What happens if a young Husky eats bones?
Occasional bone chewing helps teething but frequent chewing over-wears teeth and risks gingivitis. Bones can choke or block the throat, esophagus, or gut, and sharp bones can cut the mouth or intestines.
What happens when fleas on a dog bite a person?
Flea bites inject saliva causing itch, redness, and inflammation; some people are allergic, with blisters. Wash the bite with soapy water, disinfect with iodine, and don't scratch to avoid infection.
What should I do if my cat’s voice is hoarse?
A hoarse voice with phlegm may come from prolonged meowing, low water intake, a throat foreign object, or throat inflammation. Encourage drinking; if uncomfortable, get a checkup to find the cause.
My cat can’t fully open one eye; a small swollen lump inside the lid—what medication?
An eye that won't open with a swollen lid may be inflammation like conjunctivitis or keratitis. Buy vet eye drops or ointment. Clean the eye first, then apply anti-inflammatory drops 3x daily and keep it clean; supplement nutrition to aid recovery.
My cat lost appetite (won’t even eat favorite treats), eyes watery and barely open, sleeps all day
Poor appetite and tearing may mean an eye problem—infection, allergy, or injury. Check for trauma; if none, consider infection or inflammation. Irritating smells in the environment may also cause it. Feline rhinotracheitis is possible; if it persists, see a vet soon.
My dog’s eyeball (question unclear)
Your description is too vague and there is no photo, so it's hard to judge. If there is white mucus, it may be heat or eye inflammation increasing discharge. If there is a white spot on the eyeball, it may be corneal lipid deposits or scarring. Monitor and see a vet if it worsens.
My cat had vomiting/diarrhea (white foam) and a fever shot, then vet diagnosed gastroenteritis; now no diarrhea but vomiting thick yellow fluid, not eating, low energy
Have the vet determine if it's bacterial or viral gastroenteritis and follow treatment without stopping meds early. For repeated yellow-fluid vomiting, stop oral food/meds and use IV/subcutaneous fluids, then gut-repair meds, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and probiotics; feed liquid, easily digestible food later.
What happens if my dog eats fish food?
Fish food is high in protein and fat that dogs may not fully digest, causing diarrhea, bloating, and vomiting if eaten too much. Some dogs may be allergic, and relying on it alone causes nutritional imbalance.
Why does my dog have anal pain?
Anal pain may come from blocked anal glands, anal fissures, perianal abscess, fistula, or proctitis. Frequent crying from pain warrants a vet visit; for blocked glands, express and clean them, then treat inflammation.
My cat has a small bump near its anus; is it normal?
From the photo, the anus shows no obvious abnormality and it should be normal. A cat may show slight anal protrusion when kneading or excited—this is normal. Severe protrusion or swelling could indicate prolapse or anal gland inflammation, or parasites.
