Is it good for a dog with a fracture to eat bones?
A fracturing dog can supplement calcium, but bones are not recommended — hard to digest, so they barely help and may block the gut, causing pain and constipation. For calcium, use bone broth, dried shrimp, soy products, or pet calcium tablets. Proper calcium aids bone recovery, but the fracture itself needs casting or surgery at a vet.
One eye is often squinted with a cloudy pupil, but he eats, drinks and uses the litter fine — is it cataracts? He’s only six months old.
A white cloudy pupil in a rabbit is usually cataracts or keratitis, both serious and hard to tell apart, needing a professional eye exam (slit lamp, eye pressure, retina, lens, tears). Cataracts are abnormal lens clouding blocking light to the retina, seen in seniors but also congenital in young rabbits; severe cases need surgery.
What are the symptoms of glaucoma in cats?
Feline glaucoma shows dilated pupils, protruding eyeball, tearing, cloudy cornea, red sclera, and reduced vision, with strong pain making the cat quieter and hiding. See a vet promptly to avoid worsening; treatment varies from medication to surgery.
Why does my hamster have pus-filled bumps on its skin?
Pus-filled skin bumps in hamsters may be caused by trauma, bacterial infection, or internal heat. If the skin is cut by something sharp or injured in a fight and the wound becomes infected, an abscess can form. Clean and disinfect the area and apply antibacterial medication, or seek veterinary care for drainage or surgery if severe.
How to Dock a Two-Month-Old Rottweiler’s Tail?

What Medication Works Best for Cat Bladder Stones?
Medication for cat bladder stones depends on stone size and severity. Mild cases may use cephalosporin or penicillin anti-inflammatories plus a diuretic; large stones or urinary blockage need veterinary ultrasound lithotripsy or surgery.
What should I do if a cat’s eye is injured?
From the photo the eye injury looks serious; seek a vet promptly to prevent blindness. Severe cases may need surgery or even removal. Keep an Elizabethan collar on until healed to stop scratching.
My male hamster’s testicles seem broken; there was poop stuck underneath today, and more appeared shortly after cleaning. Are the testicles ruptured or what? Why does stool keep coming out from there?
First wipe to see if it is just bedding feces, which only needs cleaning and disinfection. Distinguish whether stool comes from the scrotum or the anus; scrotal discharge suggests a cyst rupture or a fistula. Both require prompt veterinary debridement or suture surgery.
My cat’s hind leg is turned outward, painful when touched, won’t bear weight, cries. How to treat, and what does it cost?
Likely a fracture—needs prompt vet care. X-ray to assess bone state, then external or internal fixation. External: locate break via X-ray, set without surgery, splint. Internal: surgery. Cost varies by severity; surgery usually a few thousand RMB, depending on location/severity/method.
Why does a cat’s eyelid turn inward (entropion)?
Many causes—congenital (genetics, birth eye disease, mutation causing malformed eye structure) or acquired (viral/bacterial infection, facial nerve abnormality causing muscle laxity). Correctable by surgery—take to a vet promptly.
