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.
Yesterday my puppy was chased by a big dog; after getting home it became listless, kept trembling, stuck its tongue out, ignored others, and hid in a corner.
If only frightened and not bitten, give a quiet, safe space, comfort it, and offer favorite food to calm it. If low energy and trembling don't ease, see a vet. Avoid large dogs soon to prevent another scare and trauma.
My Dog Was Hit Near the Eye With a Stick and Now Squints and Trembles When Opening It
An eye that will not open after a blow is likely local inflammation and swelling from trauma. See a vet to confirm severity; if not convenient, give pet pain/anti-inflammatory meds and a pet antibacterial eye drop to ease discomfort.
What should I do if my bird’s toe nail broke?
A lost toe nail is usually from trauma. Disinfect with iodine, apply a pet wound spray, and lightly bandage to stop pecking while keeping it dry. See a vet if it worsens.
What causes red ulcers on a cat’s tongue?
Tongue ulcers may come from heat, trauma, calicivirus, or vitamin B deficiency. For heat, use cooling pet meds and a light diet with more water; for deficiency, add vitamins; for viral causes, boost immunity and prevent infection.
Can feline stomatitis be completely cured?
Feline stomatitis can mostly be fully cured with correct treatment. Trauma needs cleaning plus topical spray; bacteria need scheduled spray and oral/injected anti-inflammatories; viral cases need antivirals and sometimes tooth extraction.
Brownish, fairly large, two or three patches, mainly on the rear of the body, on the skin. Parting the fur and touching it makes the dog flinch in pain.
From the photo the dog shows scabs or dandruff; with pain it may be from trauma, or a mixed bacterial and fungal infection. Shave the area, spray a wound spray, use an Elizabethan collar, and see a vet for a skin test if it spreads.
Kitten missing 3 months returned with a missing tail tip, no obvious wounds, much thinner – what to do?
Tail loss likely from trauma/abuse causing ischemia and natural drop. Healed, infection-free wound needs no action, just minor balance loss. If infected or worried about stray pathogens/parasites, vet check, deworm, skin care before home.
Kitten seemed fine this morning, now stays in one spot, walks unsteadily, weak limbs, some incontinence; suspect head injury from falling (found tapeworm 2 days ago, gave 1/4 pill dewormer, caged; cage has two levels, kitten likes to climb, fell a few times).
Wobbly walking and incontinence have many causes: head injury/concussion from trauma (vet now); drug toxicity/metabolic from dewormer (check bloodwork); long-term calcium deficiency, arthritis, joint dysplasia. Find cause first; best at a hospital.
10 days after first imported vaccine, a cat-ringworm patch appeared; left front leg swollen with hard lump, walks fine; after two days front part reduced but hard lump remains, back part unchanged, painful, not red, no ringworm/hair loss there. Is it ringworm or vaccine lump? Vaccine was in neck.
Ringworm rarely causes limb lumps; vaccine was in neck, so unrelated. Sudden limb lump needs a vet check - trauma, skin disease, arthritis, or bone. If scaling/redness appears, suspect fungal/skin; iodine locally, then treat by result.
