Why Is My Cat’s Mouth Ulcerated, and How to Treat It
A cat's mouth can ulcerate from dental disease, calicivirus, or an injury that got infected. Use an oral spray for dental issues, interferon and immune support for calicivirus, and see a vet if you cannot tell - and keep up dental care.
Can You Deworm a Dog Infected with Distemper?
No — don't deworm a dog with distemper. The virus already weakens its immunity, and deworming can trigger vomiting, diarrhea, or worse. Wait until it has fully recovered and rested at least two weeks, then deworm; afterward avoid baths and vaccines too.
What are the benefits of registering a dog?
Registering a dog has many benefits: legal protection and rights (rescue, medical care); avoids being classed as a stray and taken in; records breed, age, owner for recognized legal identity. It also eases vaccine records, health files, and lost-dog recovery.
My dog has a large lump protruding from its anus after giving birth, and I don’t know what to do
A large lump from the anus after birth is likely rectal prolapse, where the rectum protrudes, from diarrhea, muscle looseness, overstrain, or birth complications. It needs a vet's surgical repair. While waiting, keep the dog in a clean warm place to avoid infection and further injury, do not try to fix it yourself, and do not delay, since prolonged prolapse causes tissue death and harder recovery.
My puppy was run over on the belly by an e-bike; intestines came out of the anus, then retracted and it could stand and walk, the belly keeps making noises, it vomited a little food, now runs fast but is low in energy, and the left hind leg is swollen and soft when pressed — will it survive?
Rectal prolapse, swollen leg, vomiting, and lethargy after a car accident are an emergency; without professional care survival is hard and even if it lives it may have permanent aftereffects. Take it to the vet at once for a full check of internal bleeding, organ damage, and fractures, with possible urgent surgery.
What should you do if a cat’s hind leg swells after being stepped on, and will it heal on its own?
Swelling after a light step may be muscle swelling or a sprain, and if the cat can still bear weight it may heal with rest and cold compresses. A heavier step can cause fracture, crack, or dislocation that will not subside on its own, so if symptoms persist or worsen, or if it cannot bear weight, see a vet promptly.
After shaving my dog on Monday I noticed this—did the shave cut the skin or is it illness?
