What Are the Symptoms of Cat Flu (Feline Rhinotracheitis) in a Kitten?
Kittens with cat flu usually show: rising temperature (around 40 C / 104 F), persistent sneezing with cough, runny nose (clear then white/yellow pus), and tearing with red, cloudy eyes. See a vet promptly.
My female cat gave birth two months ago — could she be pregnant again? Her belly is bigger, nipples turned pink, belly feels firm, she sleeps and drinks more, is clingy, and is nest-seeking.
If a cat has mated again two months after giving birth, it is quite possible she is pregnant again. Pink nipples, a swollen belly, sleepiness, and nest-seeking are typical pregnancy signs, though false pregnancy is also possible; an ultrasound can confirm.
My Hamster Trembles and Walks Abnormally After I Applied Cat Dewormer – What Happened?
Trembling after cat dewormer on a hamster is likely drug poisoning; some hamsters are allergic. Cat topical dewormers have hard-to-control ingredients and doses for hamsters, and overdose can be absorbed through skin. This is urgent - see a vet.
How much does it cost to treat feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu)?
The cost of treating cat flu is usually between 300 and 400. Each cat's condition and response differs, so the treatment plan and cost vary individually. More severe cases requiring fluid therapy and force-feeding will cost more.
My dog has an unexplained lump on its foot with a little abscess fluid; the wound is clearly painful and the dog keeps licking it. Is it a skin disease?
Redness and swelling on a dog's foot are usually caused by interdigital dermatitis (pododermatitis), an inflammation between the toes and paw pads with redness, abscesses, and discharge. Keep the area clean, disinfect, apply ointment, and use an Elizabethan collar.
Corgi skin disease; what is this medicine, and it seems useless, what to do?
Oral skin medicine may fail from wrong drug or poor care; the photo does not show the drug or confirm the infection. But heavy belly dandruff suggests fungus, so first do a skin scrape. Care: clear scale and use the right topical by pathogen, twice daily, with weekly medicated baths. Use an Elizabethan collar during treatment.
My kitten’s lower eyelid has hair loss, redness, and swelling
Lower-eyelid hair loss and redness are likely ringworm, but eye-disease inflammation is also possible. If possible, use a Wood's lamp in dim light; green fluorescence suggests ringworm, treat near the eye corner with topical antifungal. If no green reaction and the cat has tearing, conjunctivitis, or heavy stains, it is eyelid inflammation; use anti-inflammatory drops and wipe discharge often.
What should I do if my dog is poisoned by eating cherries?
Cherries are toxic to dogs; induce vomiting right after eating using hydrogen peroxide or diluted soapy water to limit absorption. If clear poisoning signs appear, go to the vet at once. Small amounts may be fine, but large amounts need gastric lavage and enema.
Red Rash Appeared on Belly, Butt, and Head After a Bath Yesterday
Based on the photo, the red bumps are most likely dermatitis from a bacterial infection or parasite bites. Check for parasites and deworm if found; for bacterial infection, use oral and topical pet anti-inflammatory medication and an Elizabethan collar.
My 4-month Golden Retriever was normal last night but this morning its legs are weak; X-ray says ligament sprain. It lies still, hard to get up, drools, won’t eat/drink. Can anyone help?
Hello. The photo alone can't judge the cruciate ligament (needs a drawer test), but the X-ray suggests hip dysplasia—common in Goldens and genetic. Typical signs: lameness, joint pain, movement trouble, swelling. See a vet for assessment; avoid hard exercise and supplement calcium and vitamin D.
