How can you tell if a kitten has a high temperature?
A kitten's normal temperature is 37.5C to 39.2C. If its temperature exceeds 39.5C, it is generally considered elevated or feverish.
There is a big lump inside my dog’s ear – what is it?
An ear lump may be a hematoma, tumor, polyp, or ear-mite infection. A vet exam identifies it; infection causes itching, redness, and discharge.
What causes a cat’s rectal prolapse?
Rectal prolapse usually comes from anal-sphincter weakness due to constipation or diarrhea; severe cases will not self-recover and need a vet.
My male cat is lethargic, wobbly, yellow diarrhea and urine, rapid abdominal breathing, and stopped eating after a home shave – what is wrong?
These signs suggest acute inflammation such as FIP, especially if unvaccinated. See a vet; if FIP, the drug GS-441 is the first choice.
My cat has been tearing and blinking a lot since I asked in February – is it serious?
Based on the photo, your cat likely has a chalazion from inflammation or third-eyelid hyperplasia. Use anti-inflammatory eye drops, or seek surgery if it is the third eyelid.
My cat had unconscious stool leakage on the 21st, thought mild prolapse, but on the 22nd a vet found coccidia and gave medicine; the anus keeps leaking watery stool—normal?
Leakage can be mild colitis or loosened anal sphincter from diarrhea; coccidia causes frequent watery/bloody/mucus stools. Treat with sulfa drugs and amprolium for 1-2 weeks plus symptomatic care; if dehydrated, give fluids to correct balance.
I found a stray kitten with no mother and brought it home; does this orange kitten’s mouth have a problem?
The photo shows much nose/mouth discharge, likely a respiratory infection or inflammation, but panleukopenia or calicivirus can't be ruled out; strays easily catch viruses. Get a full vet check; if diseased, follow the vet's treatment.
How can I reduce my dog’s shedding?
For heavy shedding, give fish oil and a multivitamin; fish oil's Omega-3/6 boosts coat shine, curbs inflammation, and cuts shedding. Add egg yolk or lecithin, brush regularly, and use a gentle pet shampoo every 10-15 days.
Why does my dog have yellow-green discharge around its eyes?
From the photo the dog likely has conjunctivitis. Treatment removes the cause and reduces inflammation; flush with saline and apply pet eye drops or chlortetracycline ointment for a few days. Underlying disease risks secondary infection if treatment is incomplete.
Excess yellow eye discharge, red swollen eyes, often can’t open, visible film over the eyeball
The photo shows eyelid and conjunctival inflammation, cause unknown. See a vet; if not convenient, clean with saline or pet eye drops and apply pet anti-inflammatory drops, with a collar to stop scratching. If no improvement, see a vet.
