Our 14 month old male gerbil lost part of his tail about a year ago. This left a small black spot part way up the remaining stump on one side. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that it had got bigger. It doesn’t seem to bother him at all and he not lethargic or unwell. What could it be?

About 2 months ago, my dog broke the window screen and jumped out of the second floor window. I was not home and thankfully my neighbor grabbed him, he was not hurt. After that. No opening the windows when I’m not home.
But recently my dog has been trying to escape out the window where the window AC unit is in. He has chewed through many sidings and even pushes my tv away from the window. I have sprayed no-bite spray and it didn’t seem to help. I just can home today and found blood from him all over the house. He cut his paw on the ac unit and thenot continued to tried other windows.
I take him for walks twice a day even though I am gone for 10 hours for work. I spoil him with toys and treats. He is a 4 year old German Shepherd/schipperke mix. He is not fixed. He never shows any interest in females.

and would that help him or would it kill him we have started to give him some pedialight because he will not eat or drink and i was just wondering what i could do
My cat has decided not to pooh in the litter box. Do you have a list of things that could cause this?
My cats always choke on hairballs in their throats (without vomiting) so I would prefer (if available online/in your local store) a dry cat food brand that eliminates/controls the hairballs in my cats’ throats in addition to the food being completely FREE of BY-PRODUCTS because 2 of my 3 cats have suffered from Meow-Mix (which contains by-products).

Anonymous Unfortunately, we don’t really know what’s available in Turkey. Can you give us a list of what you can get there?

Zaid Kilani Sorry if I startled you but I’m only visiting Turkey for this month (I actually live in Jordan) but I’m willing to order/ship cat food online because the available foods in Jordan are Meow Mix, Le Chat and Royal Canin. I’ve tried all these (both the wet and dry food versions) and my cats never seemed to like them.
My cat got his hip popped back into place after dislocating it and is in a lot of pain, causing him to avoid eating and drinking. I have gotten him to eat a bit, but still can’t get him to drink anything. We have had them for 9 years now and have only ever given them water to drink. Would it be dangerous if I tried giving him a little bit of milk even though he has never had it and is going about 24 hours now without any liquids?
Hello. I adopted my 12 year old cat yesterday around 8:00 pm, he hasn’t peed or pooped since then. But he is still eating regularly and drinking a bowl a day, also he is still his affectionate self. Should I be worried??

Brittany Foltice Has he tried using the bathroom by going in the litter box but nothing is coming out?
-
Brittany Foltice I would say that if it has been a while since he has used the bathroom, your best bet is to consult a vet. If he has tried but failed to use the bathroom, there could be some sort of blockage preventing them from using the bathroom. I know with one of my 9 year old cats, he wasn’t able to use the bathroom, and after a bit he would scream in pain when trying. Turned out that he had crystalized urine, very painful but easily treatable with some antibiotics. But even if he doesn’t seem to be trying to use the restroom, it would still be a good idea to consult a vet if it has been a few days simply because if he is drinking and eating normally, it needs to eventually come back out. Better to check early and be all good than to be too late to do anything.
He Was 3 Years Old, In Perfectly Good Health
After His…
My cat’s name is Tootie
He was 3 years old, in perfectly good health
After his death I’ve done about 5 hours of research for the cause of his death but couldn’t find any answers:(
He had a heavy cold a week prior to his death but the vet told me that there was nothing to worry about, I hope this info helps and RIP Tootie.

Anonymous I’m so sorry, Zaid. Unfortunately, without a necropsy, there’s no real way to know what caused his death.
-
Zaid Kilani Thank you for giving your time to read my question but the problem is that my family members are not keen on the idea of a specialist performing a necropsy on Tootie as we already gave him a proper grave…..
Can his death be due to heartworms?
Because the symptoms/signs of a heartworm being present in a cat’s body are compatible with the behavior of my cat and I forgot to add that we recently sent him to the vet due to tens of flea and mosquito bites (the main transmitters of heartworms between cats). -
Anonymous I doubt heartworms would have been THAT bad THAT quickly.
My cat was taken into the vet yesterday at around 4pm to get checked for a UTI as she has been having some urinary incontinence. We were sent home with Buprenorphine and Maropitant(cerenia) 24mg 4PK For Pain and Nausea.. Since we have been home she has not been wanting to move much or use her hind legs.. when I fed her food she ate it but I am unsure if she has had much water since the fluids the vet gave her.
Is there a reason she is not wanting to use her back legs much and is sitting on her side instead of her butt?

Chelsea McCrone Hi Krista,
I did call our local 24 hour emergency hospital and they said to monitor her for any signs of severe lethargy since her appointment yesterday she has seemed fine.. but when I got back home I noticed that she was not normal and was not sitting or using her back legs properly.
Will continue to monitor her until tomorrows appointment. Do you think it could be because she is in pain?
-
Chelsea McCrone Okay will do, Thank you so much!
-
Chelsea McCrone One more thing. Would you suggest me to give her some plain chicken broth and rice until her appointment in the morning or shall I continue to feed her her normal cat food?
-
Chelsea McCrone Okay I will pick some up after her Urinary Analysis tomorrow morning… Thank you again Krista!
What to do to a puppy with pus on some parts of her body?
I had a gerbil that got cancer and it started with a black spot on its back and it spread all over. Nothing you can really do about it if it is cancer. When you say it lost part of its tail are you saying you had it removed, or it just fell off? You will have to take it to a vet and they will tell you if it needs to be cut off and biopsy of the black part. It also could be other things besides cancer but only a vet can really help you. It could be an infection and need antibiotics. Please take it to a vet.
He got his tail caught and panicked, and it broke away, they are designed to do that. It’s not an infection, it’s a nice neat, round smooth bump on the side of his tail. I have emailed photos to my vet, waiting to hear whether he wants me to take him down to see him.
