She stopped eating kibble a few days ago but ate cat strips; the last two days she won’t even eat strips, chicken breast, or shrimp, and drinks little. She poops and pees normally but a bit large; energy is fine, very active. Yesterday morning she vomited a little white clear fluid, then nothing since. What’s wrong?
Sudden not eating with vomiting suggests gastroenteritis, parasites, or blockage, or hairballs if no hairball paste lately. Try hairball paste; if no improvement, get an X-ray for blockage. If just inflammation, antacids and anti-inflammatories suffice.
What happens if dog mites are left untreated?
Mite infection causes itch, hair loss, thickened skin, crusting, and ulcers. Untreated, mites spread, causing whole-body hair loss and deep skin damage that can lead to systemic infection, pain, fever, and poor appetite. Deworm and use antibacterial, anti-inflammatory skin medicine.
What happens if a dog eats salt long-term?
Too much salt burdens the kidneys and can cause reduced function, high blood pressure, and heart disease. It also worsens tear stains and skin inflammation, and can fade coat and even cause neurological signs.
My fancy rat has swelling, red-purple discoloration, and strong pain on the right side of its mouth, with abnormal breathing (different from a respiratory infection) and slightly low energy.
Mouth swelling and pain may be inflammation from bacteria or food fermenting; rats store food in their cheeks, which can ferment. Give anti-inflammatory medicine like gentamicin, reduce feeding, and clean the mouth regularly.
Why does my Teddy have heavy tear stains?
Teddies have shallow, closed tear ducts and shallow lids, causing heavy stains; clean the eyes often or consider surgery. Eyelid inversion, dacryoadenitis, ear or eye infection can also cause stains; find the cause.
It used to vomit hairballs occasionally. This time it first vomited something watery, then a few minutes later yellow-green liquid.
Yellow-green vomit may signal acute gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, or coronavirus. Prior hairballs suggest hair-blockage enteritis; see a vet and use antibiotics and probiotics.
Why does a turtle get shell rot (ulcerative shell disease)?
Common causes are dirty water that breeds bacteria and weak immunity from a single-food diet. Treat with dry docking, water adjustment, and anti-inflammation to stop progression.
A few days ago my dog’s ear got inflamed; we applied medicine, and today its lower part is also inflamed.
Ear inflammation can be bacterial, fungal, or mite-related, each needing different treatment. Have a vet identify the cause; bacterial needs antibiotics, fungal needs antifungals, parasitic needs deworming.
What happens if you pull a dog’s ears hard?
Pulling ears hard can compress and strain the ear canal and eardrum, causing pain, inflammation, and infection, even hearing loss. Frequent pulling can also make the dog distrustful or aggressive. Interact gently instead.
Why Is My Dog Bleeding from Its Anus?
