Why is there a lump between my dog’s toes?
A bump between toes may be from impact, interdigital inflammation, or a cyst. Try disinfecting with iodine and apply anti-inflammatory/swelling ointment. Watch for improvement; if not or worse, consider infection. For interdigital inflammation, use antifungal medication.
What does turtle white-eye disease look like?
White-eye disease is common in turtles: eye inflammation and swelling with a white discharge covering the eye so it can't open. The turtle may rub its eye, become restless, move less, eat less, tip its head up, and breathe fast. Severe cases add nasal pus, refusal to eat, weight loss, even death. It's linked to poor water, lack of UV, bad diet, crowding, or fighting. Treat with antibiotic eye drops/ointment and improve the habitat.

High blood sugar may be metabolic or from food/IVs before testing. Not eating may reflect inflammation or metabolic issues; more tests needed.
