Skin disease
From the photo, the dog has a bald spot with pus, mainly considered infection. See a vet to identify the infection type. If a visit is hard, clean the area with saline and apply erythromycin ointment; if no effect, stop and see a vet.
I found a stray kitten about a month old; after meals it passes brown soft stools, is energetic and eats well.
Brown soft stools in a young cat may be enteritis—bacterial, stress-related, parasitic, or viral. Good spirits don't rule out a virus not yet full-blown. Get a CBC, biochemistry, fecal, and virus screening; if vet isn't handy, try amoxicillin, bismuth subcarbonate, and probiotics for two days.
My cat has a runny nose and now nosebleeds – what medicine should I give?
A runny nose is usually a respiratory infection (bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, calicivirus, herpesvirus); untreated irritation can damage the nasal lining and cause bleeding. See a vet to identify the pathogen. If a visit is impossible and there are no other symptoms, oral Clavamox and lysine with nasal drops may help.
My dog keeps vomiting and has diarrhea; it seemed better two days ago with formed stool, then suddenly started having diarrhea and vomiting again
Repeated vomiting and diarrhea can come from diet, toxins, parasites, gut dysfunction, or viruses. Check the food first; if normal, see a vet. If care is delayed, the illness worsens. Pet antibiotics may help temporarily.
My 2-Month-Old Puppy, Home for Only 4 Days, Is Urinating Frequently in Small Amounts, Lethargic, Refuses Food, and Vomited a Milky Liquid—Stools Form but Are Soft
A puppy that refuses food, vomits, and has soft stools is likely suffering from stress or a digestive-system illness. If unvaccinated, an infectious disease cannot be ruled out, so prompt veterinary screening is recommended.
My dog started losing hair a month ago with red rings; now a patch fell out – what is it?
Hair loss with redness suggests fungal, bacterial, or parasitic infection. Get a skin scrape; if home, clip and disinfect with iodine and ointment, and use a collar.
My hamster suddenly ran around screeching, now asleep and occasionally cries out
Frantic running and screeching usually come from stress, fear, or pain. Check for wounds and clean them; if serious, see a vet. With no injury, give quiet, proper-temperature rest and don't disturb it; if no improvement, see a vet.
Reduced appetite and lethargy
From your description, the guinea pig's belly twitching, reduced appetite, and lethargy are mainly considered a respiratory infection, with pulmonary edema possible. Take it to a vet to confirm the cause; if not convenient, keep it warm and try a little isatis root (banlangen) granules and watch.
What does a normal cat eyelid look like?
A normal eyelid is pale pink, with a smooth edge and no lumps; the third eyelid stays hidden except when very relaxed or ill. Any color change, swelling, pain, protrusion, discharge, or trouble opening needs a vet.
In the past week my rabbit has lost a lot of fur on its neck, exposing skin that looks a bit grainy. Is it a skin disease, and what medicine should I use?
Neck hair loss is usually bacterial or fungal from low skin resistance; a vet exam confirms the cause. If unavailable, shave and use a pet broad-spectrum antifungal/antibacterial spray and keep a cone; see a vet if no relief.
