What should I do about my dog’s right hind leg trembling?
A dog's right hind leg trembling may be from joint problems or injury. Check the paw for abrasions or foreign objects; if only injury, clean and disinfect and limit activity. If the paw is normal, check joints for swelling, which may need a vet.
I bathed the dog a few days ago; after that its hind legs were unsteady, and it’s been like this for days. Today it keeps falling and cries out.
Unsteady walking and falling usually aren't from bathing. In puppies it's often nutritional bone-development issues; in seniors it may be arthritis or neurological problems. Hypoglycemia also causes this. See a vet.
Spirits are fine, just watery stool. What medicine is good?
Watery stool may be food allergy, parasites, or acute enteritis. If a visit isn't possible, try pet anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrhea medicine plus probiotics; stop new foods and keep deworming.
Always kept in the countryside, tied in the yard; it was just a tiny spot at the eye corner, but after coming home for National Day in October it wasn’t this bad, and by month’s end it became a large patch.
Hair loss around a dog's eyes can be from parasites, bacteria, or fungi; a vet exam with skin scraping and cytology is best. If a visit isn't possible now, try an anti-infective medication and see a vet if it doesn't improve.
Why Did My Dog’s Right Eye Become Like This?
The eye may have corneal damage from severe trauma or infection, possibly with other eye problems. Recall any trauma or foreign body, flush with saline, check the center for wounds; corneal damage can ulcerate and need surgery. If no vet yet, use a collar and anti-inflammatory eye drops, though self-treatment may do poorly.
Why Is Your Cat So Irritable?
A cat may turn irritable from jealousy of other pets, scent changes, or territory threats. Calm it with toys, gentle words, or music, give an older cat a younger companion, and train chronic aggression early. This article covers the common triggers and how to soothe a moody cat.
My cat hasn’t eaten for two days, vomits yellow fluid, and is low in energy; what is wrong?
Yellow vomit and not eating may be distemper/coronavirus, obstruction, hairballs, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or internal disease (hepatitis, kidney failure, pancreatitis). Get a vet infectious-disease and blood check. Withhold food 0.5-1 day; if frequent vomiting, fluids and anti-emetics; do not force feed.
Red, swollen, tearing eyes with discharge, and occasional sneezing; at first one eye would not open, now the other also tears a bit and is slightly red.
Red, swollen, tearing eyes with sneezing strongly suggest feline rhinotracheitis; severe cases need a vet to avoid blindness or death. If home care, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, famciclovir, lysine, and alternating eye drops. Clean eye discharge.
Great appetite, I can hear it crunching kibble, no drooling, just gum redness, swelling, and bad breath.
Red, swollen gums and bad breath with normal appetite suggest gingivitis from tartar, bacteria, or virus. Tartar causes it; check for tartar and get a dental cleaning. If none and no wound, virus is likely; see a vet.
How do I relieve my dog’s vomiting?
Many causes (acute gastroenteritis, blockage, spasm, virus)—get a vet check for targeted meds. If can't, fast 6–8h with small warm water to avoid dehydration. If no more vomiting, give pet anti-inflammatory + antiemetic, then after 1–2h probiotics. Then small frequent bland liquid food; observe 1–2 days; if continues, see a vet.
