My dog is throwing up white foam and has vomited over and over, and now there’s a bit of pink in it. But it’s the middle of the night and no clinic is open – what do I do?!
Vomiting pink foam suggests acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet, indigestion, or injury to the digestive tract lining. The dog first vomits white foam, and repeated vomiting damages the stomach lining, leading to pink, blood-tinged foam. You should withhold food and water immediately and avoid giving any medication yourself, then find a nearby emergency clinic for examination and treatment.
Why does my hamster have a small pus bump around its eye?
From the photo, a small pus bump around a hamster's eye may be from bacterial or fungal infection; take it to the vet for a skin exam to confirm the type and treat accordingly. If a visit isn't convenient, disinfect the area and apply antifungal and antibacterial medication, and use an Elizabethan collar during treatment to prevent scratching. Another possibility is 'heat' (diet-related), needing a lighter diet, saline cleaning, and eye drops.
A shepherd dog brought from Shandong; it was fine when it arrived at a factory with steel, bricks, and cement, but recently it has teary eyes, some redness, a runny nose, retching (dry cough?), and diarrhea. It doesn’t look well; please help.
Watery eyes, retching, and a runny nose suggest a respiratory infection. If unvaccinated, also consider distemper, adenovirus, coronavirus, or mycoplasma/chlamydia infection. Usually the dog carries a viral disease and, after the move and the stress of a new environment, its resistance drops and the virus flares up. Prompt vet testing is advised.
Two days ago there was reddish eye discharge and slight hair loss at the corner of the eye; today there is a red patch on the nose that looks like a nosebleed, and there’s a puffing sound when held with what seems like sneezing
Based on the symptoms described, your hamster may have nasal mucosal damage or a respiratory tract infection. Reddish eye discharge and hair loss at the eye corners may be signs of eye infection or irritation, while the red area on the nose and nosebleed could be caused by nasal mucosal damage from excessive sneezing or other nasal-cavity problems. The puffing sound may be labored breathing from sneezing and nasal congestion due to respiratory irritation.
My rabbit is losing fur and slightly bleeding. How to treat?
Fur loss and bleeding at the ear edge is usually from over-scratching due to fungus, bacteria, mites or allergy, causing skin damage; common infections cause local inflammation. Get a microscope exam of skin secretion at a vet. If unavailable, fit a collar, rinse with saline, apply iodine, and use a broad-spectrum pet skin spray twice daily.
I just brought it home like this—what is wrong and what should I apply?
From the photo, the cat may have fungal or bacterial skin disease, possibly mixed. If possible, get a skin scraping at a vet. If not, trim fur 2-3 cm around the area, rinse with saline, disinfect with iodine or hydrogen peroxide, then apply pet antibacterial spray and antifungal ointment (ketoconazole, itraconazole, terbinafine). Observe 5-7 days and use an Elizabethan collar.
What happens if a puppy eats sweet potato?
A small amount of sweet potato is generally fine for a puppy; it is nutritious, rich in vitamins, fiber, and carbohydrates. But it cannot replace main food and should only be an occasional snack in small amounts.
My dog has a bump on its eyelid but is otherwise fine and shows no discomfort
Red bumps on a dog's eyelid are often caused by insect bites, external parasites, fungal or bacterial infection, or allergic dermatitis. A vet should do a skin scraping to identify the cause and treat it with deworming, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatories.
