What are the symptoms of feline stomatitis?
Severe pain causes low appetite and drooling. You may see mouth ulcers, red swollen gums, and loose teeth. Early on the cat eats carefully and avoids hard food; later it only eats soft food, may cry out, and drools foul, often blood-tinged saliva.
Dog Intestinal Obstruction: Symptoms and Treatment
Intestinal obstruction happens when a dog swallows something indigestible - food, a toy, fabric - blocking the gut and causing pain, vomiting, and sometimes bloody diarrhea. Mild cases may be managed medically; severe or perforating ones need surgery. See a vet early.
What are the symptoms of a pregnant cat?
After becoming pregnant a cat stops going into heat and avoids mating. Early signs are subtle - some sleep more and eat more. Over time she resists belly touches, avoids jumping, and her nipples redden and enlarge. Around day 30 the abdomen visibly swells; a vet ultrasound confirms litter size. By day 50 nipple changes are clearer and a little discharge appears before birth.
What are the symptoms of a cat urinary tract infection?
Cat UTI signs are frequent urination, low volume, painful urination and blood in urine. Early, the cat visits the box often but passes little or none; some stay in the box all day from constant urgency. As it worsens, urine turns cloudy with mucus or pus, sometimes blood. If the bladder fills, the vet must catheterize and use diuretics and anti-inflammatories.
What symptoms appear when a cat is infected with herpesvirus?
Feline herpesvirus symptoms vary by stage. Early: sneezing, coughing, more nasal discharge — easily confused with an upper respiratory infection. Mid: swollen red eyes, poor appetite, breathing trouble, fever. Late: mouth ulcers, weight loss, poor appetite, nosebleeds, even life danger. Take the cat to a vet as soon as symptoms appear.
What are the symptoms of feline HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)?
Feline HCM has vague early signs; as it worsens, cats get sleepy, cough, lose appetite, and breathe fast; some develop pulmonary edema (severe breathlessness). It can be hereditary (Maine Coons ~100%, some American Shorthairs). Lifelong meds, low-sodium food, and limited activity are needed.
Ringworm shows no green glow under a Wood’s lamp, scaling is nearly gone, but it’s still red and fur still comes out in clumps when pulled — what now?
Not all fungal infections glow green under a Wood's lamp (accuracy under 60%, only Microsporum shows). Persistent redness and hair loss after treatment may mean a mixed infection or non-Microsporum fungus — get a skin scrape or culture at the vet for the right medication.
Common Guinea Pig Diseases and Their Symptoms
Guinea pigs commonly suffer digestive troubles (diarrhea, constipation, gut parasites), respiratory infections (pneumonia, bronchitis), skin disease from bacteria, fungus, or external parasites, and urinary issues (cystitis, nephritis). Good diet, clean housing, checkups, and prevention keep them healthy.
What Are the Symptoms of Feline Panleukopenia (Cat Plague)?
Symptoms include repeated fever, frequent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Later, the cat may stop eating, pass blood in stool, and vomit foam; prolonged vomiting and dehydration make it weak and unsteady, and without treatment it can die within days. It's highly fatal—vaccinate with the FVRCP shot early.
What Are the Symptoms of Turtle White-Eye Disease?
Turtle white-eye disease is a bacterial infection: early signs are a red, whitening nictitating membrane with discharge, worsening to swollen, stuck-shut eyelids and a cloudy cornea, often with lost appetite. Treat with gentle cleaning plus antibiotic eye drops and ointment (and oral antibiotics for severe cases), warm the habitat, and keep water clean to prevent it.
