A pregnant guinea pig shows clear signs: weight gain, swollen abdomen, swollen and prominent nipples.

The most reliable confirmation is a vet exam via palpation and X-ray.

Cataracts are common mostly in older dogs and usually develop with age; main symptoms include cloudy, blurred eyes, the pupil possibly appearing gray or white, and in severe cases complete blindness.

Possible causes of a swollen leg in a pudding hamster include malnutrition, trauma, arthritis, osteitis, or other diseases.

In addition, because hamsters are active, they may collide or sprain themselves while playing, so owners should add bedding to the cage to reduce impacts.
How do I pick a high-quality Doberman Pinscher?
Here are some suggestions for choosing a quality Doberman: First, if you want a purebred, buy from a reputable pet store or breeder and make sure the dog has a pedigree certificate and matches the breed's characteristics and standards. Second, when choosing, observe the dog's physical condition, including the coat, skin, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth for health problems.
It’s about four months old; this morning at 8 it fell from the fifth floor to the first floor. At first there was blood from the mouth and nose, but that has stopped now, though it is wheezing and has a broken leg.
Based on your description, after falling from a height your cat very likely has internal bleeding, fractures, and a ruptured palate, and the wheezing could be from pneumothorax or pulmonary hemorrhage caused by the impact. The best approach for a cat that has fallen is to take it to a veterinary hospital to assess the damage, including X-rays, ultrasound, and comprehensive blood chemistry and a complete blood count.
