What happens when a hamster has ‘internal heat’?
A 'heated' hamster may have eye inflammation, bad breath, hard stools, and restlessness. Adjust diet and humidity; vet if severe.
What happens when a dog catches a cold?
Dog colds cause sneezing and cough; mild ones self-resolve, but weak dogs may get fever or secondary pneumonia. Treat promptly.
Why do dogs need anal gland cleaning?
Anal glands help dogs identify each other but can inflame if not cleaned. Regular expression prevents blockage; groomers can do it if needed.
What should I do if my cat lost its voice?
A hoarse voice can come from long calling, little food, throat foreign body, or throat inflammation. Long calling fatigues the vocal cords; meet its needs and ensure enough water. If hoarseness comes with other symptoms, see a vet.
A few days ago my cat’s left eye was blurry under light; now it is still blurry.
The photo shows a blurry cornea, usually inflammation suggesting keratitis. Simple keratitis needs an Elizabeth collar and pet eye drops 3 times daily for about a week; viral keratitis needs the primary disease treated too.
My cat’s left face is swollen and hard, with a scabbed wound behind the left ear, shaved fur, and the left eye cannot fully close.
Facial swelling can come from a bee sting, impact, oral inflammation, or allergy, each needing different care. A bee sting needs anti-inflammatory shots and ointment; a festering tooth root may need drainage or conservative treatment.
What if dog ear mites are severe?
Severe ear mites cause canal inflammation with redness, congestion, itching, and pain. Severe infection may cause ulcer, scaling, and thickening, even systemic infection and hearing damage. Frequent head-shaking and scratching may cause an ear hematoma. Treat promptly at a vet.
A parrot bought in February now has swollen eyes and is losing feathers, with feathers stuck to itself.
Swollen eyes and feather loss in parrots are mainly from one-eye cold, mite infection, or poor nutrition. Keep the environment clean and ventilated and use eye drops; deworm for mites and adjust diet for malnutrition.
My cat will not eat or drink, keeps gasping, and its belly is heaving.
Not eating, gasping, and a heaving belly may be lung or heart disease, including pneumonia, pleural effusion, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and endocarditis. Get a blood count, CRP, and ultrasound. If pneumonia, the lack of eating means high inflammation, so drugs alone are weak; consider nebulization. Heart issues need case-specific treatment.
My donkey has diarrhea and pants after shots
For donkey diarrhea, inject cefotaxime, oxytetracycline, or gentamicin, plus probiotics and smecta. Post-shot panting may be allergy, low blood sugar, or bloat; observe and offer fresh water and fodder.
