What happens if you hit a cat out of anger?
Hitting a cat can frighten it (dilated pupils, hiding, trembling) and in severe cases cause stress with vomiting or diarrhea. The cat may fear you and change personality, becoming timid or distant, and may even seek revenge with aggression or bad habits like inappropriate elimination.
Can everyone help check why my dog has no fur around its eyes? Thank you very much.
Hair loss around the eyes may be natural for some dogs, or if sudden, from eye infection or skin disease. Conjunctivitis causing tearing and scratching, or mites, can lead to it. See a vet for diagnosis.
What happens if you scold a cat often?

How can I tell if my dog has eyeworms (Thelazia)?
Infected dogs often scratch the eye, blink, tear up, show red conjunctiva, more discharge, and corneal ulcers. If the worm is on the eye surface, you may see a thin thread-like worm moving. Put on an E-collar to prevent corneal damage, then see a vet. Deworm regularly and keep things clean.
What happens if I don’t trim my cat’s nails?
Indoor cats get little natural wear, so nails grow long and may snap during play, injuring the toes and causing infection. Overlong nails affect walking (odd gait, slipping) and can shred carpets, curtains, and sofas or scratch the owner. Trim regularly and provide a scratching post.
Do dogs and cats show the same symptoms of rabies?
Cat and dog rabies symptoms are basically the same with slight breed differences, in two types: furious and paralytic.

Why is my rabbit losing fur around its nose?
