Concussion and Cerebral Contusion in Dogs and Cats: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Concussion and cerebral contusion are brain injuries from blows, falls, or car accidents that impair brain function, causing collapse, seizures, and sometimes blindness. Emergency care protects the brain, lowers pressure, and supports recovery, with surgery when bleeding compresses tissue.
Glomerulonephritis in Dogs and Cats
Glomerulonephritis is immune-mediated inflammation of the kidney's filtering units, often following infection or toxicity, causing fever, vomiting, kidney pain, and later blood in the urine or edema. Veterinary care controls inflammation and protects kidney function before uremia develops.
Acute Hepatitis in Dogs and Cats
Acute hepatitis is a sudden inflammation of the liver cells, marked by jaundice, acute digestive upset, and sometimes nervous signs. Affected pets lose appetite, vomit, and may develop tremors or coma; treatment supports the liver and controls the cause and infection.
My dog has a soft, dark-colored lump under its eye — what could it be?
Without a clear photo a firm diagnosis isn't possible, but a lump under the eye may be a tumor (e.g., meibomian adenoma, histiocytoma, melanoma) or a soft cyst or hematoma from injury or infection. Have a vet examine it to confirm the type.
How should I treat a kitten with pus discharge from its eyes?
Pus from the eyes signals infection: clean and rinse with saline, apply pet-specific eye drops, use an Elizabethan collar, and see a vet if it keeps recurring.
How do I treat pus from a kitten’s eyes?
Pus-like discharge from a kitten's eyes suggests an eye infection. Clean the area, rinse with saline to flush out pus, then apply a pet antibiotic eye drop, and keep an Elizabethan collar on to stop the kitten scratching. If it recurs, see a vet for full treatment.
My cat’s right eye is often red and sometimes won’t open — what’s wrong?
Red eyes can come from infection, allergy, injury, or other eye diseases, and sometimes from immune-system issues. Put an E-collar on first to stop scratching, then use a pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and eye drops. If it doesn't improve or keeps recurring, see a vet.
What eye drops should I use for a cat with tearing in one eye?
Tearing in one eye is usually from mechanical irritation, ingrown lashes, injury, conjunctivitis, or keratitis. Flush out irritants like shampoo, hair, or dust with warm water or saline, then use a pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drop, which usually relieves it quickly. Ingrown lashes need veterinary attention, and persistent tearing should be checked by a vet.
What medication should I use for a cat that is tearing and has heavy eye discharge?
Tearing and heavy discharge may come from overheating, irritants, injury, bacterial, or viral infection. Try switching to a lighter diet with more water and keep the eyes clean, then use a pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drop if symptoms persist. If there is still no improvement, take the cat to a veterinary clinic for professional diagnosis.
What should I do if my cat’s eyes won’t open and have pus-like discharge?
Eyes that won't open with pus-like discharge can result from overheating, injury, bacterial, chlamydia, or viral infection, each needing different treatment. Gently flush the eyes, apply a pet-specific antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drop, keep the diet light, and watch for improvement. If symptoms persist, take the cat to a veterinary clinic for further diagnosis.
