Dog has red streaks in the eyes, is inactive, passes little soft stool, twitches while sleeping, occasionally has hiccup-like belly movements, and sleeps constantly
Based on your description, the soft stool and hiccups may be caused by gastroenteritis, and the red eyes may indicate internal heat or inflammation. You can give the dog pet probiotics to regulate the gut and withhold food for half a day, then adjust to a light, easily digestible diet. If symptoms do not improve, take the dog to a veterinary hospital to rule out underlying disease.
The inner area around my cat’s eye is red and swollen, the eye won’t open, and one eye is injured — what should I do?
Based on your description, the injured eye with redness, swelling, and inability to open is mainly considered local inflammation from external impact. If mild, give pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory medication at home and use pet-specific broad-spectrum antiseptic eye drops to relieve symptoms. Keep an Elizabethan collar on to prevent scratching. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, take the cat to a proper veterinary hospital.
What is canine ileocecal pyogranuloma?
A canine ileocecal pyogranuloma is commonly known as cecal inflammation or a cecal cyst. There are many causes, including scratches from sharp foreign objects, intestinal parasite infections, and viral infections such as parvovirus or distemper. If a dog develops this condition, the specific cause must first be identified so that targeted treatment can be given. If the cecal inflammation is caused by intestinal parasites, the dog should be dewormed and given medications that repair the intestinal mucosa to promote recovery of gut health.
Found a skin problem a few days ago.
The photo shows a wet, pus-filled wound, usually from skin infection or secondary bacteria. Shave around it, clean with peroxide/iodine, use antibacterial spray/ointment (e.g., Bailing Jinfang, Puante, enrofloxacin). Keep an E-collar; if no improvement, get a skin scrape.
Kitten under 2 months, just home today, lots of eye discharge, very clingy, wet nose, no runny nose.
Much discharge and half-closed eyes with a wet nose suggest blocked nasolacrimal duct, rhinotracheitis, eye worms, or eye inflammation. Short-nosed cats get blockages needing surgery; rhinotracheitis has more signs; worms need deworming; inflammation uses eye drops.
My dog has a small movable ball on its mouth; what is it?
The photo shows a lump above the mouth, likely local muscle inflammation/growth or a tumor, often in older low-immunity dogs. See a vet to decide surgery vs. meds; if not convenient, give broad-spectrum antibiotics and warm compress.
My fancy rat keeps coughing/puffing; is it pneumonia or respiratory infection?
Frequent puffing and cough suggest respiratory infection, but pneumonia is possible. Try pet antibiotics (Chongliwei 3mg 2x/day) plus Shuanghuanglian (0.2ml 2x/day) and keep warm. If no relief, see a vet; pneumonia may need inflammation control and nebulization.
At night the ear runs fluid, head-shaking makes water sounds, with vomiting and poor appetite.
Ear fluid with vomiting and poor appetite suggests middle/inner ear inflammation or pus. Serious—get an endoscopic exam and treat; untreated inflammation worsens.
Is this hamster cheek-pouch eversion?! It became like this in a few days; what do I do?
The blurry photo is unclear, but eversion shows the pouch hanging from the mouth corner, from severe pouch inflammation or over-cleaning. If no necrosis, clean under anesthesia and reposition, then treat as pouch inflammation; severe infection may need surgery.
Why does my hamster have a lump under its chin?
A chin lump may come from infection, fungus, or a tumor. An abscess needs oral antibiotics and draining, while a tumor usually requires surgery. Have the hamster examined by a vet to find the cause.
