Survival depends on tumor type and malignancy. Benign tumors are cured by surgery with no life impact. Malignant ones need chemo after surgery; if they worsen or spread, life shortens to months. Treat promptly either way.
How long does it take a cat to wake from anesthesia?
Wake time depends on dose, drug, and constitution; for spay anesthesia, usually within 1 hour. After waking, do not feed; spay needs 8 hours fasting and 4 to 6 hours no water. Wait for waking before going home.
My cat has a bald, red, wet patch on the back of its neck; what is it?
It may be fungal or bacterial skin disease or wound infection causing redness and hair loss. Get a skin cytology at a vet, or at home use an E-collar, disinfect with iodine, and apply pet antibiotic ointment for 3 to 5 days, seeing a vet if no improvement.
I bought a dog a week ago; the CVD test is positive for distemper but it has no distemper symptoms, only mild diarrhea 3 to 4 times a day; what should I do?
Distemper has respiratory, intestinal, skin, and nerve forms; early infection may show normal appetite, then intestinal signs like vomiting and diarrhea. The test strip is outdated and error-prone, so confirm with PCR; treat early to avoid nerve damage.
My pregnant cat is one month along and bleeding from the bottom, dripping everywhere; she earlier had a hairless premature kitten that died; can this litter be saved?
Bleeding at one month suggests pregnancy miscarriage; get an ultrasound to find the cause and fetal survival. Miscarriage types include premature, dead, mummified fetuses; heavy red discharge and pain mean the litter may be lost and surgery may be needed. If recurring, spay her.
My dog has a moist, red, swollen spot; what could it be?

A stray cat has small red spots on its front leg with no fur around them; what is it?
Red spots signal skin disease; use a Wood's lamp at home (green fluorescence suggests ringworm) or get a skin scraping at a vet. Treat with E-collar, shaved and disinfected area, and antifungal spray; keep the environment dry and clean.
I noticed my dog’s nose has lost fur and has black spots; what is this?
A bald nose with black spots may be normal melanin deposition like age spots, or local hair loss from poor nutrition. But if there is dandruff, discharge, or red skin, it may be skin disease needing a vet.
My cat was poisoned and vomited yellow foam; I gave atropine, what should I do next?
Treatment depends on the poison type and symptoms; never blindly medicate at home. Get the cat to a hospital fast; for food poisoning, induced vomiting helps unless the cat is unconscious or ate corrosives. IV fluids speed toxin clearance.
