Can a Cat’s Epilepsy Heal on Its Own?
No — cat epilepsy cannot self-heal. It is a brain-based, intermittent seizure disorder. Watch for pre-attack mood swings, convulsions with foaming and tongue bites during, and confusion after. Treatment is drugs like phenobarbital, diazepam, or gabapentin under a vet.
What is a lump in a rabbit’s urethra?
A urethral lump means a mass in the lower urinary tract, related to overgrowth of the urethral lining, excess granulation tissue, abscess, or tumor-like lesions, and easily causes obstruction. Symptoms include straining to urinate, reduced or no urine, dribbling, or incontinence. See a vet promptly if these appear.
How does a dog show it has bonded with you?
A dog that has bonded shows: strong dependence and trust in the owner, with anxiety, barking, poor appetite, or incontinence if separated long. It usually obeys commands and accepts basic training. It gets along harmoniously with family and other pets — friendly, curious, or calm, not aggressive or fearful. Finally, it actively protects the owner and enjoys playing, sharing food and toys.
What happens if a dog eats rat poison?
There are many types of rat poison. If a dog eats anticoagulant-type poison, it usually prevents normal blood clotting and causes internal bleeding, even endangering its life. If it eats poison containing sodium fluoroacetate or fluoroacetamide, it will have violent vomiting, incontinence, convulsions, coma, and difficulty breathing, and will die quickly without rescue. Take it to the vet immediately if these symptoms appear.
My cat was run over by a car, is defecating, drooling, and panting heavily, but can walk slowly on its own
A cat whose belly was run over with incontinence, drooling, and heavy panting likely has serious internal injury; this is an emergency needing immediate vet care (X-ray, ultrasound). Keep it calm, do not feed or water (water can hasten death with heavy bleeding), and follow the vet's plan.
Fecal test for panleukopenia was negative yesterday, but since coming home the cat lost bowel control, keeps licking its rear with stool residue, and vomited kibble this morning though it ate and drank normally after
Loose stool, vomiting, incontinence, and rear-licking can be gastroenteritis, parasites, or anal-gland issues. Rule out viruses daily and see a vet for a gut check.
My dog’s hind legs suddenly paralyzed and the next day its belly is huge and it cannot use the toilet
Sudden hind paralysis can come from disc slip, pelvic fracture from trauma, nerve or tumor pressure, encephalitis, or low calcium. The big belly and no toilet may be paralysis-related or from fracture and nerve pressure causing constipation or incontinence; get X-ray, CT, or MRI at a vet.
My 13-year dog vomits after eating and now is incontinent
A 13-year dog with vomiting and incontinence likely has elderly issues: gut problems like gastritis, pancreatitis, or hepatitis, and urinary issues like cystitis, stones, or kidney failure. Get full exams including blood, urine, and imaging; use senior prescription diet.
My dog sits and twitches now and then
Twitching can be physiological or pathological. Limb twitches while sleeping are dreams or noise; awake belly twitches may be harmless hiccups. But full-body twitches with tongue out, stiffness, or loss of control suggest seizures from epilepsy, meningitis, or distemper, or poisoning; see a vet.
My cat was accidentally sat on; it is not in pain all over but limps and won’t put one paw down. Is it a fracture?
Handling a pressed cat depends on injury severity. Mild bruises are not life-threatening, but limping with possible fractures needs an X-ray.
