My dog has had what looked like ringworm since last month. I fed it an over-the-counter herbal remedy for two or three days with no effect, and now I don’t know which medicine to use. I need a vet’s advice.
From the photo there's no obvious hair loss or scaling, so it may not be fungal but allergic. Skin disease needs a vet exam to diagnose; if allergic, find and remove the trigger and desensitize.
My guinea pig’s nose is wet inside — could it have a cold?
A moist nose alone is usually normal in guinea pigs, but check the cage for dust that irritates the airways. If sneezing, labored breathing, or lethargy appear, it's likely a cold — stabilize the temperature and give an isatis-root (banlangen) herbal remedy for three days.
What to Do When a Small Dog Has a Hypoglycemic Shock
Puppies and small dogs are especially prone to low blood sugar, particularly as the weather turns cool — shock, seizures, dropping temperature, and drooling can follow. Keep a small dog warm and know the first aid. Learn prevention and emergency care.
Are Chinchillas Prone to Heatstroke? How to Treat It
Chinchillas are very heat-prone: their thick Andean coat resists cold but they have few sweat glands, so heat and humidity quickly cause fatal heatstroke. Cool a stricken pet with ice and a fan, wipe alcohol on thin-furred spots, give a cooling remedy, and rehydrate — and keep the room below 28°C, ventilated, and shaded in summer.
Symptoms of a Cold in Guinea Pigs
A cold in guinea pigs often brings sneezing, clear nasal discharge, labored breathing, red or weepy eyes, a sore throat with coughing, lowered activity, and sometimes poor appetite when breathing or fever is affected. Give a warm, dry home with plenty of food and water and extra vitamin C. Keep the cage clean by washing bowls and changing bedding to limit bacteria. For severe or lingering cases, see a vet rather than self-medicating, since the right treatment depends on the exact condition.
Should You Walk a Dog With a Cold?
A dog with a cold should rest indoors rather than go for walks until it has fully recovered — typically three to four days for a mild case, up to a week when symptoms are worse. Keep the dog warm, use a pet-specific cold remedy for mild signs, and see a vet if a fever appears.
Can a Guinea Pig Cold Heal on Its Own?
A guinea pig cold rarely clears by itself. Unlike a human cold, it comes from different pathogens and the animal's immune defense is weak, so treatment is usually needed to ease signs and aid recovery. Symptoms are sneezing, clear nasal discharge, more eye discharge, lost appetite, and low spirits. See a vet early for diagnosis and the right antibiotics or supportive care; keep the cage warm and clean, offer vitamin-C-rich easy food, and ensure fresh water. Never medicate on your own, as wrong drugs can harm the pig.
Cat Sneezing and Has Diarrhea but Acts Normal
A cat that sneezes and has loose stools yet stays lively likely has a mild cause — nasal irritation, a light cold, or a foreign object — rather than something severe. Remove allergens, keep it warm, and don't wait to see a vet if it doesn't improve, especially before three months of age.
What to Do When a 2-Month-Old Kitten Has Diarrhea
A very young kitten with diarrhea needs prompt care — its body isn't fully developed and dehydration is a real risk. Stress, a chill, or early gastroenteritis are the usual causes; comfort and warmth help, and a probiotic or a vet visit settles the gut.
How to Treat a Sneezing, Congested Cat
A cat that only sneezes usually needs no medication, but added symptoms change the picture. Allergies, a chill, viral rhinotracheitis, or a nasal foreign body each call for a different fix — and persistent sneezing with discharge means a vet visit.
