Can a Hamster Die from a Cold, and How to Treat It?
A plain hamster cold rarely kills if caught early, but unchecked cold plus low temperature can be fatal. Mild cases need warmth and rest; worse ones may need banlangen or, for severe cases, amoxicillin—see a vet if no improvement.
Red-Eared Slider Eye Swelling and White-Eye Disease: Causes and Treatment
Swollen, shut eyes in red-eared sliders are usually white-eye disease, common in spring and autumn. Isolate a few affected turtles and treat with antibiotic drops or penicillin injections; for a tank-wide outbreak, add antibiotic to the water. Keep water clean to prevent recurrence.
Can feline calicivirus heal on its own?
Feline calicivirus basically cannot heal on its own and needs prompt treatment to avoid worsening. It is a severe contagious disease with high incidence and serious symptoms such as pneumonia and mouth ulcers. A cat with good immunity might rarely recover on its own, but see a vet early if it falls ill.
Difference between cat stomatitis and calicivirus?
Different diseases in symptoms, cause, treatment. Stomatitis is oral inflammation from tartar/bacteria/virus, treated by cleaning, meds, diet. Calicivirus is contagious viral; early signs resemble stomatitis but add respiratory, conjunctivitis, pneumonia; treated symptomatically/supportively.

Does My Hamster Have Wet Tail? There’s Also a Burnt Smell
Wet tail signs: watery grayish-white foul stools, wet dirty tail, poor appetite, hunched back, low activity; severe cases show bloody stool or rectal prolapse. Ordinary diarrhea is different—if symptoms are severe and rapid, treat wet tail promptly.
How Many Days of Medication Before Cat Flu Improves?
Cat flu treatment lasts about 10 days. If a cat gets past 7 days and symptoms ease, it is improving and likely to recover. Follow a vet's guidance and don't stop medication early.
Kitten – was normal before, suddenly found the lower lip dropped down and the gums are all exposed
The photo is blurry, can't see symptoms, so no advice. If lips and gums are red and swollen, consider eosinophilic granuloma, which occurs in skin and mouth and is easily confused with lymphocytic gingivitis. A veterinary cytology exam is needed to diagnose - see a vet promptly.
A two-month-old cat has white stuff in its eyes
The photo is hard to see, but both eyes likely have keratitis; the white stuff may be ulcer discharge or eye worms. If it's a thin, worm-like object that wriggles occasionally, it's likely eye worms. Either way, see a vet to prevent worsening and vision loss. Wash and disinfect hands after touching the eyes; don't rub yours.
Yesterday I found a cat outside and brought it home; it looks like a pet cat that got out, but it breathes poorly, nose blocked, sneezes like a cold, and has a scabbed injury on the nose. Photos 1–2 are from that night, photo 3 is this morning.
Breathing trouble, blocked nose, sneezing suggest respiratory infection or cat flu. Try doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate and watch; if no clear relief, see a vet. A stray easily catches viruses and needs proper vet care.
