Has anyone dealt with bumps like this on their pittie? They started popping up a couple days ago; I thought it was just a bug bite or two at first, but now she has over a dozen all over her body, but mostly on her legs. They didn’t seem to bother her too much at first, but she started scratching and nibbling on them yesterday.
I DO have a vet appointment tonight, just trying to get some insights beforehand.
My cat has these leisons on her. 3 vets have looked and don't know what they are! Any ideas?
Started on Monday night — 7 week old kitten was constipated, had some poop hanging out his butt so I put his lower half in warm water to get things moving.. Succeeded, was drying him off, he started licking himself and hair started coming off easily.
At first I thought maybe it was dried wet food, despite syringe feeding him so I knew it wasn’t super messy… but no. In a matter of maybe 10 minutes, he licked all the fur off one of his paw fingers.
Contacted shelter via email, shelter said bring him in anytime, so I brought him to the shelter and the vet was currently in surgery. I had to leave him there but figured my email would be relayed.
Went to pick up later that day, staff said the vet gave him a checkup, dewormer and a bath — He’s been pretty snotty due to a URI so not surprised, but the vet did not comment on his hair loss (or constipation/straining). Got home and he’s lost even more hair, on his legs and belly. He’s still licking hair off now, but he’s not scaly at all.
I will be calling to see, the vet had already left for the day so maybe her diagnosis/thoughts weren’t written down, but does this sound familiar to anyone?
(Last photo cat tax, about 5-6 weeks old, pre-hair fallout)
Edit: his medical history is as follows:
He was found on August 4th about 5-6 weeks old. Vet gave him a flea med and dewormer. Went to the vet on Monday and Friday last week, recieved sub-q fluids both times for dehydration due to upper respiratory infection. On Monday was prescribed 0.25ml of Albon for 9 days in case he had Coccidia due to experiencing pudding-like stool. On Friday he was given antibiotics to prevent secondary infection. I given an oral syringe of liquid vitamins, maple syrup consistency to administer to him over 3-5 days. He was also switched to baby food on Friday night, and his stool started becoming solid instantly. Then he was dewormed again yesterday.
I have done some research and I believe he might have a uti due to him never having done this before. I cannot afford vet care currently I give him wet food and am planning on being more careful with his water is there anything else I can do to help him/treat him? should i stop giving him dry food is there any type of food that can help him out or over the counter meds? I will be able to take him to a clinic within a week just need something to help him now!
Help! My little orange Marmalade has developed a “hot spot” looking wound. She is otherwise healthy and living among 3 other cats. Google results say this is likely an allergic reaction to something. The other cats are unaffected. Has anyone seen anything like this before? How is it treated? Is there an OTC medication that would alleviate any uncomfortable sensation she’s experiencing?
I will be going to the vet about this, however, I’d like some advice and peace of mind that this is not an emergency. Additionally if there is a way to make her more comfortable while we wait for our appointment.
I am currently trying to take my cat in to the vet’s right now, but I want to know if her gums seem pale or if it’s just her natural color?
For context, she is a 4 year old flame point Siamese, and for the last couple days she’s been having loose stools. Today it’s full blown diarrhea. She’s also had this look on her face for the last few days, like she’s out of it, and her third eyelid is visible when she’s just… sitting and staring at nothing.
Thanks in advance.
I took my dog out on a walk and she started sniffing/biting at some fox tails I realized. She started sneezing aggressively for like 10-15 seconds, i didn’t see a foxtail actually in her nose or anything, but she eventually stopped— there was a little tiny bit of blood which concerns me, we got back home and she has only sneezed twice and has been running around acting normal, no more bleeding etc— I don’t know if i should keep an eye on her or take her to the emergency vet.
any tips?
What are these white paws should i be worried or its genetic?
I know this is not a real vet question, just figured i might still ask. could anyone explain why my cat uses the box this weirdly? his head and front legs are outside, he does this everytime he uses the litter box. Is this just an odd preference, or could it indicate that the litter box is uncomfortable for him or that something is bothering him physically? he's 9 years old, took him from a shelter when he was little if thats relevant. sorry for the far away photo, didnt want to disturb him while he's doing his business lol
My dog has an appointment with the vet tomorrow, so I will get this checked out while we are there, but does anyone know what this could be? Is it ringworm? It’s on her belly. I just noticed it a few hours ago
I noticed today one of my bfs farm cats had a really swollen back paw. I did try to spray it down with a vet approved soap for wounds. Her paw started bleeding even though we didn’t touch it or put pressure on it at all. She is limping and not putting any weight on it. My boyfriend’s family won’t pay for the vet and I just took another farm cat to the vet last week so money is tight. I did bring her home so she doesn’t walk around the dirty shop and keeps her paw clean. Does this look like a broken toe, or something else. What can I do for her she is in pain. I’m going to call the vet tomorrow and see if I can get her some antibiotics and pain meds without having to bring her in but I doubt it. Advice is welcome
So my cat, while she goes crazy at night, has gotten into the habit of being lazy even when she play hunts. She gets MEAN right before dinner. To burn extra energy and make dinner a chase reward I’ve started opening the can and then running away from her, then lifting it to her cat tree and back down a few times. She mews of course and her tail gets poffy. Then she eats. She hasn’t swated at me or anything. Is this bad for her? Or abuse?
My vet told me it’s better to not keep my cats open wound uncovered, but what the hell, that doesn’t make any sense to me
She is walking everywhere on her paws and it would be easier to get infected that way
But I was told that it’s better to keep it “dry” and uncovered so that it doesn’t stay moist…that covering it up would cause an infection
Can someone tell me if I’m over reacting !!

I have not contacted a vet yet
My cat ripped off his nail about a week ago it bleed a bit but I searched and as long as there’s no pus or profuse bleeding or complaints it said he will be okay, I have been keeping it clean and now it looks a bit weird so i wanted to see if anyone knew if this is part of the healing or if he needs medical attention
Cat is 14 months old he is neutered and I cannot realistically afford vet care
My sister has a 10 month old German shepherd. Since he got him (he was about 5 months old) I noticed that he walked funny. He’s super wobbly, and seems to lean to one side kinda like he needs an alignment (lol car talk).
She seems to think nothing is wrong and isn’t concerned but I’ve never seen a dog walk like this.
What are your thoughts?
I just noticed this soft mass near the base of my dog’s tail. It is about an inch long and is covered in fur except for the end of it. It is not red or inflamed and there is nothing leaking from it. I’m calling the vet first thing tomorrow morning, but I can’t seem to find anything on the internet that looks like this. Any ideas?
Urgent !!! What’s happening to my hamster ?? She has this red thing under her mouth and I’m frisking out . She’s my first animal and I had her for over a month. I noticed it yesterday but I thought it was just a scratch and wold disappear but instead it doubled in size . I googled what could be and that didn’t help cause they say it may be just a infection or a tumor and I’m scared .please if anyone has gone trough this and now’s what to do please help . I will try and find an exotic veterinarian to go to but they aren’t many in my country . I hope it’s nothing but again I’m a beginner with animal and so is my family .
it’s already been two weeks which is when my vet said she should be healed but i can’t tell if it looks okay or not because this is my first time and im scared something is wrong and i dont know. It had like scabs before but just now she licked them off and now it looks like this so i dont know if something is wrong or if she is healed and im being paranoid. I’ve had her enclosed in a cage throughout the whole recovery and in the cone the whole time she never struggled so im just wondering if anyone that has experienced this could tell me if it looks okay i already emailed my vet but the never got back to me.
Cat had pancreatitis a month ago which healed, she developed breathing issues such as fast breaths and sounded congested 2 weeks into pancreatitis diagnosis, brought her in for a Xray few days ago for breathing and they see her rib cartilage is broken and looks like some lung inflammation. Vet says if this is not caused by trauma then it may be cancer. Can anyone help out has anyone experienced something similar??
