neuritis, needing vitamins. If it persists or worsens, see a vet.
What is this?
Belly hair loss with red rash likely signals skin disease from bacteria, fungus, mites, or allergy. A skin scraping identifies the type; use a collar and iodine while waiting.
Is this ringworm?
It may be ringworm, showing local hair loss with round patches and grayish scales, but the eye can misjudge. Use a Wood's lamp at home for a first check; a vet skin scrape confirms. Treat with a collar, clipping, and antifungal spray.
My dog has patchy hair loss with black bumps where fur fell out
Smooth patchy hair loss suggests follicle damage from skin disease, hormone imbalance, or poor nutrition; black bumps may be folliculitis from oily skin. Get a skin and hormone check; meanwhile add fur-growth nutrients and use a collar if itchy.
Flaky skin on the lower belly, not hard
The affected area could be ringworm, a bacterial infection or a parasitic infection, but skin diseases cannot be diagnosed by eye alone. A Wood's lamp exam can give a preliminary diagnosis for ringworm caused by Microsporum canis.
Sores around the mouth, refusing food, and contagious: what could it be?
Crusting and ulcers around a guinea pig's mouth with loss of appetite may be infectious stomatitis. It starts with redness in the mouth and drooling, and can be fatal if untreated. Rinse with saline or iodine glycerin and apply antibiotics.
Scorpion
Scorpions have a wide range of medicinal uses, though their tails are venomous. With many species distributed across more than ten provinces in China, the most commonly used medicinal species is the East Asian scorpion (Chinese scorpion), which is highly effective in treating rheumatic conditions.
