My Cat Had Yellow Sticky Discharge at 8 PM Two Nights Ago, Nested at Midnight, Brown Discharge Last Night; When Will She Give Birth?
This likely shows waters broke around midnight; labor usually starts within half an hour to an hour. If no contractions after 2 hours, suspect dystocia and get checked. Prepare towels, pads, disinfectant, thread and scissors.
What Happens If a Dog Eats Cold Things?
A dog's sensitive stomach can react to cold food or drink with diarrhea, vomiting and bloating. Offer only small amounts of cold drink in heat, and see a vet if stomach upset appears.
My cat’s hind legs are paralyzed as if broken; is there any hope, can it heal on its own, and if treatable how much would it cost?
Hind-leg paralysis often comes from spinal injury, nerve damage, neuritis, stroke, or poor circulation; treatments and costs differ, and some injuries are incurable. Spinal injury from a fall may be treated with medication or physical therapy (about 1000-5000 yuan). Always get a vet exam to find the cause.
Why Does a Dog Suddenly Bark Loudly?
A dog may bark suddenly to warn of a perceived threat, to signal hunger, thirst or a wish to play, or because of pain or discomfort. Persistent pain warrants a prompt vet visit.
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.
My kitten vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
Why are my cat’s pupils different sizes?
From the photo, one eye likely has corneal damage or ulcer; get a vet ophthalmology exam and use corneal-repair medication. Corneal damage often comes from trauma, foreign objects, or infectious/parasitic disease; removing the cause lets it recover quickly.
My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.
French Bulldog: at first there was blood from the anus, then bloody stool in large amounts, and afterward it passed normal stool.
Heavy bloody stool suggests digestive tract bleeding from mucosal injury, likely colon scratches by a swallowed foreign object or hard food (bones, glass, etc.). Seek a vet promptly for hemostatics, anti-inflammatory, and infection control.
I found a kitten in the neighborhood and shone a UV light on it; almost its whole body glows green, and the glowing hairs are hard like new growth, but there are no bald patches and the undercoat is rough while the outer coat is smooth. Is it ringworm?
Under a Wood's lamp, ringworm-infected skin glows green; that suggests ringworm here. It is contagious to cats and humans, so isolate and wear gloves. Large areas need shaving and medicated baths; treatment is long and relapse-prone, so follow the vet's plan.
