How Many Litters Can a Cat Have a Year, and in a Lifetime?
A cat can have up to 4 litters a year, but too-frequent birth harms the mother, so breed responsibly—don't turn her into a kitten factory. This article covers safe breeding frequency and post-birth care.
What Are the Aftermaths of Canine Distemper, and How to Care for a Recovered Dog?
Even after recovery, distemper leaves permanent nerve damage—memory loss, easy illness, breathing trouble, poor coordination, twitches. Long-term rehab, a soft digestible diet, and vet-prescribed anti-seizure or respiratory meds help manage them.
After arriving home it had diarrhea and a red, swollen anus; after the anus healed, no fur grew on the tail. Feels like ringworm but no dandruff. Photo 1 is the early diarrhea, photo 2 is now.
The tail hair loss doesn't look like ringworm; it's likely severe diarrhea caused wound inflammation and infection, then follicle damage after scabbing, so fur won't grow. Follicle repair takes time; give lecithin and vitamins. Severe follicle damage may be permanent.
How long can a cat with cat rhinotracheitis live?
Rhinotracheitis can be cured and does not necessarily kill. In fatal cases, death usually occurs 7-14 days after onset. Unweaned kittens are most at risk, with a mortality up to 60%. Adult cats usually recover with prompt treatment, and although they carry the virus for life, it does not affect lifespan if it does not flare up.
Dog keeps standing with head lowered, and sometimes cries out in pain, looks very listless
Standing with head lowered likely means head/neck discomfort from disease or depression from illness; a sick dog's body droops and spirits fade. Crying out suggests severe pain; check the head for sprain, neck or nerve damage, but confirmation needs imaging at the vet. If no recovery, get an exam and treatment.
Yesterday the stool was dry with blood at the end; today it’s soft stool, end with blood; what is it?
Soft stool with blood at the end may be food intolerance or indigestion causing hemorrhagic enteritis. Parasites like giardia or coccidia that common dewormers miss are also possible. Some gut bacteria or viruses like coccal enteritis or panleukopenia cause bloody stool. If the cat eats and acts well, try pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, gut-mucosa recovery, and adsorbent anti-diarrhea meds. If no full recovery after gut care and fasting, take it for fecal, blood, and infectious tests.
Ate spicy liver on 5/30, diarrhea and vomiting, improved after a vet shot; bathed 6/1; vomited again 6/2, tests ruled out panleukopenia, diagnosed gastroenteritis
Diarrhea and vomiting after eating irritating food is usually acute gastroenteritis, needing anti-vomiting and anti-inflammatory shots, plus fluids if fasting long. A bland diet aids recovery.
What to do if a dog has a cold?
For a mild cold, keep the dog warm and give water to boost recovery. Clear symptoms need pet cold medicine plus vitamin-C foods. If it does not improve, see a vet.
My dog’s nose is broken and I am not sure what to do or how serious it is.
From the photo the dog's nose has heavy hair loss with slight overgrowth or infection at the tip. Rinse with saline or water, apply anti-inflammatory medicine, and use a collar. Watch recovery; if poor, see a vet.
My kitten got ringworm and was given shots; should I apply any medicine?
Mild ringworm often needs no injection, and shots can harm a kitten's liver. After a shot, topical antifungal is still needed: disinfect then apply the medicine to the spot.
