One side of my turtle’s nose is blocked and sometimes bubbles—is it a cold?
A turtle with a cold shows blocked nose, runny nose, reduced appetite, less activity, limb weakness and refusal to eat. Your turtle's blocked nose and bubbles suggest a cold. Raise water temperature and give more sunlight; mild cases recover as immunity improves. If no relief, use cold medicine (e.g., cold-relief granules or banlangen) in bath water, keeping temperature suitable.
No reaction while asleep, but breathing is heavy and nose seems blocked when awake; meow is hoarse; rolls over for cuddles
Heavy breathing in cats has many causes: upper respiratory, lung, or chest disease, or just normal upon waking. Seek care if it persists with other signs.
Drooling a bit, nose seems blocked, congested, won’t drink milk.
A stuffy nose with drooling in a kitten is a respiratory infection, possibly with calicivirus or herpes; PCR can diagnose. If it won't nurse, seek emergency care and give meds and syringe feeding with warmth.
Symptoms of a Blocked Tear Duct in Dogs
A blocked nasolacrimal (tear) duct shows as constant tearing and a sticky, pus-like discharge at the inner corner of the eye, with the fur below stained red-brown and a little hair loss — but no pain, no vision loss, and no light sensitivity. Many eye problems can cause it (conjunctivitis, keratitis, trauma), and flushing the duct under anesthesia after clearing the infection shortens recovery.
What to Do When Your Cat’s Nose Is Stuffy
A cat's stuffy nose can have many causes, such as a cold causing nasal congestion, or more seriously feline rhinotracheitis. A blocked nose is very uncomfortable, but without finding the cause promptly, treatment can't begin, so today we detail some situations of cat nasal blockage.
Which Diseases Can Cause a Dry Dog Nose?
A dry nose paired with coughing, vomiting, or diarrhea may signal illness. Possible disease causes include sunburn, skin disease, severe dehydration, and allergies that block the nasolacrimal duct. Most dryness, though, simply comes from a lack of water—so keep your dog hydrated.
Puppy often has tear stains and the fur on both sides of the nose is gone; what medicine to use?
Tear staining may be from blocked tear ducts, inverted eyelashes, or salty food. Switch to a low-salt duck-and-pear formula and have the vet check the ducts.
Kitten under 2 months, just home today, lots of eye discharge, very clingy, wet nose, no runny nose.
Much discharge and half-closed eyes with a wet nose suggest blocked nasolacrimal duct, rhinotracheitis, eye worms, or eye inflammation. Short-nosed cats get blockages needing surgery; rhinotracheitis has more signs; worms need deworming; inflammation uses eye drops.
At first the eye was swollen and could not open; later the nose above the affected eye swelled and started affecting the hamster’s breathing
Per your description, the hamster may have an untreated upper respiratory infection leading to secondary nasal infection (sinusitis or nasal abscess), causing swelling and breathing difficulty, with sneezing, runny nose, congestion and low spirits. Nasal tumor or foreign body is also possible. See a vet promptly to avoid airway blockage; if unavailable, conservative care with neomycin eye drops in nose/eyes, cold medicine and anti-inflammatories, plus nutrition.
Why is the fur between my dog’s eyes and nose wet and losing hair?
Wet, thinning fur around a dog's eyes and nose usually means overactive tear glands or blocked ducts. Switch to a bland diet and avoid table scraps; see a vet for duct flushing if it persists.
