Why are my cat’s eyes swollen and red and won’t open?
Swollen, red, unopenable eyes may be ingrown lashes, blocked nasolacrimal duct, trauma, or eye disease. Gently check and remove any foreign object, then use pet antibacterial eye drops. If unsure or no improvement, see a vet.
Why is my dog’s eye red and won’t open?
Red, unopenable eyes may be infection, foreign-body irritation, trauma, or other eye disease. Clear any foreign object and treat trauma with anti-inflammation; bacterial or viral infection needs the cause found for targeted care.
A female seal-point ragdoll; recently one eye keeps producing a lot of discharge. Eye drops helped a little but it relapsed quickly.
No infection is seen, so the discharge is likely from internal heat or irritants. Switch a greasy or high-calorie diet to lighter food and add water-rich fruits and vegetables. For irritant-caused discharge, remove the foreign object promptly.
I want to ask whether this is something stuck in there or a skin disease.
From the photo the cat's symptoms look like fungal or bacterial infection. Clean the paw pad to tell scab from foreign object; remove objects, medicate scabs, and get a skin smear at a vet. Keep a collar on during treatment.
Suddenly became lethargic and likes to stay alone in a corner, wants to vomit but can’t.
Dry heaving and lethargy in a cat may be caused by hairballs, a gastrointestinal foreign body, throat obstruction, or gastroenteritis. Take the cat to a vet for X-rays to check for foreign objects and decide if surgery is needed.
Why does my dog often throw up yellow fluid?
Common causes of yellow vomit are prolonged hunger, overeating, gastroenteritis, or swallowing foreign objects. If the dog eats too fast, use a slow-feeder bowl and feed on a fixed schedule to avoid hunger or overfeeding. If yellow vomiting continues, the dog may be ill - see a vet.
Came home and found one dog eye bleeding, no cry, but won’t let me touch
A free-roaming dog with a bleeding eye likely has trauma causing congestion and bleeding, like head force, a car, or a foreign object in the eye. Check the eye and head for injury; if injured, clean with saline and apply antibacterial eye drops. Not allowing touch is normal from pain; take it to the vet at once, as severe eye or internal injury can be life-threatening.
Cat’s paw has been swollen for a week; what is it?
Swollen paws may come from wound infection, skin disease, bee or insect bites, or blocked venous return; also falls, sprains, or fractures causing soft-tissue swelling, usually accidental. Check for wounds, foreign objects, or bite marks; if found, consult a vet and apply medicine. If no wound, take it to the vet for diagnosis and treatment.
One of my cat’s eyes is often half-closed and keeps tearing up.
An eye that won't open and tears can be from irritants or conjunctivitis. Check for foreign objects and clean with saline; if tearing continues with redness, try pet anti-inflammatory drops; if no relief, see a vet as it may be another disease.
It vomited something hard, like poop
The cat may be vomiting undigested food from eating too much or too fast, or exercise after meals. If it acts normal, it's likely normal regurgitation. If unknown material is vomited, consider a foreign object and watch its condition; see a vet for severe reactions.
