Why has my cat’s eyeball turned black and hard?
First check whether the black substance on the eye is dried oxidized blood; if the eye bled, see a vet for treatment based on injury severity. If the cat shows no discomfort, the eye may just be covered by paint or a foreign object, which you can clean off.
What are the symptoms of glaucoma in cats?
Feline glaucoma shows dilated pupils, protruding eyeball, tearing, cloudy cornea, red sclera, and reduced vision, with strong pain making the cat quieter and hiding. See a vet promptly to avoid worsening; treatment varies from medication to surgery.
What happens if a cat eats too many calcium tablets?
Too many calcium tablets can disrupt a cat's calcium metabolism, causing indigestion, vomiting, and diarrhea. Severe cases deposit calcium salts in joints, kidneys, and the cardiovascular system, leading to joint pain, kidney dysfunction, and urinary stones. Follow the vet's advice on dosage and watch for any abnormal reaction.
What Happens When a Cat Is Spayed?
Spaying lowers a female's risk of mammary tumors, fibroids and ovarian disease, best before first litter; males get less testicular tumor and prostate disease. It eases heat pain and stops inappropriate urination, meowing and anorexia, and reduces aggression and territoriality.
What If a Dog Is Scratched by a Cat?
Minor scratches cause pain but heal after disinfection. Deep or large wounds need vet debridement, disinfection and sutures to avoid infection. Watch for abnormal behavior, fever or anorexia, and avoid housing them together to prevent conflict.
Cat Pees on Pillow and Sofa Despite Cleaning
This is likely a male cat in heat (6-8 months) marking territory with pheromone-laced urine that lingers after washing. Spay early, though it takes 1-3 months for hormones to clear. Also rule out litter-box issues or urinary disease (frequency, pain) with a vet.
What to Do If a Cat’s Tail Gets Caught in a Door?
Assess the injury: for minor external wounds, disinfect with iodine and apply ointment. If the cat cannot move normally or the wound is large, see a vet to check for bone injury and keep it calm.
My dog fell from a height; the right hind leg won’t touch the ground, it keeps lying down, eats and drinks, breathes a bit fast, no stool or urine. Bone fractures are ruled out; the right hind leg root/butt area hurts when pressed firmly but not lightly, and lifting the leg hurts, like pain in the leg pit. What is it, is it serious?
A fall can injure the pelvis and hip (sciatic, pubic, iliac bones) or nerves, affecting defecation and possibly causing hind-limb paralysis. A firm pelvic press causing pain fits this. Get a DR X-ray; fix if fractured, or use anti-inflammatory and NSAID painkillers conservatively.
What Medication Treats Chronic Encephalitis in Dogs?
Treatment for chronic canine encephalitis includes symptomatic, antiviral and anti-infection therapy. A vet may use pain relievers for fever or nausea and antivirals or antibiotics depending on the underlying cause.
How do I break a cat’s inappropriate urination habit?
Inappropriate urination may be health, behavior, or environment. Place the litter box in a ventilated, dry spot, scoop daily, change litter, and reward after use. Clean accidents fully to remove scent. If frequent/scanty/painful urination, see a vet for urinary disease.
