My male mixed-breed dog has a red lump protruding from his urethra, has lost his appetite, seems lethargic, and has gotten thin. What could this be?
A dog with a red tissue mass protruding from the urethra, reduced appetite, lethargy, and weight loss may have penile inflammation, a genital tumor, or another growth. Veterinary examination is needed to confirm the cause.
Why is there a red lump protruding from my male mixed-breed dog’s urethra, with weight loss and low appetite?
By visual inspection alone the protruding tissue cannot be identified—it may be penile inflammation, a genital tumor, or another growth. Take your dog to a veterinary clinic promptly for an examination so the right treatment can be given. Before the visit, clean the area with a genital-care solution or diluted antiseptic wash to prevent infection, and put an Elizabethan collar on your dog.
My cat’s eyes are discharging thick fluid — what should I do?
Thick eye discharge can come from inflammation, a viral or bacterial infection, or other eye problems. Wipe the eyes clean, then use pet-specific antibacterial eye drops; if it doesn't improve, see a vet.
What medicine should I use for a cat with red, swollen, tearing eyes that won’t open?
Red, swollen, tearing eyes that won't open in a cat are usually from inflammation or allergy. See a vet first to confirm the cause — treatment differs. Allergies are treated with glucocorticoids; bacterial inflammation is treated with a pet-specific antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drop.
What medicine works best for a dog with a lot of eye discharge?
Heavy eye discharge in a dog is often from diet-related 'heat' (too much oil and salt) or inflammation. If there are no other signs, switch to a light diet. For a bacterial infection use neomycin sulfate drops; for a viral infection use acyclovir-containing drops.
What medication works best for a dog with excessive eye discharge?
Discharge alone may mean a too salty or oily diet causing internal heat—just switch to plainer food. Bacterial cases need neomycin sulfate drops, while viral infections call for an acyclovir-based drop.
What eye drops should I use for a cat with inflamed eyes?
Feline eye inflammation has many causes — common ones are conjunctivitis, keratitis, and corneal ulcers. For simple conjunctivitis, use drops with levofloxacin or neomycin sulfate; for keratitis or corneal ulcers, use drops that aid corneal healing plus proper treatment.
What eye drops should I use for a cat’s inflamed eyes?
The right drops depend on the cause: ordinary conjunctivitis responds to levofloxacin or neomycin sulfate drops, while keratitis or corneal ulcers need corneal-healing drops plus proper veterinary treatment.
What causes a dog’s eyes to turn red?
A dog's red eyes can come from diet-related 'heat,' a foreign object, ingrown eyelashes, allergy, or eye disease (conjunctivitis, keratitis). Rinse with saline, then use chloramphenicol drops; if unsure or not improving, see a vet.
Why is my dog losing fur and having discharge under its eyes?
Under-eye fur loss with heavy discharge often means conjunctivitis: discharge soils the fur, causing staining and hair loss. Clean the eyes often and use a pet antibacterial drop (chloramphenicol, ofloxacin); if no improvement, stop and see a vet.
