Why are my dog’s eyes red?
Red eyes can come from trauma, 'heat', eye inflammation, or infection. When dust, fur, or a foreign object gets into the eye, the dog rubs and the eye turns red — remove the object and use an antibacterial eye drop. If symptoms are severe or joined by other signs, see a vet.
Why is my dog losing a lot of hair on its ears recently?
Hair loss on a dog's ears can be caused by fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infections. Have a vet run a skin test to identify the infection type, then treat accordingly — oral antibiotics and medicated sprays for bacterial, antifungal medication for fungal, and deworming for parasitic.
Is This Canine Distemper?
A weak-positive distemper test alone isn't conclusive — confirm it against your dog's symptoms or a PCR test, then start antiviral and supportive care promptly if positive.
My cat’s drool smells foul and only flows at night — what could it be?
Foul-smelling drooling usually points to oral or digestive problems such as gingivitis, periodontitis, or mouth ulcers. Check the mouth, keep it clean, and see a vet if it doesn't improve.
What should I do if my cat is tearing up and has eye discharge?
Cat eye discharge and tearing can result from an internal 'heat' imbalance (often diet-related) or eye inflammation. An overly greasy or salty diet can cause 'heat,' leading to tearing and more discharge, so switch to a plainer diet and offer more water. If the cause is unclear and symptoms persist, take your cat to the vet for diagnosis and treatment.
Why is my cat’s eyes watering and producing brown discharge?
Watery eyes with brown discharge can stem from irritants, an unsuitable diet, or eye inflammation. Gently open the eye to check for and remove any foreign object. If the eye is also red or won't open, suspect inflammation and use pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drops; if symptoms persist, take the cat to a vet.
Why does my dog have eye discharge and watery eyes?
Eye discharge and tearing can result from irritants, dietary heat, conjunctivitis, or keratitis, with pollen, dust, or hair triggering excess tearing. Remove any irritant and use anti-inflammatory eye drops; ease dietary heat with light food, and if symptoms persist see a vet for cause-specific treatment.
What eye drops should I use for a dog with red, tearing eyes?
Redness and tearing are mainly from eye inflammation, so a pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drop may help. Stop the drops and see a vet if symptoms persist, since inflammation can have different causes such as bacterial or viral infection. Bacterial cases often respond to drops containing lysozyme or oxytetracycline, but poor response means another cause needs identifying.
My nursing cat’s nipples are hot and she won’t let the kittens nurse—is it mastitis?
Likely mastitis—hot, painful, swollen mammary glands, discharge, excessive licking. Severity guides treatment, so a vet exam is needed; usually antibiotics plus glucocorticoids, with drain-and-flush if abscessed.
