Is my cat catching a cold?
From the photo the cat has a runny nose and tearing, suggesting an upper respiratory infection, bronchitis, or feline rhinotracheitis. Typical signs are sneezing, coughing, and rapid breathing; causes include chills, poor husbandry, or herpesvirus. Bacterial cases use amoxicillin-clavulanate plus warmth.
My dog makes a gagging ‘ka-ka-ka’ sound; is it a cold or something stuck?
A gagging sound can mean a swallowed object or hard food scraping or blocking the esophagus; if it still eats and drinks, it is likely not a foreign object. If with runny nose, sneezing, tearing, or fever, think respiratory infection, and with biphasic fever and lethargy consider distemper or kennel cough.

White area in my cat’s pupil that grows with dilation and shrinks with contraction
White in the pupil is usually cataract or keratitis—both serious, hard to tell apart; need vet ophthalmic exam (slit lamp, pressure, retina, tears). Cataract is lens clouding blocking light; may be one or both eyes, can cause blindness, best treated surgically early. Keratitis shows discharge, tearing, eyelid inflammation—use anti-inflammatory drops and corneal-repair tears.
How to Tell If a Guinea Pig Has a Urinary Tract Infection
Signs of a guinea pig UTI are frequent, urgent, or painful urination, cloudy or bloody urine, and constant licking of the rear. It usually comes from E. coli entering the urinary tract, so limit fecal contact. Common drugs include enrofloxacin and sulfonamides, but a vet should confirm.
What happens if you hit a Teddy’s butt?
Teddies are smart; frequent hitting/scolding makes them resent or avoid the owner, lose trust and become fearful/aggressive when approached. Spanking causes little physical harm but no benefit. Use positive training (praise, treats), avoid violence.
How to tell what breed a dog is?
The dog in the photo is a rural dog (Tugou); its genes are complex and varied with no fixed traits. Generally short coat, mainly yellow/black, small erect or semi-erect ears that half-drop forward. They are healthy, strong, enduring and more naturally fertile than other breeds.
Hello, the area around my dog’s eyes is brown, like dirt but it won’t wipe off. The eyes are red and swollen, and the dog keeps pawing at them.
Red, swollen eyes with brown discharge likely mean eye injury or infection—fights, cat scratches, bumps, foreign bodies—leading to conjunctivitis, keratitis or even eyeball necrosis. The photo shows unclear eye structure, possibly severe; see a vet soon. At home, fit a collar, rinse with saline and apply pet anti-inflammatory eye drops.
I fed my dog a cola chicken drumstick (no bone, just meat) the day before yesterday; next day it was lethargic and just lay down, less active and ate much less; in the evening it walked a bit; third day more active and eating more, but it makes pre-vomiting motions and swallows/drools. At the hospital it got two shots and oral liquid; no more vomiting but still swallowing and smacking. What should I do? What parts does cola damage?
Cola chicken can harm health—caffeine and sugar are unhealthy; caffeine stimulates CNS and cardiovascular system causing lethargy and fast heartbeat, sugar causes gut upset, vomiting, diarrhea, so avoid cola foods. Your dog's lingering swallow/smack after improvement suggests digestive irritation, throat infection/swelling or oral discomfort; get blood and oral/throat/esophageal checks.
What to Do When a Turtle Won’t Eat for Days
A turtle refusing food for days is usually environmental — new surroundings, low temperature, shallow water, or illness. Keep water 10–15 cm deep, hold 22–25°C, change water often, and tempt with shrimp or raw meat (never salty food); see a vet if it persists.
