Something Seems Wrong With My Cat’s Eyes
The photo is blurry, so no treatment advice. Heavy tear staining may come from irritants, narrow/blocked tear ducts, heat, eye disease, or other illness. Clean discharge and watch; if persistent, see a vet.
Keeps sticking out its tongue, bright red, slightly panting, excited, pacing the room
Tongue out and panting may be normal cooling after heat or exercise, or from respiratory/heart disease. Cool the room and let the cat rest; if panting continues, see a vet.
My cat is a country mouser; after two days outside it came back with a swollen leg that now oozes pus. What could be the cause?
From the photo the swollen, pus-discharging leg suggests a purulent infection. Give cefadroxil tablets to clear inflammation; for severe cases get vet injections. Keep the wound dry and clean with an Elizabethan collar.
I want to ask whether this is something stuck in there or a skin disease.
From the photo the cat's symptoms look like fungal or bacterial infection. Clean the paw pad to tell scab from foreign object; remove objects, medicate scabs, and get a skin smear at a vet. Keep a collar on during treatment.
What is the white line on this wound?
From the photo the white line is likely skin fascia; the deep wound needs debridement surgery to clear dead tissue and then sutures. Keep an Elizabethan collar on and give antibiotics as directed.
Is This a Worm in My Cat’s Stool?
The photo is unclear, so we cannot tell if the object is a worm or just passed foreign material. If a worm, it is likely a roundworm. If the cat has gone long without deworming, give an oral dewormer; if many worms pass, repeat in a week.
This morning my cat suddenly lost fur above its mouth and developed red patches; nothing was there the day before. Could it be ringworm, and what ointment is best?
From the photo, the two ulcers below the nose may be from friction; if the cat isn't vaccinated, calicivirus is also possible. Clean the area with saline, dab with iodine, and see a vet if sneezing or tearing appears.
Why does my cat keep squatting like a brooding hen?
Not always illness; analyze with eating, energy, temperature, breathing, pain. FIP causes it with fever, fluid, no appetite; pancreatitis causes abdominal pain; acute gastroenteritis; kidney/stone/blockage also. See a vet if energy/appetite are off.
What medicine helps a dog that drools?
Drooling has many causes - poisoning, stress, heat, rabies signs, teething. Find the cause first. Teething drooling is normal; offer teething sticks to relieve discomfort.
How do I tell if my dog has a cold?
Watch for low energy, poor appetite, sneezing, runny nose, and coughing. Keep the dog warm and give pet cold medicine; see a vet if symptoms are severe or don't improve.
