My dog has red bumps on its head and legs with thickened skin – what’s wrong?
Red, thickened bumps suggest demodex, scabies or a fungal infection, possibly mixed. Get a skin scraping; if unavailable, use an ivermectin parasite treatment and medicated baths.
My 2-month-old kitten has had soft stool with blood, then diarrhea after a food change – how much smectite and should I fast it?
Long diarrhea can warrant a one-day fast with glucose or fluids to avoid dehydration. It may be sudden diet change, parasites, bacterial enteritis, stress or panleukopenia; test first.
My kitten ate a rubber band; I gave soapy water and cat grass to induce vomiting but it did not work – is the soapy water harmful?
Soapy water may cause brief stomach upset but rarely poisoning; do not repeat it. Watch for the band to pass in 2-3 days; see a vet if not.
My kitten is just over 6 jin (about 3 kg); the dewormer dose is one pill for a 4 kg kitten and I gave a whole pill – is that risky?
Dewormers are toxic and can irritate the gut, causing loose stool or vomiting, which is normal and passes. An overdose can poison; watch for signs and see a vet if any appear.
My new dog tested negative for parvo, distemper and corona but has been vomiting since deworming – is it serious?
Vomiting after a dewormer is often from overdose, the drug's irritation or a sensitive gut. Dose strictly by weight; see a vet if it persists 2-3 days.
My cat drools heavily at night with slightly labored breathing but normal appetite – what’s wrong?
Drooling with breathing difficulty may signal poisoning. Check for toxic ingestion; severe cases need a vet for detox and fluids.
Why are there worms in my puppy’s stool?
Worms in stool mean an internal parasite infection like roundworms or hookworms. Deworm with a weight-based dose; a second round may be needed.
My dog ate fine at noon but lost appetite at night and vomited yellow-white fluid – what’s wrong?
Vomiting yellow fluid with no appetite can be gastritis, a virus or food poisoning. Withhold food and water and see a vet soon.
My kitten vomited after eating adult-cat dewormer – is that normal?
Vomiting after dewormer may be from overdose or gut irritation; the drug is toxic. Severe vomiting needs vet-induced emesis; mild foaming is usually transient.
My dog suddenly yelped, hid, stopped eating and began having seizures – what’s wrong?
This may be poisoning, a viral infection or epilepsy. Seizures from epilepsy usually pass, but distemper or toxin ingestion need urgent care.
