Why are my cat’s eyes turning red?
A cat's red eyes can come from irritation by foreign objects (dust, hair, shampoo), ingrown eyelashes, impact injury, or infection and inflammation such as keratitis or conjunctivitis, which needs prompt treatment.
My dog had vomiting, no appetite but drank water; after shots it stopped vomiting and eats, but now urine is sticky with blood, urethra seems clogged with mucus, very lethargic, unsteady, belly bloated.
Sticky bloody urine has many causes: drug toxicity, urethral infection/inflammation. Given prior vomiting/no eating, also consider kidney problems—older dogs easily get kidney failure. Get a vet check for the cause and targeted treatment.
My cat was burned after a lime-sulfur bath—what should I do?
Lime sulfur is a pesticide, toxic to cats—don't use it. If discomfort after use, stop immediately and go to a vet. Per the image, skin shows hair loss, pus, scabs, inflammation—get a professional exam, confirm cause, treat. Don't blindly medicate.
What Are the Symptoms of Pancreatitis in Dogs?
Dog pancreatitis is a serious, common disease driven by rich human food, genetics, or obesity. Signs are repeated vomiting and diarrhea, lethargy, fever, and abdominal pain with a stiff, hunched posture. Prevent it with fresh food and regular exercise.
How long is the course of feline coronavirus infection?
FCoV has two forms. Effusive (wet): early vague (weight loss, anorexia, weakness), then fever 39.7–41.1°C, high WBC, mild respiratory signs; later ascites, dyspnea, anemia, weakness. Course 2 weeks–2 months, mostly fatal. Non-effusive (dry): granulomas in organs, eye infections (corneal edema, iris/lens inflammation); CNS damage → ataxia, mild paralysis, seizures. Course 1–8 weeks, mostly fatal. Your cat likely shows non-effusive signs—seek professional treatment and care.
My cat has increased eye discharge. What should I do?
Per the image, heavy discharge with red conjunctiva/eyes—put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching, use anti-inflammatory eye drops, wipe discharge daily with tissue to keep dry. If repeated tearing, likely feline herpesvirus (cat flu) causing conjunctivitis, tearing, photophobia—need PCR respiratory test; if confirmed, use antivirals and eye drops.
What should I do if my cat’s paw pads are ulcerating?
Ulcerating paw pads may be bacterial infection. Clean with saline, trim fur around pads, disinfect with iodine, apply anti-inflammatory ointment, bandage with sterile gauze. Also give pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory to control infection. Keep Elizabethan collar on and pads dry; limit movement, rest to recover.
My cat vomited; blood test showed high lactate and glucose. What does it mean?
Many causes of vomiting; high lactate and slightly high glucose alone don't indicate much—could be temporary from vomiting; suspect diabetes needs further glucose test. Clinically combine symptoms with X-ray, SAA inflammation, fecal, ultrasound; treat per experience. Vomiting often from GI disease, hairballs, parasites—try subcutaneous antiemetic or famotidine; after stopping, give probiotics; if won't eat/drink, IV nutrition.
What medicine is best for a dog’s inflamed ear?
The right ear medicine depends on the pathogen. Bacterial infection alone: anti-inflammatory ear drops (e.g., EarClean, Epi-Otic alternatives, EarCare). Fungal (often Malassezia) causing odor: use a gentle ear cleanser (e.g., Epi-Otic, boric acid drops) to flush debris (no cotton swabs; use cotton/gauze), then antifungal drops (e.g., Aurizon); often secondary bacteria—combine with EarClean. If unsure, get otoscopy at a vet. Keep the collar on during treatment; feed light, hypoallergenic food to reduce oil buildup.
My cat got caught in the door and is now swollen; she cries when I touch her paw but eats and plays normally—what should I do?
After a door pinch with swelling but normal appetite, the hind leg likely has soft-tissue bruising and inflammation. If she walks normally, observe 1–2 days with pet anti-inflammatory meds; simple soft-tissue injury usually improves in about 36 hours. If no improvement, get an X-ray for fractures.
