Two-month-old kitten has diarrhea and poor appetite; after Milbemax today it became sleepy with white sticky discharge
Diarrhea and poor appetite in a kitten can stem from indigestion, gastroenteritis, foreign objects, or food intolerance. A two-month-old's gut is fragile, so feed easily digestible food, fast half a day, and use probiotics; if it persists, see a vet.
Dog ate a small mango pit last night, now vomiting food then yellow fluid, used hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, now foaming, very weak and listless
Swallowing a mango pit can cause intestinal blockage. If the dog cannot pass or vomit it and shows symptoms, see a vet; an X-ray locates it, and endoscopy or surgery may be needed to remove it. After removal, feed easily digestible food and water.
Hamster fell about 1 meter, now has red-purple skin under nose, a little blood at mouth, energetic but trembles and breathes rapidly at times
Trembling and rapid breathing after a fall may be from fright or internal injury, with internal injury being likely from a 1-meter drop. Seek a veterinary exam promptly; if only fright or pain, anti-inflammatory pain relief, good nutrition, and a quiet environment help recovery.
I saw it go to the litter box several times in one night, passing yellow jelly-like transparent stuff, and it won’t let me touch its belly
From the photo, the cat has diarrhea. Causes include bad diet, stress, intestinal parasites, enteritis. Withhold food briefly, give pet probiotics, and watch. If it continues or shows other signs, see a vet for targeted treatment.
What medicine should I give a dog with rectal inflammation?
For rectal inflammation, use a pet-specific oral anti-inflammatory plus a gut-mucosa repair medication, and manage the diet per vet advice. Ordinary enteritis usually clears in 3–5 days; if viral, antiviral treatment plus symptom relief is needed.
Please help — home for two days, lots of eye discharge, constant tearing, not eating (only occasional water), hiding, won’t let me touch or wipe, sneezing, normally purrs
From the symptoms this is likely a respiratory disease, possibly feline rhinotracheitis. Get a vet exam and targeted treatment. A common cold needs cat cold medicine plus warmth; a viral disease needs antiviral and symptomatic care.
A one-week-old kitten suddenly started opening its mouth and crying and kicking its legs for no reason, and the umbilical area keeps bleeding (because it was cut a bit short)
If a newborn kitten is bleeding because the umbilical cord was cut too short, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. If pressure doesn't work, inject a hemostatic drug and apply a powdered anti-inflammatory hemostatic medication locally, then bandage — for example, crush pet-specific amoxicillin clavulanate into powder and apply it for its anti-inflammatory effect. During this time, watch the mother cat and don't let her lick the kitten's wound. If the kitten's symptoms don't ease or other abnormal symptoms appear, take it to a vet promptly.
What does normal puppy urine look like?

What medicine should I apply after a tick bites my dog?
Use a pet-specific topical parasite treatment to remove ticks. For a few ticks, dab alcohol to numb it, then pull it out with tweezers by the mouthparts and disinfect with iodine. Watch for fever or inflammation and see a vet if needed.
