My turtle’s eyes are swollen and white; I applied erythromycin ointment, it can open them, but half the inner eye is red membrane
For a turtle's white-eye disease, isolate and keep it dry (out of water except meds); medicated baths 30–40 min daily, plus chloramphenicol, ofloxacin, or erythromycin eye drops or ointment 3–5 times daily; if resistant, switch or add oral antibiotics.
What symptoms does a cat with eczema show?
Feline eczema is acute or chronic. Acute shows red rash and papules, often on the face and back (nose bridge, eyes, cheeks), spreading to small blisters that weep; itching causes licking that worsens it. Chronic shows thickened, lichenified, scaly skin over a longer course.
How should I treat my cat’s eye inflammation?
Eye inflammation can come from scratches, bacterial conjunctivitis, or herpes virus. Use an Elizabethan collar and see a vet; for irritant causes, neomycin sulfate drops 4–6 times daily; if no improvement or viral conjunctivitis, seek veterinary antiviral treatment.
Is a Cat’s Repeated Sneezing a Sign of a Cold?
Is a cat's repeated sneezing a cold? The answer: not necessarily. Many things can make a cat sneeze, air pollutants, allergens, and more. What should you do if your cat keeps sneezing? Our pet care specialists explain the causes and solutions.
Why does a cat’s eyelid turn inward (entropion)?
Many causes—congenital (genetics, birth eye disease, mutation causing malformed eye structure) or acquired (viral/bacterial infection, facial nerve abnormality causing muscle laxity). Correctable by surgery—take to a vet promptly.
My cat has increased eye discharge. What should I do?
Per the image, heavy discharge with red conjunctiva/eyes—put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching, use anti-inflammatory eye drops, wipe discharge daily with tissue to keep dry. If repeated tearing, likely feline herpesvirus (cat flu) causing conjunctivitis, tearing, photophobia—need PCR respiratory test; if confirmed, use antivirals and eye drops.
My red-eared slider has a large lump between its neck and leg—looks like a tumor. What should I do?
A turtle tumor usually needs surgical removal at an exotic-animal hospital, else growth hinders movement. But the lump may be scabies disease, not a tumor: early stage shows a localized pus sac under skin hardening into a lump; piercing it releases white curd-like or yellow contents. If so, isolate, squeeze out contents, disinfect with iodine, apply erythromycin/chloramphenicol eye ointment; if cavity large, pack with ointment and medicate daily. Dry-dock until healed; mind water quality.
My hamster was stepped on; the next day its eye crusted over, later red and swollen, its mouth is crooked, and there is a hard lump on the left cheek pouch (none on the right)—looks like cheek-pouch inflammation per online images.
Hamster cheek-pouch inflammation signs: bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, swollen pouch, hard lump when touched. Compare symptoms to judge. If so, rinse pouch with saline to remove sticky secretions/food, apply a little anti-inflammatory; add vitamin B to water to aid recovery. Feed soft food to reduce irritation. Per your description, the lip redness may be from trauma—check pouch for inflammation; if none, it's lip swelling—disinfect with iodine and apply anti-inflammatory.
Are my cat’s eyes normal after bringing it home from the pet store?
A small amount of discharge at the eye corners is normal and usually related to diet—oily cat food can easily cause internal heat. If there is frequent, heavy eye discharge, clean it daily and switch to light, easily digestible food with more water. If you notice tearing, increased discharge, red eyes, or sneezing, see a vet.
What should I do if my dog’s eye white is scratched?
First put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching and worsening/infection. Eye-white scratches can cause keratitis or corneal perforation, so see a vet promptly; severe cases may need surgery. Mild cases need a long-acting anti-inflammatory injection plus antibacterial drops, stem-cell drops, and antibiotic ointment.
