Dog eye had an ulcer, treated with anti-inflammatories and drops, healed, then two days later the whole eye turned blue; used ofloxacin and bFGF drops alternately, blue gone, but the black part is crystal-red; 10 days less red but not normal. What now?
Since the eye improved with medication, continue a while to see full recovery. Blue tint suggests corneal damage; the drops repair cornea. If not fully recovered, get an eye exam at a vet.
Cat’s lower body can’t move, very painful, walks hunched, tail can’t move, bites when touched, can’t sit, hard to stand up
Inability to move the lower body with pain may be spine issues, neuritis, or cardiomyopathy. The condition is serious; get X-ray, blood, and CT at a vet promptly.
Fine the first day, then suddenly no eating and low energy; third day still not eating with lots of eye discharge; gave amoxicillin twice; fourth day still low but ate some cat strips, no vomit/diarrhea/runny nose. On the fourth sick day another kitten also stopped eating.
Based on your description, the cat likely has feline rhinotracheitis (herpes). It is contagious; isolate both and take them to a vet promptly.
My cat frequently twitches and howls, cannot walk normally, is incontinent, has puffed-up fur, refuses food and water, and is lethargic; X-ray and blood tests showed nothing. Could it be epilepsy?
Based on your description, the symptoms do not rule out epilepsy. Encephalitis or nerve damage could also cause them. Further tests such as MRI and CT are recommended.
A stray cat just brought home, no health check done; what is wrong with its mouth?
From the photo, no abnormality was found; the dark area around the gums may be normal pigmentation. If the area is smooth and not raised, there is no need to worry.
Vomited pink fluid on day one, pale yellow on day two, nothing on day three, ate normally the first three days, but today stopped eating and vomited with blood streaks
There are many causes of vomiting in cats, including hairballs, gastroenteritis, eating the wrong food, or foreign body obstruction. It is recommended to take the cat to a veterinary hospital promptly to find the cause.
Started licking its anus frequently a month ago, then began urinating randomly with occasional blood, and now has been bleeding continuously since today, also vomiting and crying in pain when picked up
Blood in a cat's urine is generally caused by urinary tract diseases such as crystals, stones, or urethritis. Because the cat is also frequently licking its anus, you should determine whether it is actually blood in the urine or in the stool.
What causes lumps on a dog’s back
From the photo the lumps may be lipomas or sebaceous adenomas. Have a vet check the type and whether benign or malignant; benign ones can be locally removed, malignant ones need surgery, chemo, or palliative care.
My dog keeps coughing, worse at night than day, but eating/drinking/potty are normal
Coughing has many causes: upper respiratory infection, distemper, parasites, allergies, foreign objects. Upper respiratory includes colds, flu, parainfluenza, and kennel cough, often from poor care, malnutrition, or cold. Treatments differ; see a vet.
My cat had neuritis a year ago, no recurrence, but a week ago it collapsed and convulsed; CK was high and the vet said heart. Does neuritis raise CK
Feline neuritis can raise creatine kinase. Treat the primary disease; get further tests to find the cause. If it's heart-related, treat under vet guidance promptly, since high CK can cause muscle atrophy and nerve damage.
