My cat has ringworm in several places; should I still take it for vaccines?
Mild ringworm without affecting appetite or spirits usually does not affect vaccination. But severe or widespread ringworm means you should not vaccinate, to avoid lowering resistance and worsening it. Treat actively, add B vitamins, and keep the environment clean, dry, and ventilated.
I have a cat and a dog; before I left the dog’s eyes were fine, but when I returned they were tearing and a bit swollen; not sure if the cat scratched it
Tearing and swelling likely mean conjunctivitis or keratitis, with light sensitivity, discharge, and redness; causes include foreign objects, entropion, a cat scratch, or rubbing. If appetite and spirits are normal, distemper is unlikely; use pet eye drops 4-6 times daily and a collar, or see a vet.
Why does my dog vomit yellow fluid?
Common causes are long hunger, foreign-object ingestion, parasites, gastroenteritis, or infectious disease. Prolonged hunger causes excess stomach acid without affecting spirits; unsuitable food upsets the gut. Frequent vomiting needs a vet.
Can You Deworm and Vaccinate a Cat at the Same Time?
Don't deworm and vaccinate a cat together — vaccination already stresses a cat and lowers immunity, and adding deworming can worsen gut upset or even make the vaccine fail. Space them a week apart, deworm first, and watch for allergic reaction after the shot.
What are the symptoms of uterine inflammation in a Teddy bear dog?
Uterine inflammation is acute or chronic. Acute occurs 1-3 days post-whelping: fever, lethargy, anorexia, vaginal discharge of mucus/blood/pus with foul odor; severe cases cause mastitis (swollen breasts, refusal to nurse). Chronic: thinness, white serous discharge, little change in spirits/appetite.
What happens if a cat gets a tumor?
Symptoms vary by type, location, health. A hard, visible lump may appear anywhere (skin, organs), pressing tissue/organs causing pain, discomfort, dysfunction, affecting appetite/spirits/mobility. Early signs are subtle; if abnormal, likely mid-stage—see a vet.
How to tell if a Corgi is healthy?
Check: spirits (normal appetite, lively); stool (firm, 1-3 times daily; soft stool, diarrhea, foul smell, blood or constipation signal problems); coat (healthy coat is clean, shiny, soft, not easily shed).
I just bought a dog, about 2-3 months old; since getting home it has been lying still, walks unsteadily, then after drinking water lies down with its eyes open
A new dog lying still and walking unsteadily may be sick (low blood sugar, dehydration), or just insecure in a new home if eating/eliminating normally—let it adjust. Watch for runny nose, vomiting, cough, diarrhea, fever; rule out distemper and parvovirus.
I fed my dog a cola chicken drumstick (no bone, just meat) the day before yesterday; next day it was lethargic and just lay down, less active and ate much less; in the evening it walked a bit; third day more active and eating more, but it makes pre-vomiting motions and swallows/drools. At the hospital it got two shots and oral liquid; no more vomiting but still swallowing and smacking. What should I do? What parts does cola damage?
Cola chicken can harm health—caffeine and sugar are unhealthy; caffeine stimulates CNS and cardiovascular system causing lethargy and fast heartbeat, sugar causes gut upset, vomiting, diarrhea, so avoid cola foods. Your dog's lingering swallow/smack after improvement suggests digestive irritation, throat infection/swelling or oral discomfort; get blood and oral/throat/esophageal checks.
At first the eye was swollen and could not open; later the nose above the affected eye swelled and started affecting the hamster’s breathing
Per your description, the hamster may have an untreated upper respiratory infection leading to secondary nasal infection (sinusitis or nasal abscess), causing swelling and breathing difficulty, with sneezing, runny nose, congestion and low spirits. Nasal tumor or foreign body is also possible. See a vet promptly to avoid airway blockage; if unavailable, conservative care with neomycin eye drops in nose/eyes, cold medicine and anti-inflammatories, plus nutrition.
