My Parrot Was Injured by a Wild Cat and Is Bleeding – What Now and Will It Recover?
Treatment depends on severity. Minor wound: clean with peroxide or saline, then iodine; for ongoing bleeding use Yunnan Baiyao to stop it; add anti-inflammatory to drinking water. Deep/large tears need vet stitches. Recovery depends on care.
How Should I Treat a Dog’s Gum Ulceration?
Dog gum ulceration can have different causes needing different care. Food irritation, foreign-object scrapes, or oral disease may cause it. For scrapes, rinse the mouth with saline and use a pet anti-inflammatory oral spray; for severe or unclear cases, see a vet.
About 1 cm² of Hair Loss and Ulceration Below the Ear
Ear-area ulceration easily leads to secondary bacterial infection and hair loss. Clean and disinfect with saline and iodine, then apply anti-inflammatory ointment; if no improvement, get culture/sensitivity testing at a vet.
While walking the dog at night it was bitten by a black-and-white dog; the wound is fairly deep.
For a deep bite, take the dog to a vet for stitches and possibly a tetanus shot. If far away, rinse with saline, cover with damp sterile gauze; a scab that doesn't need stitches usually falls off in a week.
A big lump swelled on the left front paw and it can’t walk on it.
When the hamster's left front limb swells, check for wounds, redness, or pus and watch its behavior. For a simple injury, clean and disinfect with saline and apply ointment; see a vet if it doesn't improve.
My cat’s right front leg is swollen, and there’s a patch with no fur that looks like a burn, ulcerated.
From the photo the cat has large exposed, pus-discharging, ulcerated skin needing prompt debridement and a full check. The case is serious; without care, tissue may die and infection spread to sepsis. If unavailable, collar, oral antibiotics, and saline cleaning help.
During my leopard gecko’s shed, skin got stuck in its eye. We wiped the skin out and applied erythromycin eye ointment, but the next day it started oozing black fluid.
Shedding is normal and needs no intervention; black eye discharge suggests injury and infection. Rinse with saline and use neomycin drops twice daily; if no improvement, see an exotic-animal vet.
This morning my cat suddenly lost fur above its mouth and developed red patches; nothing was there the day before. Could it be ringworm, and what ointment is best?
From the photo, the two ulcers below the nose may be from friction; if the cat isn't vaccinated, calicivirus is also possible. Clean the area with saline, dab with iodine, and see a vet if sneezing or tearing appears.
