How to treat a flesh-like lump in a hamster’s ear
A lump in a hamster's ear may be from tissue overgrowth, a tumor, or infection. A pink ball may be a polyp (surgically removed and disinfected); a small ball from bacteria may be an abscess (apply anti-inflammatory medicine); a tumor needs vet evaluation by type.
My cat ate a lot of kibble in the day, plus treat paste, freeze-dried food, and goat-milk powder, then vomited twice in the evening with food bits — is vomiting twice normal? Second photo is the second vomit.
A cat vomiting twice with food residue after overeating is usually a sign of indigestion; it is best to stop feeding and give some pet-specific probiotics to regulate the gut. If there is no further vomiting afterward, it is normal and you don't need to worry too much. However, if the cat keeps vomiting, it may have triggered acute gastroenteritis and needs prompt veterinary care. A kitten's digestive system is not yet fully developed and its digestive capacity is limited, so control the feeding amount normally and avoid too many types of food at once to reduce the digestive burden.
My dog has had what looked like ringworm since last month. I fed it an over-the-counter herbal remedy for two or three days with no effect, and now I don’t know which medicine to use. I need a vet’s advice.
From the photo there's no obvious hair loss or scaling, so it may not be fungal but allergic. Skin disease needs a vet exam to diagnose; if allergic, find and remove the trigger and desensitize.
What is the yellow-headed Gouldian finch like?
The Gouldian finch (also called the painted finch) is native to Australia with vivid plumage; wild types come in black-, red-, and yellow-headed forms, the yellow-headed being rarer. They are shy and skittish, which hurts hatch rates, so they're hard to breed. They need steady temps of 15–25°C (above 28°C risks heatstroke).
What kind of stone is this, struvite or calcium oxalate?
The photo shows a stone, but its type needs urinalysis and microscopy. Most cat stones are struvite, treated by acidifying urine to dissolve them and reducing phosphorus and magnesium in the diet.
What happens if a dog is beaten and suffers internal injuries?
Internal injury may show painful whining, reluctance to move, tenderness at the spot, and appetite loss. Organ damage can cause bloody stool or urine; nerve damage may bring confusion, incontinence, seizures, paralysis. See a vet for blood tests, imaging, and neuro exams, then treat per results.
Kitten got a deworming shot yesterday but still has some fleas
The shot type is unknown, so ask the treating vet. Fleas are usually treated with topical fipronil or selamectin; a second dose after a week plus environmental cleaning helps.
Which small dog breeds shed the least?
Low-shedding small breeds include the French Bulldog, Poodle, Bichon, Schnauzer, Maltese, Chihuahua, and Yorkie. Single-coated breeds and short-haired Chihuahuas shed very little.
An 11-month unspayed rescue cat is in heat and disruptive; can mild medicine suppress heat, and can it be dewormed or vaccinated during heat?
There is no safe drug to suppress estrus (side effects are large); ease signs with more exercise and petting. Deworming and vaccination are generally fine during heat if the cat is healthy and eating well, but not if appetite drops. Other questions (spay types, pre-op checks) were not addressed by the source.
What happens if a dog eats expired food?
Expired food may carry bacteria, mold, or toxins causing food poisoning (diarrhea, vomiting, fever), even sepsis. It may hold parasite eggs, and degraded nutrients cause malnutrition and lower immunity if fed long term.
