A black bump first grew on her chest, then got bigger and turned green-what’s the treatment?
A green bump suggests pus from a bacterial infection (abscess). Take the hamster to an exotic-pet vet for drainage, debridement, and antibiotics. Self-treatment risks worse infection; if attempted, use peroxide, iodine, gauze, and erythromycin with two people restraining and preventing licking.
A white patch with red skin around it
The photo suggests a burn or severe skin infection damaging the epidermis and dermis, with redness, diffuse blisters, and pus; without care it can ulcerate. Isolate the cat, fit a collar, disinfect with hydrogen peroxide or iodine, and apply antibiotic ointment; deep damage may not regrow fur.
What should I do if a baby rabbit was crushed by a big rabbit and won’t eat or drink and is convulsing all over?
If a baby rabbit is crushed and shows no eating, no drinking, and whole-body convulsions, it may be serious injury or internal damage; give first aid at once and take it to a vet. Place it in a quiet, warm, dry spot with clear airways and give glucose water; check for obvious wounds or fractures without moving it; for convulsions keep the head stable; if breathing or heartbeat stops, do CPR under guidance; get to a vet for X-rays and blood work.
My 12-year-old dog had a mammary tumor we didn’t operate on due to age; it has now burst with blood-water and pus; does it need surgery, can it worsen, what medicine controls it?
Mammary tumors are common in older unspayed females and can be benign or malignant; rupture risks infection. See a vet; surgery may be advised if healthy enough, or medical care if not.
A piece of flesh by my dog’s mouth is hanging off but still attached, and the upper lip too; is this normal?
A flap of flesh near the mouth still attached may come from trauma or oral disease. Clean it and consult a vet; a dental X-ray may be needed.
My 3-year British Shorthair had urethral stricture after surgery and keeps closing up what can help?
Post-surgery urethral adhesion means the inner walls stick, from poor tissue alignment, tension, urine leak, or licking, blocking urine. It may need a second surgery to separate and dilate the urethra, with antibiotics and no licking.
My dog is injured and oozing a milky fluid can I just use iodine and human cephalosporin powder?
Milky fluid from a wound usually means a purulent infection, and human antibiotic powder is not advised because it can form a crust that traps infection. Clean the wound properly, disinfect with iodine, and follow a vet's dosage for any oral medication.
