My cat has yellow fluid at the corner of its eye
Yellow eye discharge likely comes from bacterial or viral infection or congenital blocked tear ducts; a vet screening is needed. For mild cases, use neomycin eye drops after cleaning discharge daily; fit a collar if it scratches, and use drops 3-5 times daily.
What dog breeds are used as military dogs?
Common military dog breeds include the German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Labrador, Beagle, Belgian Malinois, and Dobermann. They do narcotics, guard, and search work, needing high intelligence, trainability, endurance, and adaptability; some need a keen sense of smell.
My dog is energetic and eats well, normal outside, but started with dry/spasmodic cough, dry heave, slightly dry stool, now dry heaving, partly dry stool with some powdery bits, and sneezing
Cough, dry heave, and sneezing may be a respiratory infection producing phlegm; give doxycycline and an expectorant, keep warm, and ensure water. Many causes (bronchitis, pneumonia, heart disease) exist, so see a vet if symptomatic treatment fails.
A stray cat can’t open its eyes, has no fur around the nose, and parts of its face are stiff
The photo suggests severe respiratory disease and facial skin ulceration. Eye discharge from infection builds crusted, stiff plaques; needs veterinary screening of respiratory/communicable disease. If no hospital, use antibiotics, antiviral eye drops, disinfectants, and softeners with daily dressing and a collar.
What is the red area under my puppy’s eye? I’m about to get this dog but its eye looks off
The red under the eye is tear staining, often from oily, salty food causing excess tears that oxidize, or congenital blocked tear ducts. Adjust to low-fat, low-salt food, clean the eyes often, and use care eye drops like honeysuckle drops to reduce stains and fight bacteria.
My dog is lethargic, coughing intermittently, vomiting, and has little appetite
Intermittent coughing and poor appetite in dogs have many causes, including colds or respiratory infections, bronchial or lung infections such as pneumonia, and heart disease. Prompt veterinary testing-bloodwork, respiratory virus screening, and cardiac ultrasound-is recommended.
When does a Labrador go into heat?
Labradors generally begin to go into heat at 6-8 months of age, which indicates they have reached sexual maturity. However, sexual maturity arrives earlier than physical maturity, so breeding is best delayed until the body is fully developed.
My cat’s eyebrows went bald and its eyes and paws swelled, it healed, then the other side swelled and healed, and now the skin is broken
Ulcers and moist redness are usually from a skin disease; itching leads to over-scratching and sores, so use a collar. The photo shows dirty ears with broken wounds, likely ear mites or other mites. Clean the ears daily with ear solution and apply ear medication for 2–3 weeks, and deworm monthly for three months with selamectin or fipronil. For the skin sores, clip, rinse with peroxide, disinfect with iodine, then apply antibiotic ointment twice daily; if no improvement, see a vet.
Dog with distemper pneumonia: cough, dry heaves, runny nose, poor appetite, lethargy
Distemper pneumonia shows lethargy, poor appetite, breathing trouble, frequent cough, and dry heaves; the lungs show moist or crackling sounds and a blurry outline on X-ray. The virus has reached the lungs, so take the dog to a hospital for IV fluids, electrolytes, and cough, phlegm, wheeze, and fever medicine; use systemic cephalosporins, nebulization, and antivirals early, and isolate strictly as distemper is highly contagious and often fatal.
What do red swordtails eat?
In the wild red swordtails eat small fish, shrimp, crabs, and earthworms, plus some shellfish and algae. In captivity, pellets can be the staple with live food and vegetables added; always disinfect live prey.
