My cat’s eye swelled after a nap but it’s now eating and seems normal—what’s wrong?
From the photo, the closed eye and increased discharge suggest conjunctivitis, from trauma, bacterial/viral infection, or irritants, with tearing, redness, and crusted lids. Treat by cause—remove irritants then use antibiotic drops for irritants; antivirals for viral; keep an Elizabethan collar until healed.
What are the symptoms of cat scabies (mange) mite infection?
Infected cats show intense itching, thickened skin, blisters, redness, and patchy hair loss, later causing skin damage from scratching. Lesions start on ears, face, and around eyes and spread if untreated—see a vet promptly.
How can I tell if a Samoyed is purebred?
Purebred Samoyeds have white coats, an upturned tail, sturdy limbs, a triangular head, and almond eyes with moderate spacing. Ask the breeder for a pedigree certificate (though fakes exist). Purebreds are lively, friendly, and loyal—observe behavior to confirm.
How can I tell if my cat’s eyes are sick?
Sick cat eyes may show redness, tearing, pain, light sensitivity, and increased discharge, with the cat scratching its eyes. Corneal disease, glaucoma, or cataracts reduce clarity and affect vision, causing bumps and bruises. See a vet promptly if these appear.
I bathed the cat at home a while ago, then noticed yellow nasal discharge with bad breath, but it eats, drinks, runs, and jumps normally. Is this a cold or rhinotracheitis?
From the symptoms it's likely just a chill and cold. Try pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine, keep it warm, and supplement vitamins, protein, and lysine. If fever or eye redness appears, consider rhinotracheitis or calicivirus and see a vet.
My cat went out a couple days ago and came back unable to walk normally on a hind leg; after two days home it sneaked out again and was gone two days, and today came back with one side of its chin higher than the other, unable to eat kibble (only drinks water), and one eye won’t close. Could its nerve have been damaged by a blow?
Based on your description, the cat likely suffered trauma outdoors, such as a car impact or fall, causing possible fracture or soft-tissue injury in the leg, jaw dislocation or fracture, and eyelid or facial nerve damage. These are life-threatening; seek a full veterinary exam.
What should I do if my cat has internal heat (heat-related symptoms)?
When a cat has internal heat, it usually shows a dry nose, increased eye discharge, yellow urine, hard stools, bad breath, and redness inside the mouth. Adjust the diet promptly with bland, cooling foods like mung bean soup and increase water intake.
What happens if my dog’s cataracts are left untreated?
Cataracts are a vision disorder caused by clouding of the lens, leading to gradually declining eyesight. Early signs include blurred vision and a foggy veil over the eyes, and without treatment the dog may eventually go blind.
Why does my dog have yellow discharge from its eyes?
Yellow eye discharge with slight redness may indicate a bacterial infection and mild conjunctivitis. Try antibacterial eye drops after rinsing with saline; see a vet if severe. Clean and care for the eyes regularly to prevent conjunctivitis and avoid harmful substances.
At first I saw redness in the eye, searched online and thought it was white-eye disease, used eye drops; after 1–2 weeks the eye was no longer red, but a yellow transparent bump appeared on the eyelid. After applying the drops it shrank a bit, but one morning after putting it in water and taking it out at night it turned white, then yellow again after drying. Is the white-eye disease unhealed or a leftover symptom?
Based on your description, the turtle likely still has white-eye disease and is not cured. Typical signs are bloodshot, swollen eyes, white corneal discharge, and inability to open the eyes. Change water often and apply an antibiotic eye ointment like erythromycin. Medicate and change water frequently to keep it clean and help recovery.
