After arriving home it had diarrhea and a red, swollen anus; after the anus healed, no fur grew on the tail. Feels like ringworm but no dandruff. Photo 1 is the early diarrhea, photo 2 is now.
The tail hair loss doesn't look like ringworm; it's likely severe diarrhea caused wound inflammation and infection, then follicle damage after scabbing, so fur won't grow. Follicle repair takes time; give lecithin and vitamins. Severe follicle damage may be permanent.
What Medicine Should I Give My Dog for Red, Swollen Gums?
Red swollen gums are usually treated with anti-inflammatory drugs - antibacterial oral spray, veterinary metronidazole, amoxicillin. These reduce inflammation and bacteria. But find and treat the root cause to prevent recurrence; add vitamins to boost immunity.
My Dog Was Hit Near the Eye With a Stick and Now Squints and Trembles When Opening It
An eye that will not open after a blow is likely local inflammation and swelling from trauma. See a vet to confirm severity; if not convenient, give pet pain/anti-inflammatory meds and a pet antibacterial eye drop to ease discomfort.
The skin near the hind leg has brown spots, the fur is yellowish, and it previously had ringworm and was treated with an antifungal spray.
From the photo the cat has heavy oil secretion, suggesting folliculitis from endocrine imbalance. Treatment improves diet and environment and cleans the area; for severe cases use sulfur soap or alcohol locally to curb oil and kill bacteria.
My cat is a country mouser; after two days outside it came back with a swollen leg that now oozes pus. What could be the cause?
From the photo the swollen, pus-discharging leg suggests a purulent infection. Give cefadroxil tablets to clear inflammation; for severe cases get vet injections. Keep the wound dry and clean with an Elizabethan collar.
How Is Metronidazole Used for Dog Gingivitis?
Metronidazole helps treat dog gingivitis; as a broad-spectrum antibiotic it kills harmful oral bacteria and eases inflammation, especially anaerobic infection, with clear effect on red, swollen, painful gums. If gingivitis comes from another disease, root-cause treatment is still needed.
Not eating, no energy, and a damp mouth.
Not eating, low energy, and a wet mouth may come from heat, oral inflammation, or gastrointestinal inflammation; an infectious disease is possible if unvaccinated. Calicivirus can also irritate the mouth. See a vet promptly.
My cat went outside and came back with an injured eye.
From the photo the eye is likely already necrotic. Seek veterinary care for possible conservative treatment; severe necrosis or ulcers mean enucleation, followed by disinfection and infection control, plus an Elizabethan collar.
Cat with urinary blockage can still pass a little urine.
Urinary blockage is dangerous, risking kidney failure; needs catheterization, fluids, anti-inflammation, pain relief. Mostly idiopathic cystitis or stones; stones need dissolving meds/prescription diet and more water; kidney damage needs kidney support.
Border collie eye corners red, somewhat hairless, much eye discharge – why?
Causes: parasites (mites) causing periorbital hair loss, redness, itch - vet microscopy, deworm, regular prevention. Irritation/bacteria/allergy - antibacterial eye drops plus B vitamins. Tear-duct heat from diet causes corner inflammation and tear stains.
