School is starting soon and I may not be able to help with the delivery. I don’t know the due date—about how long until she gives birth?
A cat's gestation period is generally 60–65 days; some purebreds run a bit longer, with due dates around days 68–69 after mating. If you're unsure when she got pregnant, a vet ultrasound can confirm fetal development and an estimated due date.
My one-month-old guinea pig has a runny nose and sneezes but still eats well – how to treat it and what medicine?
A one-month-old guinea pig with sneezing and a runny nose likely has a respiratory infection from cold temperatures or dust. If it still eats and defecates normally, improve its environment first; only add medication if symptoms persist or worsen.
Used menthol oil (fengyoujing) then held her; fur got the smell, she licked it and may have ingested some, and the smell won’t go away — no obvious symptoms yet
A small amount of menthol oil ingested by a cat usually does not cause poisoning; just keep observing. The camphor and mint in it may cause rapid breathing or sneezing, and a large amount can irritate the stomach. Watch closely, give warm water, and see a vet if abnormal signs appear.
My hamster fell and is now bleeding from the nose, lying still with eyes shut—only breathing and heartbeat remain.
Based on your description, a hamster that fell from a height and shows a nosebleed, immobility, and closed eyes likely has internal injuries or broken bones. This is serious—take it to a vet promptly for examination and treatment.
It’s been about two months and tonight she suddenly started crying, rubbing against me, then stopped when I put her in her bed – is she about to give birth?
A cat's pregnancy is usually 61-63 days. If you're sure she's been pregnant about two months, these signs likely mean labor is near. Watch for mammary changes, restlessness, and rapid breathing, and prepare a quiet, comfortable nesting area.
The spot where I put the band-aid in the picture keeps leaking milky white fluid, like breast milk, and it won’t stop.
Constant discharge from a cat's belly is likely a deep wound infection, worsened by covering it with a band-aid. Fit an Elizabethan collar to stop licking and take the cat to a vet for cleaning and antibiotics, since a band-aid only traps the infection.
How to treat dog mouth ulcers?
Adjust diet, add vitamins, clean mouth, medicate. Provide light, easy-to-chew food; minor cases use oral spray and anti-inflammatories; severe or non-healing: see a vet.
What happens if an adult dog is not vaccinated?
An unvaccinated adult dog still has weak immunity and can catch distemper, parvovirus, rabies, or parainfluenza with high mortality. Adults are stronger than puppies, but vaccination is still essential to avoid these dangers.
What are the symptoms when a dog chokes on water?
Choking on water shows cough, breathing difficulty, drooling, and asthma; severe cases may suffocate. Hold the dog upside down at 45 degrees, pat the neck, then see a vet to check the lungs.
A month ago my dog stopped eating and pawed its eyes; the eye turned gray-blue, then after shots improved, but on walks it has yellow pus discharge; at night it would not return to the crate.
A white film over the eyeball is mainly from corneal injury, glaucoma, or cataract; with pus it is likely corneal injury from trauma or foreign body. See a vet and use special eye drops.
