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.
My one-and-a-half-month-old kitten ate at 6, vomited two hours later with sudden rapid breathing. Any first aid?
Vomiting with rapid breathing suggests digestive or respiratory issues; unvaccinated kittens need infectious-disease checks. See a vet promptly; if delayed, try pet anti-vomit meds then get full treatment.
Tear stains around the eyes and also sneezing
Tear stains with sneezing mainly suggest a respiratory infection; unvaccinated cats may have calicivirus. At home, try cat cold medicine and warmth; see a vet if no relief or worsening.
My cat vomited three times: first undigested kibble and meat, second undigested kibble with white foam and pale-yellow water, third pale-yellow water with white foam. One bout of diarrhea, ears very hot but nose wet and cool. It happened before and I ignored it thinking overeating; this time is a bit worse.
Vomiting, diarrhea, and hot ears suggest acute gastroenteritis from hairballs, food intolerance, or indigestion; infection is possible. See a vet for diagnosis; if unavailable, give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic, then softened kibble in small amounts.
My cat’s right front leg is swollen, and there’s a patch with no fur that looks like a burn, ulcerated.
From the photo the cat has large exposed, pus-discharging, ulcerated skin needing prompt debridement and a full check. The case is serious; without care, tissue may die and infection spread to sepsis. If unavailable, collar, oral antibiotics, and saline cleaning help.
My turtle has blood at the nostrils, breathes with difficulty, and is listless, just sleeping.
Nose bleeding and breathing difficulty may come from a hard fall damaging liver and lungs, or from respiratory infection or pneumonia. See a vet promptly; if unavailable, try antibiotic nose drops, but seek care if no improvement.
After the fracture, other areas have gone down in swelling, but the fractured wound area has not yet subsided.
If you suspect a hamster fracture, take it for an X-ray to decide internal or external fixation. For mild cases at home, bind the area with a board and give oral anti-inflammatories, though deformity may result. Yunnan Baiyao spray can help reduce swelling.
Kitten passes white sticky substance; was pale yellow then white – cause? What medicine? Urgent!
White sticky stool may be shed intestinal mucosa from enteritis (parasites, virus like panleukopenia/corona, acute bacterial gastroenteritis). Find cause; if can't visit, fast half a day, give pet anti-inflammatory and probiotics; if no improvement, see a vet.
My cat’s leg hurts – feels like a dislocation; the left leg trembles with pain, can’t be touched on the lower body, cries at any light touch.
Leg pain can come from arthritis, injury, sprain, fracture, or trauma. Bone issues need an X-ray at the vet. At home, try broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and joint supplements for 3-4 days.
How can I tell if my cat has a fever?
A temperature above 39.5 C indicates fever, along with low energy, hiding, and rapid breathing. See a vet, or use pet fever reducers and cooling at home if a visit isn't possible.
