Why Do Cats Get Tear Stains?
Tear stains in cats come from short nasal passages (flat-faced breeds), dietary imbalance caused by oily or salty food, or eye infections. Wipe the eyes daily with a warm cloth, and for stubborn stains use a starch-and-boric-acid paste carefully kept out of the eye.
Why Is My Cat’s Fur Turning Yellow?
Yellow cat fur usually points to parasites, improper bathing, poor nutrition, or tear stains. Treat parasites, switch to a cat-specific shampoo used at the right frequency, improve the diet, and keep the coat groomed to restore healthy, glossy fur.
Why Does a Kitten Have So Much Eye Discharge?
Excessive eye discharge in kittens usually points to a dusty environment, a diet that is too salty or low in water, a bacterial or viral infection, dacryocystitis, or feline herpesvirus (cat flu). Clear, watery discharge from irritation can simply be wiped away, but yellow-green, sticky, or painful eyes need a vet's diagnosis and targeted treatment. If discharge comes with lethargy or loss of appetite, see a veterinarian promptly to avoid complications.
What does an impure Ragdoll cat look like?
An impure Ragdoll differs in appearance; purebreds are large with blue eyes, pointed pattern, long soft dense fur and sturdy bones, big round paws and a long fluffy tail. Impure ones have finer bones, thinner faces and less fur, lowering their looks.
We have a small black kitten with very red eyes on both sides; the right is worse. It may have fallen. What is wrong?
A fall may be related to impact and external force. A cat's lens has no blood vessels, so blood clots are usually in the anterior chamber, as seen in iris bleeding, hyphema or corneal vessel growth.
My cat is listless, always lying down, cries when touched, and often has (sometimes yellow) eye discharge.
The cat looks like a Scottish Fold; if it lies still and cries when touched, suspect inherited cartilage disease. This is very common in poorly bred folds, causing swollen tail/knee/ankle joints and pain. A vet can confirm and prescribe pain relief and chondroitin.
At what size does a red-tailed catfish start making sounds?

How to Tell If a Dog Is Purebred?
Buy from a reputable breeder and request pedigree papers. Compare the dog closely with photos of the breed, checking ears, eyes, nose, chest, bone and coat.
I forced open my 15-day-old puppy’s eyes; what should I do and how can I avoid blindness?
Newborn puppies usually open their eyes around 9 to 13 days after birth. If they have not opened by then, never force them open by hand; even if half-open, observe and supplement nutrition, as some open on their own after about a week.
Why is the fur thinning under a cat’s ears on both sides?
The sparse fur under the ears and above the eyes is the scent gland, normally acceptable and used for marking; touching objects is normal. But if there is also redness, dandruff, rash or broken skin, it is skin disease needing a vet scrape and treatment.
