My cat has one pupil smaller than the other, with brown tears, and rhinotracheitis that improved on doxycycline and amoxicillin – what now?
Uneven pupils at night may be light or genetic and harmless if normal by day. Brown tears can be irritation or infection; have a vet confirm. After improvement, stop doxycycline and avoid over-medicating the liver and kidneys.
My cat keeps stepping in its poop while burying it – how to fix?
Stepping in poop while burying often comes from a too-small litter box or soft, smelly stools. Use a bigger box, fix the diet with probiotics, and choose low-dust clumping litter.
My dog vomits everything it eats and has constant clear vomit with diarrhea – why?
Repeated vomiting and diarrhea usually mean acute gastroenteritis or pancreatitis from infection, bad diet or blockage. See a vet; if unvaccinated, rule out parvovirus and coronavirus. At home, fast briefly and use pet meds once vomiting eases.

My dog ran to the toilet in its sleep and vomited white fluid – why?
Vomiting has many causes including parasites, poisoning, gut damage, gastroenteritis or viral infection. For ongoing vomiting, see a vet to find the cause; deworm if parasites are the trigger.
How can I make my dog’s urine more acidic?
Alkaline urine forms struvite stones, so increase water intake via wet food or broth. For worse stones, get a urinalysis and use stone-dissolving and bladder-mucosa drugs with a urinary prescription diet; cranberry powder also helps.

Is the Nature’s Domain sweet potato and duck dog food good for a Teddy?
This grain-free food uses mostly meat meal (31% meat) with added fish oil and probiotics, giving some coat and gut benefits. At about 17 yuan per jin it is decent value, but rotate to a higher-quality food later.
Why can’t dogs eat raw eggs?
Raw eggs can irritate the gut and cause vomiting or diarrhea, and may carry Salmonella or E. coli. Cook eggs before feeding, and limit the amount because of the high cholesterol.
My dog will not eat or drink – what’s wrong?
The X-ray shows bronchial and lung shadows suggesting bronchitis, plus gas in the gut meaning low appetite from a gut issue. The exact cause is unclear; get a full exam as distemper is possible.
