How do you clean a Teddy’s ears?
Cleaning a Teddy's ears: prepare pet ear cleaner, cotton balls, and tissues; wrap the dog to keep it still, add 3-5 drops, massage, then let it shake and wipe.
Doni’s right eye half-closed since afternoon, discharge and tears, only on that side; wondering if ear mites from shared cage
Eye closure and tearing have many causes including heat, irritants, and eye inflammation, not necessarily ear mites. Check the ears; if clean, ear mites are unlikely.
How do I treat a dog that keeps scratching its ears?
Constant ear scratching may be ear mites, otitis, or skin disease. Clean with ear solution for mites; use antibiotics for otitis; check skin if ears are clean.
What should I use to clean a dog’s ears?
A dog's ear canal is closed; without regular cleaning, wax builds up and breeds germs (e.g., ear mites). For lightly dirty ears, use long medical swabs and wet wipes. For dirty ears, use a pet-specific ear cleaner.
My cat is weak, has no appetite, pus from the ears, and is vomiting blood.
Based on your description—lethargy, no appetite, pus from ears, vomiting blood—the condition is serious; see a vet promptly. Ear pus suggests infection (ear mites, otitis); vomiting blood can come from stomatitis, poisoning, gastroenteritis, distemper, pancreatitis, etc. Find the cause, then treat.
My cat acted oddly after work—normally lively but last night motionless, refusing food/water, licking genitals, crying, repeatedly in the box with no result, even hissed at me. I thought constipation and gave probiotics; this morning one black hard stool, still crying with airplane ears.
Black hard stool means constipation, but check for urine—no pee suggests dangerous urinary blockage needing catheterization. With anorexia and crying it's more than constipation; see a vet.
When it first arrived its ears could spread, but these past few days they stay folded no matter what it does
A Syrian hamster folding ears may be listening to locate/check safety. If unsure or scared, keeps them folded. Also cold environment—fold to keep warm. Check ears for abnormality; if none, keep environment quiet to build security.
My puppy has good energy, eats normally, no diarrhea, but vomits occasionally—twice total—with a runny nose, cough, and a slightly warm belly, though ears and nose aren’t hot.
This could be a cold, but distemper or canine parainfluenza can't be ruled out. If unvaccinated, get a contagious-disease screen at a vet to confirm. If it's just a common cold, give doxycycline HCl and herbs for clearing heat, stopping cough, and easing breathing.
My cat has intermittent limb twitching, drools, is low-spirited, and has very hot ears
From your description, twitching, drooling, lethargy, and hot ears don't rule out poisoning, but heart disease, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, epilepsy, or distemper could also cause them. Get a vet exam to confirm the cause; the symptoms are serious, so timely treatment matters.
When my turtle lowers its head, a hard lump bulges under its neck; when laid flat it disappears. Is this normal, and why?
A hard, large lump under the neck may be inflammatory material, tissue growth, or a tumor. Get a microscope and stained-slide exam at the vet; tumor/abnormal gland cells suggest infection, else a tumor/growth needing surgery.
