My cat’s paw is swollen, and after a few days it lost fur and started bleeding.
From the photo, the cat may have a fungal infection or interdigital inflammation. Shave the area, clean with saline, put on an E-collar to stop licking, and watch healing. If it worsens, oozes pus, or won't heal, see a vet.
Why does my dog have pimples on its genitals?

Why does my dog shake its head frequently?
Frequent head shaking is mainly from water in the ears, a foreign object in the ear, ear mites, or ear inflammation. Water in the ear causes discomfort and shaking to expel the liquid—usually no worry, the dog clears it itself. Check for foreign objects and clean them; if ear mites are found, treat with medication.
What should I do if my dog’s tonsils are swollen?
For ordinary tonsil inflammation, give oral broad-spectrum antibiotics containing amoxicillin and clavulanate. Check the mouth for gum inflammation or tartar; clean teeth and use an oral antibacterial spray if needed. Address the root cause to prevent recurrence.

Why do older dogs get tumors?
As dogs age, metabolism slows and organ systems decline, raising tumor risk. Chronic inflammation from past illness or injury can also trigger tumors over time. The most obvious sign is a lump somewhere on the body. Have a vet check it if suspected.
What happens if a dog gets mastitis?

What’s going on? My cat has two black bumps on its lower eyelid, constant tearing, and it looks a bit swollen lately.
Bumps on the lower eyelid may be inflammation, a stye, or bacterial folliculitis. A vet microscope exam of the discharge confirms the cause; if unavailable, try anti-inflammatory eye drops and see a vet if no improvement.
What happens with a dog’s salivary gland cyst?
