Does my dog’s lower-abdomen lump need to be removed?
If you find a lump on the lower abdomen, take the dog to a vet to determine the tumor type. A malignant tumor needs active treatment, as spread and metastasis will seriously harm health. Do not take it lightly; get it checked and treated promptly.
My dog ate about 5 or 6 grapes, then vomited a dozen times and is now listless
If a dog vomits after eating grapes, take it to a vet promptly. Grapes are quite toxic to dogs and can cause acute kidney failure. Vomiting lowers the risk but a check-up is still advised; if creatinine and BUN are high and the dog is weak, hemodialysis may be needed.
What should I do if my dog is pooping blood?
From the photo you provided, it appears your dog is passing blood in its stool.

Withhold food and water immediately and take your dog to a veterinary hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
Why are my cat’s eyes red, swollen and watery?
Swollen, watery eyes in cats can have many causes, such as foreign-body irritation, keratitis, conjunctivitis, or feline herpesvirus. Herpesvirus infection often brings tearing and sneezing. If you suspect herpesvirus, have your cat examined by a vet; conjunctivitis or keratitis can be treated with pet-specific eye drops.

My cat lost appetite (won’t even eat favorite treats), eyes watery and barely open, sleeps all day
Poor appetite and tearing may mean an eye problem—infection, allergy, or injury. Check for trauma; if none, consider infection or inflammation. Irritating smells in the environment may also cause it. Feline rhinotracheitis is possible; if it persists, see a vet soon.
Why is my rabbit vomiting and losing appetite?
Rabbit vomiting and poor appetite can come from eating too much or too fast, digestive infection, or parasites. If from spoiled food, withhold food 12-24 hours then feed easily digestible food. If uncertain, see a vet.
What should I do if my cat has refused food for two days?
From the photo the cat looks very unwell and is refusing food, likely ill. Long fasting without water easily causes dehydration and health problems. Causes include respiratory, digestive, or food issues—see a vet promptly for diagnosis and targeted treatment.
My unweaned kitten won’t eat, was weak at the owner’s, improved at mine, but relapsed and is unsteady today
Poor spirit and an unsteady stance in an unweaned kitten are usually from malnutrition or anemia, or a cold causing weakness and appetite loss. Unweaned kittens need only milk or goat milk—increase feeding amount and frequency if underfed. If it refuses food, see a vet.
