Canine and Feline Nasal Adenocarcinoma
Nasal adenocarcinoma is a destructive tumor of the nasal lining in dogs and cats, producing a bleeding, pus-tinged discharge and gradually destroying the normal nasal structures. There is no reliably curative treatment, and the prognosis is poor.
Canine and Feline Otitis Media and Interna
Otitis media and interna are inflammation of the middle and inner ear, usually arising when severe outer-ear infection spreads inward. Left untreated, inner-ear disease can damage balance and facial nerves and, in the worst case, progress to meningitis.
Canine and Feline Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (Epiphora)
Nasolacrimal duct obstruction blocks normal tear drainage in dogs and cats, causing chronic epiphora (tear overflow) and facial staining. Congenital duct atresia usually needs surgical correction, while acquired obstruction from conjunctivitis or injury is managed by treating the underlying cause.
Canine and Feline Glaucoma: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Glaucoma is raised pressure inside the eye of dogs and cats from blocked fluid drainage, damaging the retina and optic nerve and risking blindness. It is managed with pressure-lowering drugs and, sometimes, surgery.
Canine and Feline Conjunctivitis: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva in dogs and cats from irritation, infection, allergy, or nearby disease, causing redness, discharge, and light sensitivity. Treatment controls infection and soothes the eye.
Canine and Feline Hordeolum (Stye) and Chalazion: Symptoms, Treatment, and Care
A hordeolum (stye) or chalazion is a localized infection or blockage of the eyelid glands in dogs and cats, usually from Staphylococcus. Small ones settle with warm compresses; large or persistent ones may need drainage or surgery.
Canine and Feline Blepharitis: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margin in dogs and cats, usually from bacterial or fungal infection of overactive glands, causing redness, crusting, and often conjunctivitis. It is treated by cleaning the lid and controlling infection.
Canine and Feline Ectropion: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Ectropion is the outward turning of the eyelid—usually the lower lid in dogs—leaving the eye exposed and prone to conjunctivitis and keratitis. Mild cases need eye care; severe cases need surgical correction.
Canine and Feline Entropion: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Entropion is the inward rolling of the eyelid edge in dogs and cats, making lashes scrape the cornea and cause tearing, conjunctivitis, and ulcers. It is often surgical, especially in breeds like Shar-Pei and Chow Chow.
Canine and Feline Eczema (Moist Dermatitis): Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Eczema is a superficial skin inflammation in dogs and cats driven by allergy and weak skin defense, producing redness, vesicles, hair loss, and crusting. It is managed by relieving itch, calming inflammation, and keeping the environment clean.
