My Hamster Has a Lump on Its Neck – What Could It Be?
A neck lump may be swollen lymph nodes, an allergic reaction to external parasites, or a post-injury cyst. Have a vet examine it to decide medication or surgery. Also, too much high-calorie food causes internal heat and neck lumps - avoid overfeeding calories.

My Cat Is a Stray I Adopted in March 2022; Never Vaccinated or Neutered. Now That It Sprays and Yowls and There’s a Toddler at Home, Is It Too Late to Vaccinate Then Neuter? Will It Still Spray After Neutering? Higher Risk of Feline Panleukopenia After Neutering?
For safety, it is best to vaccinate and build immunity before neutering, since immunity dips afterward and infection risk rises. Even without vaccination, a health check is required before the procedure. Have a vet examine the cat first, then follow their advice.
My cat has been tearing and blinking a lot since I asked in February – is it serious?
Based on the photo, your cat likely has a chalazion from inflammation or third-eyelid hyperplasia. Use anti-inflammatory eye drops, or seek surgery if it is the third eyelid.
My 3.5-year-old Pomeranian swallowed a glass marble at 10:30 this morning and has no reaction yet—any way to pass it?
After swallowing a glass marble, try a gentle lubricant or lactulose to ease passage and boost motility; also feed fiber (pumpkin, cabbage, sweet potato). Watch 2–3 days; if it passes, then support gut recovery. If constipated or can't pass it, consider surgery.
