Why does my Golden Retriever have bumps on its body?
Bumps may come from allergy, bacterial/fungal infection, dermatitis/eczema, parasites. Food/drug allergy needs allergen removal. Flea/tick bites need deworming. Skin diseases (eczema, folliculitis) need a skin exam at the vet.
My cat walks with a limp, lifting one front paw as it goes, but I see no obvious wound and it can still jump. The paw pad looks a bit odd but it won’t let me look, so I’m not sure, and sometimes it walks normally.
The limp is likely a paw-pad issue. Without a photo the exact problem is unclear; swelling could be trauma, a foreign object, infection, or inflammation. Check the foot; if spirits and appetite are fine, serious disease is less likely. Over-worn pads can also swell and cause limping.
Its eye won’t open, pus is flowing, and when I peel it open I can barely see the eyeball; it’s swollen.
Pus and closed eyes can come from eye inflammation, trauma, immune disease, conjunctivitis, keratitis, or herpes virus. A vet eye exam is needed for targeted treatment.
A 23-day-old kitten has one eye half-open – what’s wrong, need medicine, should I help open it?
A half-open eye in a young kitten may be normal or from inflammation. Don't pry it open by hand; clean gently. Wipe discharge with a warm-water cotton swab, then saline, and watch. If it stays shut with much discharge, see a vet.
Since yesterday afternoon the chicken has kept its eyes closed, has diarrhea, breathes through its mouth, has a runny nose, and a hot comb
Chicken fever usually comes from a cold or inflammation, and bacterial disease or parasites can also cause it. Treat with fever- and pain-relieving drugs (metamizole or carbasalate calcium). Metamizole has stronger side effects and isn't for severely febrile birds (liver and kidney risk); herbal antipyretics are milder but slower.
My cat is about 5 jin (2.5 kg). The day before yesterday the vet did a laryngeal exam and said the throat was red and swollen, prescribed amoxicillin-clavulanate; after a day no improvement, and today the eyes are inflamed and it has diarrhea
Symptoms (red/swollen throat, diarrhea, eye inflammation) need a detailed exam to find the cause; consider calicivirus. Blind medication without a diagnosis is ineffective and may harm; treat per results.
Why do puppies die right after birth?
Newborn death may be from genetic problems, poor environment, or bad breeding. Infection at the umbilical cord can cause systemic inflammation and death; uncleared mouth or nose secretions can block breathing and cause suffocation.
What causes hydrocephalus in dogs?
Causes: congenital brain abnormality, infection, tumor, brain bleed, trauma. Some are born with abnormalities (ventricle size, meninges underdevelopment)—hard to cure, only symptom control. Also inflammation, tumors blocking fluid circulation/absorption, fluid buildup, structural damage.
How can I prevent my dog’s scar from getting inflamed?
If the wound has scabbed, keep it dry and clean. If not, trim fur, rinse with saline, disinfect with iodine (blot excess after 1-2 min to avoid irritation), and use an Elizabethan collar to stop licking.
What are the symptoms of kidney stones in dogs?
Symptoms of kidney stones in dogs include: 1) Pain in the kidney area — when you touch the dog's kidney region, the dog clearly flinches away. 2) Blood in the urine — the stone keeps rubbing inside the kidney, causing the kidney lining to slough off and bleed, and you may even see tissue fragments in the urine. 3) Kidney inflammation — kidney stones come with some inflammation, which may show as increased eye discharge. If you notice these symptoms in your dog, take it to a veterinary clinic promptly.
