What is the best treatment for a cat’s mouth ulcers?
Oral ulcers can stem from stomatitis, vitamin deficiency, or viral infection. Severe cases need a vet exam. Untreated stomatitis may become eosinophilic granuloma. Mild cases: conservative drug therapy; poor response needs extraction.
Can a cat’s mouth ulcer heal on its own?
A cat's mouth ulcer generally will not heal by itself. Vet examination and treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs and ulcer spray are needed, plus antivirals if a viral infection is the cause.
Symptoms for 2-3 days: not eating, just lying down, tail not wagging
A dog that cannot stand and will not eat is sick - gut disease, heart disease, joint or nerve disease can all cause this, but the exact cause cannot be judged from symptoms alone. See a vet for the right treatment. The dog's state is poor; long fasting weakens it and, without treatment, can be life-threatening.
Why is my dog vomiting and passing bloody stool?
Dog vomiting with bloody stool can have various causes, including intestinal obstruction, gastroenteritis, poisoning, parasite infection, distemper, and parvovirus. Treatment differs by cause. Withhold food and water and take the dog to a vet promptly.
Is It Normal for My Turtle to Breathe With Big Movements?
Large breathing movements can come from environment, respiratory issues, stress, or heart/circulation problems. Wrong water temperature, light, or humidity can make it gasp; respiratory infection also causes breathing trouble; stress/fright too. Adjust habitat and rest; if it persists, see a vet.
My dog keeps dry-coughing and gagging, especially at night, with bright red bloody stool, abdominal twitching, and looking at its rear – what’s wrong?
Dry cough, gagging, and bloody stool may be from parasite infection; ascites, parvovirus, or coronavirus cannot be ruled out. Symptoms are already serious - see a vet to confirm the cause. If internal parasites are found, deworm promptly and give gut-lining repair medicine to ease signs.
Something Seems Wrong With My Cat’s Eyes
The photo is blurry, so no treatment advice. Heavy tear staining may come from irritants, narrow/blocked tear ducts, heat, eye disease, or other illness. Clean discharge and watch; if persistent, see a vet.
My dog stiffens its body and freezes in place; even when another dog comes to play, it goes back to this after playing a while
Based on your description, the dog may be having muscle stiffness and spasms, possibly from overly tense muscle contraction, injury, or pain. A nervous-system problem can also cause rigidity. This recurring behavior is abnormal; take it to a vet for targeted treatment.
Why Does My Dog Have Many Spots on Its Nose?
With no obvious abnormality, the color patches on the nose are likely genetic - the dog is simply built that way. In older dogs, pigmentation can darken the coat. If no discomfort, no worry; if itching/redness, see a vet.
Why is my cat drooling mucus from its mouth?
Mouth mucus can come from irritating food, a cold, stomatitis, an oral foreign body or ulcer, or digestive disease. Wipe it clean and keep the skin around the mouth dry to avoid mucus-induced eczema. If it persists, see a vet for examination and treatment.
