Why Does a Dog Pass Green Stool?
Green stool with normal form and no other symptoms is often caused by pigment-rich food and resolves quickly. Persistent green stool may indicate gallbladder problems or colitis and warrants a vet visit.
Why Does Your Cat Leak Urine?
Why does a cat leak urine? There are many causes, and a cat's urinary tract is complex, so in most cases a vet visit is needed to check. If you cannot get to a clinic right away, you can try the causes below from our experts.
My rabbit has been trembling since yesterday, low energy, though appetite is okay, and feels warm. It normally loves to run around but these two days is unusually inactive and behaves oddly. But its droppings are normal.
A rabbit can tremble for many reasons - fright, nervousness, cold or hot weather, a chill or cold, or illness causing pain or fever. In summer, if kept in hot outdoor conditions it may breathe rapidly and shake; it is recommended to keep the rabbit in a comfortably temperature-controlled environment and observe. Given your description of trembling together with a warm body surface and lowered spirits, illness is quite likely; take its temperature, and above 39.5 C indicates fever. Such diseases can be hard to spot, so a vet visit is advised to rule out infectious disease such as rabbit pasteurellosis, an acute febrile septicemic illness that causes fever and trembling.
My puppy started having episodes on the 18th. At first it had seizures and couldn’t stand steady; later it couldn’t get up at all, just lay there with its hind legs splayed and let out straining ‘uh-uh’ cries. It even vomits up the food I syringe-feed it, and seems to have lost bowel and bladder control.
Based on your description, your puppy's seizures, unsteady stance, and loss of bowel and bladder control could be caused by meningoencephalitis, epilepsy, intracranial parasites, or poisoning. Trembling, seizures, and difficulty standing are neurological symptoms that are quite serious, so you should take the puppy to a veterinary hospital promptly for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying care and putting its life at risk. Because these signs can stem from several different causes, a vet visit is needed to confirm the underlying problem.
What should I watch for when keeping a degu?
Feed degus reasonably: they are omnivores eating grains, vegetables and fruit, but avoid too much sugar or fat. Give a clean home with enough exercise space, moderate light but no direct sun, and regular health checks with prompt vet visits if abnormal.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid and won’t eat
Vomiting yellow fluid and not eating can be from infectious disease, foreign-body obstruction, hairballs, parasites, or acute gastroenteritis. First rule out infectious disease and do blood work at a vet, then treat the cause. Withhold food half a day to a day and watch; frequent vomiting risks dehydration — give fluids and an anti-vomiting injection. Self-medicating may worsen it; a vet visit is best.
My dog’s skin around the mouth is pink, fur is thin, for a while, no scratching; is it a skin disease?
Thin fur and red skin around the mouth may be from unclean diet or secondary pathogen infection. Food and water residue left damp breeds bacteria, mites, and fungus causing redness and allergy. Check for dandruff or ringworm and do a cytology; clean after meals, deworm, and use antibiotics or antifungals. If a vet visit is hard, use a broad-spectrum oral spray and low-allergen food, keep the area dry, and use a collar.
My blue cat’s eyes are red inside and the pupil seems gone; how much does treatment cost?
Eye gone likely means a cloudy or blurred pupil; red eyes with cloudy pupils suggest keratitis, corneal sequestrum, uveitis, or cataracts/glaucoma causing lens clouding. Get an eye exam (ultrasound, pressure, fluorescein); basic checks cost about 300-600, treatment varies. If a vet visit is hard, try antibiotic and cornea-repair drops first.
What to Do When a Rabbit Stops Pooping
A pet rabbit that suddenly stops defecating is often suffering from poor diet, a hairball, or weak digestion. Fixes include switching to high-fiber hay and veggies, giving hairball paste or probiotics, and boosting water and exercise. If it does not improve, a vet visit is needed to rule out other illnesses.
How to Treat a Cold in a Turtle
Turtle colds are treated by severity: mild cases need isolation and a warm (30–32°C day, 28–30°C night), well-ventilated environment plus electrolytes and sunlight; moderate cases add daily oxytetracycline soaks; severe cases need amoxicillin for two courses, with a vet visit if there is no improvement.
