My dog keeps vomiting yellow water with blood and won’t eat anything
Persistent vomiting of yellow water with blood is mainly considered from intestinal foreign bodies, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral infection — all damage the gut and cause bleeding. If spirits and appetite are good and stools normal, try gut-regulating medicine. If no relief or the dog is weak, get a detailed vet exam.
Lethargic, dry nose, not eating, drinks little, keeps lying down, vomited once with white foam
From your description, lethargy, dry nose, lying down, and vomiting mean the dog is sick — get a vet exam to confirm the cause. Focus on ruling out distemper; if infected, use interferon and monoclonal antibodies plus oral antibiotics to prevent secondary infection and for symptomatic care.
Could there be a problem after falling from about 1 meter? It eats and walks fine but is a bit scared, jumps at small movements—it wasn’t like this before; after a while it looked a bit better. Is there a problem?
Hamsters are small with fine bones; a 1m fall can fracture, even internal bleeding. Timid ones may be frightened or pass out. If no obvious abnormality, rest in cage, avoid strenuous activity, add nutrition, see if it recovers. If obvious abnormalities, see vet.
There are hard spots behind the neck and under the hips, and the nose keeps sneezing.
From the photo, the cat may have a respiratory infection and ringworm. Eye/nose discharge suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis; the crusts and dandruff on the neck suggest ringworm. Kittens have weak immunity. Use antifungal cream for ringworm; see a vet for the respiratory signs, and if it's rhinotracheitis, add lysine.
What should I watch out for with a puppy’s enlarged heart?
An enlarged heart is basically incurable; give the prescribed medication on schedule (based on symptoms), and supplement vitamins and nutrition to ease signs. Limit activity, avoid intense exercise and fright (which burden the heart). Take it for regular vet check-ups so the condition isn't missed.
Its eye is injured
Hello, from the photo you uploaded, the cat is preliminarily judged to have uveitis. It is recommended to take the cat to a veterinary clinic for an ophthalmic examination and to start effective treatment promptly. If feline uveitis is not treated in time, it can worsen and lead to necrosis of the eye. Uveitis may be spontaneous or related to a systemic disease, so the cat needs a careful examination to determine the best treatment plan.
It first threw up undigested food once, then kept foaming at the mouth and has vomited six or seven times.
Foaming vomit is likely from overeating and indigestion. Fast it for a while and give pet probiotics to ease the gut. Watch for improvement; if vomiting continues or other signs like lethargy appear, see a vet for targeted treatment.
My kitten has large-scale hair loss; a small clinic said ringworm and gave cream, but now it won’t eat, lies in the bathroom, moves slowly, is listless with dull eyes—is it from licking the medicine?
Ringworm treatment uses antifungals (terbinafine, compound ketoconazole, itraconazole) that irritate gut and liver/kidneys; licking causes lethargy, vomiting, appetite loss. See a vet to reduce organ damage; use an E-collar during treatment.
My dog has a protruding flesh ball at the vulva
From the photo, it may be uterine prolapse or a vulvar tumor—serious. See a vet promptly; medication won't fix it, surgery needed. If prolapse, rinse with saline first to avoid licking/dirt and infection, then get sutures/fixation at the vet.
How to treat a flesh-like lump in a hamster’s ear
A lump in a hamster's ear may be from tissue overgrowth, a tumor, or infection. A pink ball may be a polyp (surgically removed and disinfected); a small ball from bacteria may be an abscess (apply anti-inflammatory medicine); a tumor needs vet evaluation by type.
