I just sprayed it with iodine
Hair loss and redness on a cat's face may be bacterial, fungal, or parasitic skin inflammation. A skin scraping at the vet identifies the pathogen; at home, clip, rinse, and disinfect, then use antifungal spray and zinc oxide ointment.
My cat broke its water an hour ago but still shows no signs of labor – what should I do?
No labor an hour after water breaks is dangerous with high dystocia risk from uterine inflammation or ectopic pregnancy. Keep it calm and dark; if no progress in 30 minutes, get a vet for induction.
My dog vomited undigested yellowish food and has blood in its stool – what’s wrong?
Vomiting undigested food with bloody stool suggests enteritis or parasites, and possibly parvovirus. See a vet; if delayed, use pet broad-spectrum meds at home.
A 5- to 6-month-old kitten ate raw chicken, vomited for half a week, and now will not eat or drink and throws up after eating.
Vomiting and appetite loss after eating raw chicken suggest gastritis from poor digestion or parasites. A vet check is best; at home, broad-spectrum antibiotics and gut-recovery meds may help.
This has lasted half a year and will not go away: hair loss, redness, and inflammation on my dog’s elbow.
Long-lasting hair loss with red, inflamed skin on the elbow is often pyoderma from mites, fungi, or bacteria. A skin scraping at the clinic helps identify the cause.
My 1.5-year-old male cat was locked in a room two nights ago and peed on the bed; since last night he keeps going to the litter box every 10 minutes but produces no urine. Still the same tonight. What should I do?
This is likely feline idiopathic cystitis, a common lower-urinary issue from stress causing frequent urination with little/no output, risking blockage, blood, even rupture. Get the vet to catheterize and give anti-inflammatory/mucosal-repair meds.
My cat accidentally jumped into the oil pot and is in severe pain; its claws were burned off.
This is at least a second-degree burn; see a vet to avoid infection and ulcers. If unable, clean with saline and apply gentian violet and burn ointment 2-3 times daily, plus oral antibiotics like cefadroxil or Clavamox.
My Cat Came Back with a Tail Injury; I’m Using Antiseptic and Ointment, Appetite and Spirits Fine, but No Stool for Three Days
The photo shows a deep wound best sutured at a vet; if not, disinfect with iodine, apply pet ointment and oral antibiotics until healed, and see a vet if no improvement. Three days without stool suggests constipation, so add probiotics and belly massage.
My Rabbit Had Sudden Diarrhea, Then Green Soft Stool After Glucose; What Should I Do?
Green soft stool suggests improper diet or gastroenteritis; cut watery greens, switch the main diet to hay or pellets for rough fiber, and add water probiotics. Most vets can see rabbits; if no improvement in 1-2 days, visit one.
My Unneutered Two-Year-Old Male Cat Suddenly Blocked, First Peed Much Blood Then Yellow-Brown Fluid, Now Can’t Urinate
A blocked cat needs a vet to find the cause; complete blockage requires immediate catheterization to avoid kidney failure or ruptured bladder, plus fluids, antibiotics, and hemostatics. If still urinating, follow vet advice with diuretics and water, and return if it recurs.
