My 4-Month-Old Corgi Just Started a Runny Nose – What Should I Do?

Shaving needs patience: let the cat hear the clipper first, then clip slowly, checking for cuts. Stop if stressed, trim tricky spots with scissors, then bathe and dry.
My turtle is sometimes agitated, sometimes still, with weak limbs, open mouth, and won’t eat turtle food—what’s wrong?

A turtle I’ve raised for about a year recently stopped eating for ten days, with red chin and occasional white film over the eyes
A white film over the eyes is likely white-eye disease. Treat with medicated baths and dry-docking; apply chloramphenicol or ofloxacin drops or erythromycin ointment early, and keep dry except during baths. Severe cases need systemic antibiotics and draining.
My turtle has a soft shell, won’t eat, is sluggish, and is losing weight.
A soft turtle shell can stem from lack of sunlight, vitamin D deficiency, or dirty water. Limited light reduces vitamin D synthesis and calcium absorption; a calcium-poor diet also causes deficiency. Let the turtle sunbathe, add vitamin D powder to its food, and keep the habitat clean.
