My Hamster Is Almost Three Years Old and Has a Swollen Face; Could It Be Life-Threatening and What Is It?
From the photo, the swollen face is likely due to heat, cheek pouch inflammation, periodontal disease, or facial pyoderma. Identify the cause first, then isolate the hamster and adjust its diet while monitoring its symptoms.
What medicine for this kitten? Sick over a week, given by others, sits at the litter box with a swollen rear, walks oddly; we fed egg, ham and goat milk — why?
The photo suggests rectal prolapse from frequent diarrhea, possibly anal gland inflammation. The kitten's gut is fragile; under 2 months feed only goat milk, not ham or egg. Adjust diet to ease diarrhea; see a vet if it continues.
What causes an open sore near my cat’s mouth?
With no photo, this may be mouth ulcer, stomatitis or bacterial/fungal infection. Clean with saline and apply pet antiseptic skin liquid; severe cases need oral antibiotics and an E-collar. See a vet if it does not improve.
Cat keeps scratching ears, fluid coming out, fur near ears matted.
Signs match ear mites with possible secondary otitis externa. Use an E-collar, clean with ear drops, then ivermectin/compound nystatin meds, and hydrocortisone ointment. Mites are stubborn—treat 15-20 days; see a vet if no improvement.
Body stiff, no energy, cold limbs and ears, vomiting yellow fluid, lying down for two days without eating/drinking.
Stiff body, cold limbs, yellow vomit are serious—possibly distemper, coronavirus, pancreatitis, hepatitis, nephritis—causing low blood sugar and temperature, even death risk. See a vet for emergency treatment.
Cat mom is not fold-eared, cat dad may be an orange tabby; some kittens are fold-eared and some straight. Are they fold-eared? Will they get sick, and how long do they live?
Photos show one half-fold and one fold-ear; the fold gene skips generations, so the mom may carry it. Fold-ears live 10-15 years. Most carry congenital cartilage dysplasia causing severe pain, even paralysis; get imaging and give chondroitin.
Can All Dogs Have Erect Ears?
Not all dogs have erect ears; many breeds do, like the German Shepherd and Samoyed, while some always flop. Per the source, Corgi, Samoyed, and Standard Schnauzer are listed as non-erect.
My hamster has a large wound; bleeding stopped but now clear fluid is leaking
From the photo the bite wound is severe and won't heal easily; seek vet debridement and sutures. If not possible, flush with saline, squeeze out pus/blood, clean, and apply Yunnan Baiyao powder. Give antibiotics like amoxicillin to prevent infection.
Why are my cat’s ears red with scabs?
From the photo, red, scabbed ears suggest fungal infection, but allergy can't be ruled out. Use an antifungal spray or ointment and observe; if no improvement, get a skin scrape at the vet for targeted treatment.
There is ringworm on the rear; the dog bites it daily, bleeding and scabbing
From the photo, it may not be only dog ringworm; fungal infection likely mixed with bacteria and serious skin damage. Use an Elizabethan collar to stop biting. Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, then use terbinafine spray and antibacterial skin ointment. Change dressing 3-5 days; if no improvement, get a skin scraping.
