My dog has been unwell for four or five days; thought it ate something bad, gave gut medicine, but worse – diarrhea, vomiting yellow fluid, very yellow urine, can’t stand, legs tremble, lies all day, won’t eat even when offered, only drinks a little.
Unwell for days needs a vet promptly; self-diagnosis and drugs worsen it. Not eating for days then unable to stand suggests hypoglycemia, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance; yellow urine and no eating may indicate liver or pancreas issues. Get fluids and diagnosis.
A bald patch appeared on the belly about a week ago; I thought it was summer shedding. Then small red spots showed up and the cat keeps licking and biting. After a work trip the rash spread and licking increased.
Red spots on a cat's belly usually point to a skin condition causing redness, itch, scaling, and hair loss. A skin scraping at the vet is needed to confirm the cause. Keep the environment clean and dry and feed a balanced diet.
Can this chinchilla food be fed to a hamster?
A small amount of chinchilla food is generally fine for a hamster, but the two species differ in habits and nutritional needs. Long-term feeding may cause health or developmental problems, so a dedicated hamster diet is recommended for balanced nutrition.
My cat keeps licking and scratching itself, with several bald patches
The photo shows crusting and breaks from over-itching skin disease. Causes include parasites (fleas, mites), fungal/bacterial dermatitis, allergies, anxiety, poor nutrition, or hormone imbalance. Get a skin exam to find the cause.
My cat had blood in the stool once with a dangling drop, now only clear fluid at the anus
Soft stool with blood may come from internal parasites, panleukopenia, indigestion, or damaged gut lining. If the cat is alert and eating, serious panleukopenia is unlikely; messy or changed food suggests indigestion - try short fasting plus probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. If not dewormed recently, get a fecal exam for coccidia, roundworms, or giardia.
My 3-month-old kitten has been home about 5 days; it will not eat or drink, occasionally has diarrhea and vomits, and now cannot stand. What illness is this?
A newly arrived kitten that will not eat or drink and has vomiting and diarrhea is likely suffering from a gastrointestinal disease or feline panleukopenia (distemper). Now being unable to stand suggests dehydration and electrolyte loss from prolonged vomiting and diarrhea, requiring immediate fluid therapy.
What to Do About Recurring Feline Rhinotracheitis (Cat Flu)?
Prevent relapse by boosting immunity with vet-guided supplements and a balanced diet. During outbreaks, use immunity supplements, nutritional paste, and antiviral eye/nose drops; severe cases need interferon and home disinfection.
My Dog Is Shedding Badly and Has a Bald Patch With Grain-Like Particles in the Fur
Heavy shedding has many causes: skin disease (bacteria, fungus, mites) with scales, bumps, redness, scabs; severe malnutrition; seasonal coat change; or hormone imbalance causing symmetric loss. Get a skin exam to avoid wrong medication.
Why is my cat’s chin thinning out?
A thinning, darkened chin is most likely feline acne (folliculitis) — small coal-like black dots from hormonal imbalance, oily food, poor cleaning, or plastic bowls. Clean the chin after meals and use a dedicated acne cleanser and anti-inflammatory product.
Can feline rhinotracheitis be cured?
Cat flu can be cured, but the cat carries herpesvirus for life and may relapse when immunity drops. Keep resistance high with balanced nutrition, exercise, and a clean environment to lower recurrence risk.
