My three-and-a-half-month-old rabbit grew this over the last two days and I used an mouth-ulcer medicine. How long until it heals?
Rabbit mouth ulcers show red oral mucosa, a row of white blisters inside that burst into sores, drooling and difficulty eating. Check for these and treat promptly.
Our one-year-old cat recently had sudden seizures with foaming at the mouth, and today it happened three times.
Repeated seizures with foaming may be epilepsy. Before a seizure the cat is often overstimulated or hyperactive, then suddenly collapses, thrashes, foams and drools.
A two-month-old kitten was given yogurt yesterday, then today refuses kibble, foams at the mouth and has bad breath.
Yogurt is generally not recommended for cats and easily irritates a weak kitten's gut; too much cold yogurt can cause enteritis. The bad breath may also be from teething or stomatitis.
Today I noticed my dog’s teeth seem too long; the upper two look like they are growing outside the mouth.
These are the dog's canines, which are normally longer and pointier than other teeth. Canines sit between the incisors and premolars and look white and sharp.
Foaming at the mouth, running around, barking, convulsing. How do I save it?
These symptoms suggest poisoning. Identify the substance and treat promptly; do not medicate blindly.
My dog is foaming at the mouth and has blood in its stool.
Vomiting and bloody stool have many causes needing targeted treatment. First fast and withhold water, give cimetidine for vomiting and bismuth for diarrhea, then see a vet. Causes include swallowed sharp objects, acute gastroenteritis from bad food or parasites, and viral diseases like parvovirus.
My cat’s mouth is ulcerated and it cannot eat easily; it paws at its face and cries in pain when it licks the area.
Ulcers around a cat's mouth may be caused by trauma, insect bites, or oral inflammation. First put on an Elizabethan collar to stop further scratching and check inside the mouth for ulcers.
My dog has not eaten for two or three days, lies motionless, and water drips from its mouth after drinking; what should I do?
Not eating has many causes; lying down for days may mean dehydration and collapse from disease, and water not absorbing is critical. It needs IV fluids promptly; if unreachable, syringe glucose and liquid food, keep warm, and see a vet for a full exam.
After eating a wet food, my cat ran wildly and vomited undigested food, then frequently foams a little at the mouth and licks its tongue; still bright but eating less. What should I do?
This likely relates to gut discomfort from excess stomach acid, poor motility, or the wet food quality; stop the food, use anti-emetic and probiotics, and see a vet if diarrhea or lethargy follows.
A small hamster was crushed, eyes open, body limp, mouth open with teeth showing. Is it dead?
A hamster after crushing with open eyes may be dead if there is no breathing or heartbeat and the body stiffens and cools; but in winter it may be pseudo-hibernation with faint vital signs needing urgent warming.
