Can You Deworm a Cat That Has Soft Stools?
It is generally not advisable to deworm a cat with soft stools, because the medication can further irritate the intestines and worsen the problem. Address the soft stools first—with dietary fiber and probiotics—and only deworm once the stool has returned to normal for about a week. If parasites are the suspected cause, confirm with a fecal test before treating.
My cat has yellow fluid at the corner of its eye
Yellow eye discharge likely comes from bacterial or viral infection or congenital blocked tear ducts; a vet screening is needed. For mild cases, use neomycin eye drops after cleaning discharge daily; fit a collar if it scratches, and use drops 3-5 times daily.
My cat was run over by a car, is defecating, drooling, and panting heavily, but can walk slowly on its own
A cat whose belly was run over with incontinence, drooling, and heavy panting likely has serious internal injury; this is an emergency needing immediate vet care (X-ray, ultrasound). Keep it calm, do not feed or water (water can hasten death with heavy bleeding), and follow the vet's plan.
A stray cat can’t open its eyes, has no fur around the nose, and parts of its face are stiff
The photo suggests severe respiratory disease and facial skin ulceration. Eye discharge from infection builds crusted, stiff plaques; needs veterinary screening of respiratory/communicable disease. If no hospital, use antibiotics, antiviral eye drops, disinfectants, and softeners with daily dressing and a collar.
My dog has severe skin disease and there’s no reliable vet nearby-what medication should I use?
From the photo this looks like a fungal infection or pyoderma, but skin signs overlap and mixed infections occur, so a skin scraping is advised even at a basic clinic. If fungal, use antifungals like ketoconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine; severe cases need systemic treatment, medicated baths, and a clean dry environment.
My cat has had feline distemper for 7 days, hasn’t defecated, vomited white foam once, but is eating on its own
Not defecating for seven days after feline distemper may be constipation from slowed gut motility and weakened digestion, or from eating little. Professional diagnosis and dietary care are needed; the vet may do abdominal palpation, blood and fecal tests, and give laxatives, probiotics, and fluids.
My cat has hair loss around the neck with redness and scabs, and scratches until bleeding-what is it?
This is likely ringworm (cat fungus), which causes localized hair loss, itching, round bald patches with scales and scabs, commonly on the face, limbs, tail, and body. Scratching can break the skin and cause secondary bacterial infection. Confirm with a Wood's lamp or skin scraping at the vet, and treat actively.
What medicine treats a cat’s demodectic mange?
The common drug for feline demodectic mange is ivermectin, given by injection with good effect, plus topical medicine for faster recovery. But first consult a vet to confirm demodex before choosing the drug, and keep the environment clean during treatment.
What medication is needed for a Golden Retriever’s hemolytic anemia?
Golden Retriever hemolytic anemia generally requires fluid and blood transfusion therapy combined with hormones, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatories such as dexamethasone. The owner should give medication under a vet's guidance and adjust dosage correctly, while feeding more high-protein food to boost immunity and speed recovery.
Stray female cat, unknown age, found with no visible eyeball; maybe it’s healed inside; no pus or inflammation; how much would treatment cost? I’m a student and want to adopt her if affordable
A missing eyeball may be from old injury with no function to restore, costing little if no pain. But a hidden eye needs a vet exam that costs more. Only a clinic can confirm and quote.
