Just brought home two days ago; eats and drinks well, very clingy, but doesn’t like to move; the other kitten is lively and chubby, sister much thinner; vet said observe 10+ days; could not moving mean panleukopenia?
Kittens are usually active; if one is inactive, watch its spirits, walking, and appetite. If abnormal, get a full check. Panleukopenia shows in 3-10 days; if no abnormality in that window, it is basically ruled out. To rule out hidden disease, a full exam is best.
My kitten’s lower eyelid has hair loss, redness, and swelling
Lower-eyelid hair loss and redness are likely ringworm, but eye-disease inflammation is also possible. If possible, use a Wood's lamp in dim light; green fluorescence suggests ringworm, treat near the eye corner with topical antifungal. If no green reaction and the cat has tearing, conjunctivitis, or heavy stains, it is eyelid inflammation; use anti-inflammatory drops and wipe discharge often.
Got a kitten from a friend after ~20 days; too small for vaccines/deworming; saw black bits above the eye thought dirty; later noticed abnormality; day 3 the eye area spread; what skin disease is this?
The photo shows hair loss, skin damage, more dander, and scabs above the eye and on the ear, likely a skin disease. Spread and dander rule out fights or injury. Suspected fungal infection; confirm with a skin scrape at the vet, which is not costly. Or first try a Wood's lamp for green fluorescence.
Why did my Pug suddenly become clingy?
A Pug becoming clingy suddenly may be due to fear, stress, anxiety, or unease, and it can also happen when the dog feels unwell. Check for health issues first; if healthy, look for anxiety triggers and remove them to support its wellbeing.
What is the condition of my cat’s gums and teeth? Is it a disease and how should I handle it?
The photo shows inflamed gums. Signs include red swollen gums, reduced appetite, difficulty chewing, and bad breath, usually from bacterial or viral infection, diet, poor dental care, or other disease. See a vet dentist early for diagnosis and targeted treatment; vet-approved anti-inflammatory drugs and oral spray help, plus daily brushing.
Why is my Golden Retriever’s nose red, swollen, and scabbed? There’s redness, bleeding, and a bump on the mouth.
The blurry photo shows hair loss, redness, scabs, broken skin near the nose—likely trauma or skin disease. Crate-bound dogs may rub the nose on the cage. With no trauma history, suspect a skin infection; do a skin scrape to check bacteria, fungus, mites, then treat specifically.
My cat is making gurgling noises and has no energy
From the photo, the cat's fur is sticky and its mental state is poor, suggesting it is sick with a fairly serious condition. Take it to a vet promptly for examination and targeted treatment. Without a confirmed cause, no treatment advice can be given, and delay could endanger its life.
Kitten – was normal before, suddenly found the lower lip dropped down and the gums are all exposed
The photo is blurry, can't see symptoms, so no advice. If lips and gums are red and swollen, consider eosinophilic granuloma, which occurs in skin and mouth and is easily confused with lymphocytic gingivitis. A veterinary cytology exam is needed to diagnose - see a vet promptly.
A two-month-old cat has white stuff in its eyes
The photo is hard to see, but both eyes likely have keratitis; the white stuff may be ulcer discharge or eye worms. If it's a thin, worm-like object that wriggles occasionally, it's likely eye worms. Either way, see a vet to prevent worsening and vision loss. Wash and disinfect hands after touching the eyes; don't rub yours.
My 4-month Golden Retriever was normal last night but this morning its legs are weak; X-ray says ligament sprain. It lies still, hard to get up, drools, won’t eat/drink. Can anyone help?
Hello. The photo alone can't judge the cruciate ligament (needs a drawer test), but the X-ray suggests hip dysplasia—common in Goldens and genetic. Typical signs: lameness, joint pain, movement trouble, swelling. See a vet for assessment; avoid hard exercise and supplement calcium and vitamin D.
