While trimming its nails I must have squeezed it hard – there was blood in its mouth, and then its hind legs stopped moving
If a guinea pig's hind legs stop moving, this is mainly considered to be caused by muscle injury or a skeletal problem. The owner can observe it for a while to see if it recovers on its own. If the hind-leg paralysis persists, take it to a veterinary hospital for an X-ray and other checks, and treat based on the findings. Simple muscle strain usually recovers with rest; fractures or other bone problems need prompt treatment. The blood in the mouth is unclear from your description - if it's an external wound, stop the bleeding; if it's internal, seek veterinary care.
After the mother cat picked up the kitten and accidentally dropped it, the kitten went limp, breathes with its mouth open, and twitches from time to time
Hello, based on your description, after the fall the kitten shows limpness, mouth-breathing, and occasional twitching; this is mainly considered to come from chest injury, lung bleeding, or nerve damage, and the kitten may also have a fracture. It is recommended to take the kitten to a veterinary clinic promptly for a full physical exam. The exam should include an X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, and blood chemistry, to determine the kitten's injuries and apply the right treatment.
What should I do if my dog ate a sprouted raw potato?
Eating a sprouted raw potato can poison a dog, so inducing vomiting is generally advised right away. If the best window for vomiting has passed, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly to decide whether gastric lavage or laxatives are needed, and begin detox treatment in time. If poisoning symptoms appear, detoxify immediately, as delay can be fatal. If no abnormalities show up and the exam is clear, no treatment is needed.
My kitten was bitten, won’t eat, vomits after a little food, can’t pass stool, and can’t walk
Based on your description - vomiting, stopped defecation, and inability to walk after being bitten by another cat - it is best to take the kitten to a veterinary hospital promptly. The kitten may have developed an illness from severe fright, and if the other cat carries a disease or virus, the kitten could become infected. Have it examined soon to understand its condition and apply the right treatment.
My dog was hit by a car in the hind leg, eats very little, has lost weight, and has a small lump on one side of its belly – what could be wrong and what should I do?
A lump on the belly after being hit by a car may be local swelling or a hematoma from the impact, or it could indicate a tear in the abdominal wall or internal injury. The photos also show the external wounds are fairly serious and would likely need stitches. It is best to take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly for an examination so treatment can be based on the findings, rather than delaying and risking worse outcomes.
My dog keeps vomiting yellow water with blood and won’t eat anything
Persistent vomiting of yellow water with blood is mainly considered from intestinal foreign bodies, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral infection — all damage the gut and cause bleeding. If spirits and appetite are good and stools normal, try gut-regulating medicine. If no relief or the dog is weak, get a detailed vet exam.
Lethargic, dry nose, not eating, drinks little, keeps lying down, vomited once with white foam
From your description, lethargy, dry nose, lying down, and vomiting mean the dog is sick — get a vet exam to confirm the cause. Focus on ruling out distemper; if infected, use interferon and monoclonal antibodies plus oral antibiotics to prevent secondary infection and for symptomatic care.
Its eye is injured
Hello, from the photo you uploaded, the cat is preliminarily judged to have uveitis. It is recommended to take the cat to a veterinary clinic for an ophthalmic examination and to start effective treatment promptly. If feline uveitis is not treated in time, it can worsen and lead to necrosis of the eye. Uveitis may be spontaneous or related to a systemic disease, so the cat needs a careful examination to determine the best treatment plan.
My cat is in early pregnancy and took 10 mg of doxycycline, one pill each night for seven days—could this cause fetal deformity?
Doxycycline isn't recommended in pregnancy; it can seriously affect fetal tooth development and may cause other deformities. Take the mother cat to a vet for an ultrasound to check the fetuses, and medicate only under professional guidance. For respiratory infection in a pregnant cat, amoxicillin clavulanate or some herbal cold medicine may be considered.
My cat has intermittent limb twitching, drools, is low-spirited, and has very hot ears
From your description, twitching, drooling, lethargy, and hot ears don't rule out poisoning, but heart disease, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, epilepsy, or distemper could also cause them. Get a vet exam to confirm the cause; the symptoms are serious, so timely treatment matters.
