What happens if a dog’s femoral head dislocation is left untreated?
Dogs tolerate pain well, so early dislocation may show little. When severe, they limp or avoid bearing weight on the leg. Untreated, they may keep a 'three-legged hop'; severe bilateral cases can cause paralysis or hind-limb muscle atrophy. Once diagnosed, limit movement and see a vet promptly.
My cat is about 5 jin (2.5 kg). The day before yesterday the vet did a laryngeal exam and said the throat was red and swollen, prescribed amoxicillin-clavulanate; after a day no improvement, and today the eyes are inflamed and it has diarrhea
Symptoms (red/swollen throat, diarrhea, eye inflammation) need a detailed exam to find the cause; consider calicivirus. Blind medication without a diagnosis is ineffective and may harm; treat per results.
My dog was hit by a car in the hind leg, eats very little, has lost weight, and has a small lump on one side of its belly – what could be wrong and what should I do?
A lump on the belly after being hit by a car may be local swelling or a hematoma from the impact, or it could indicate a tear in the abdominal wall or internal injury. The photos also show the external wounds are fairly serious and would likely need stitches. It is best to take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly for an examination so treatment can be based on the findings, rather than delaying and risking worse outcomes.
What happens if you hit a dog every day?
Daily beating badly harms a dog's physical and mental health: injuries (skin, fractures, internal bleeding, disability); loss of trust, avoidance, barking, aggression; anxiety or depression causing over-grooming and tail-biting; lowered social ability, fear or aggression toward others.
What about using a shock collar to train dogs?
Shock collars can aid training per some trainers, but the fear and pain harm trust, and reactions vary, some dogs grow anxious or aggressive or suffer stress injury. Positive reinforcement is the responsible choice.
Is the Dogo Argentino suitable as a pet?
Dogo Argentinos are very loyal to owners, wary of strangers, adaptable, and athletic—good as hunting or guard dogs but not ideal pets. They're large (up to 70 cm, ~40 kg), unsuited to city apartments. They're also quite aggressive and banned in many parts of China, so check local laws and train them early.
I see something on my cat’s head; it won’t let me touch it and may be painful.
The photo is blurry but shows hair loss and red skin, possibly from trauma or skin disease. For a scratch, clean, disinfect, and apply anti-inflammatory treatment. If it doesn't improve, infection is likely—identify the type and treat properly.
Cat stress
For stress vomiting, fast 4–6 hours, then give small amounts of warm-water-softened kibble once vomiting stops. Provide a quiet, comfortable, dim environment and familiar items (blanket, toy, old clothes) or pheromones and catnip to reassure. If vomiting persists or other symptoms appear (diarrhea, fever, discharge, breathing trouble), see a vet.
What happens when a cat is pregnant?
Pregnant cats show increased appetite, weight gain, darkened nipples, and swelling; the belly grows and uterine pressure causes frequent urination. One to two days before birth they may eat less, become anxious, nest, and have a lower temperature with more vulvar discharge. Provide a quiet, nutritious, safe environment.
What is the herding dog’s temperament like?
Herding dog is a group, not a single breed (German, Scottish, Border, Shetland, Belgian, etc.), each with its own personality shaped by environment and training. They are generally smart, alert, and obedient, so they train easily and follow commands well.
