My Younger 3 Year Old Cat Chunk Has Been Having Eye Discharge For A Few…
My younger 3 year old cat Chunk has been having eye discharge for a few months. He uses the bathroom just fine, eats just fine, seems to be playful and very aware. The discharge is predominantly in one eye although it happens in the other too. It is a brown / rusty red color that seeps from the inner tear ducts. His eye looks okay when you look up close but Im no DVM. (He has been tested for FIV as well as Herpes in prior checkups years ago and tested negative). He doesn’t sneeze, although he does breathe some what heavy but that could also be attributed to his Chunky frame (working on it). I’ve read several possibilities including herpes, conjunctivitis, and respiratory infection. I am hoping this is something that can be resolved through an ointment like terramycin? Any recommendations / suggestions / advice? Thank you!
*Also may be beneficial to note my other rescue Captain Hook has one eye. The non working eye is flipped backward and does not function. As a result that one eye has always had blackish discharge (not the same color as chunks nor does it come out in the same way as chunks). Our vet said this is normal for his eye condition, but just wanted to mention because perhaps could be related? Or no?
Disclaimer *My cats are indoor cats on a strict wet food diet. Chunk is 3 and Captain Hook is 7. I take them to the vet when needed. Their last general checkups were two years ago. I realize they need to go every year, but my cat Captain Hook had many many medical problems (bowel disorders) so thousands of dollars in care credit we try not to take them unless needed, especially since they are indoor.

Can someone Please help and advise. My 11month bulldog walter woke out of his sleep tonight and began an intense head bobbing movement- he seemed to be conscious i got him to follow me to his water bowl. This “episode” lasted maybe 3 or 4 mins i give him a small treat and he went back to sleep.. hes just woken and had another bobbing head episode. I read a few pages and give him a lick of sugar and he settled with me tickling his belly… has anyone dealt with this?? Im worried sick.

julie brader Hi Charlotte, I’m also in the UK …we answer questions on here from a lot of countries.
This episode with Walter needs Veterinary attention. We cannot diagnose on here but this could be anything from a seizure to a mini stroke to something lacking in his blood/diet…..and needs professional assessment to find out what is going on.
I hope Walter is ok and try to keep him calm and quiet until you can get him to a Vet later today hopefully. Good luck.

Anonymous i BELIEVE gastroenteritis is something a dog can survive but you need to change his diet drastically. what do you normally feed him? have you asked your vet what food you should be feeding?
-
Alexandra Cristian Stefan the food is royal canine ,i am relly worry for him i don’t want him to die,he is still in the vet clinic with the fluids
-
Alexandra Cristian Stefan yesterday he has surgery for the stomac to see if he has eating a toy or something not good,and he find out he has gastroenteritis thanks to talk with me
-
Anonymous hmm. that’s odd…i don’t believe Royal Canin should be causing gastroenteritis.
beyond this, i don’t know if I can help you. i am not a vet and i am not a nutritionist. but talk with the vet about what could have caused this and how to avoid it in the future.

Alexandra Cristian Stefan thanks so much i wish his to come back home i love him so much and i miss him

Anonymous i understand! he’s so young to be away from home!

Alexandra Cristian Stefan i dont want him to die
YES, SHE NEEDS A VET. urinating blood is VERY abnormal! he should also schedule her spay while there…
They don’t want her spayed they want her bred as they wish to keep some of the pups when she is of age (of course that would be after thorough veterinary examination and an all clear to go ahead with breeding) she plans to take her to the vets as soon as possible thank you very much for your feedback. Much appreciated
unless she came from parents who:
1 – are BOTH titled in something (AKC Ch, Obedience, Agility, Rally, etc.),
2 – are BOTH fully health tested to the specifics of the breed (almost none of which can be done in a normal vet’s office),
she should not be bred…and unless SHE is titled in at least one of the aforementioned venues, plus full health testing (which includes going to a cardiologist, an ophthalmologist, and OFA-certified vets for eyes, hips, elbows, thyroid), then she should not be bred. there are far too many bully mixes in shelters and rescue.
that they haven’t taken her to the vet yet makes me very, very worried that they aren’t going to do the rest. please, try to talk them into reconsidering, or at least finding a mentor in the breed who DOES show and work titled dogs.
and if they aren’t doing all of the above, their priorities are unethical at best.
I don’t own animals my self as I can’t where I live but this dogs owner is the most kind and loving person towards animals. This is however her first female dog as she had a german shepherd who lived to a ripe old age of 13 before passing away due to cancer so she knows what to do with animals and is not being “unethical at best”
unless she’s doing EVERYTHING i listed prior to breeding, her goals are suspect…which would make her an unethical breeder.
loving one’s dogs does not make one an ethical breeder. there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it, and the right way is expensive and requires an entire lifestyle change to focus on trialing and titling those dogs. it’s HARD to do it right.
A title doesn’t make a dog. I’d take a untitled mongrel over a titled purebred any day
so what happens when the dog ends up with a horrible temperament because the breeder didn’t title their dog(s) to prove they fit the standard of the breed? ethical breeders make a point to ensure they breed dogs that fit the standard…because predictability is exceedingly important, ESPECIALLY for working breeds. i have never known a person to put down a well bred purebred dog for temperament issues, but i’ve known LOTS of mutts and poorly bred dogs with significant unfixable temperament problems over the years.
what happens when someone dumps one of her puppies? an ethical breeder requires a puppy go back to them with a legally binding contract.
what happens when one of those puppies has a birth defect or something that could have been prevented through health testing? an ethical breeder tests annually to avoid preventable problems and will assist puppy buyers with birth defects and/or agree to take the puppy back and refund the buyer.
what happens when the puppy buyer has questions and concerns? an ethical breeder is there for the life of the dog.
i have NEVER met a mutt breeder who did these things. i have NEVER met a mutt breeder who actually cared where their puppies go, or care what happens once they’re sold. i’ve never met a mutt breeder who cared about keeping their puppies out of shelters.
have you been to a shelter? have you seen all the mutts there? if you want a mutt, GO TO A SHELTER. don’t continue to fund people who have no business breeding. please.
Pure breeds are more commonly in bred and most likely to have health problems. Cross breeds were bred for the genetic benefits that come with it ie no/less health problems.
Yes I have been to shelters.
Yes I have worked in kennels.
I have experience with many different types of animals.
But temperament isn’t just bred in to a dog. It is about your environment and their surroundings. Even the nicest and most easy going of dogs from the highest quality breeder can turn bad if brought up in the wrong environment. And a cross breed who’s raised in the right environment will havr a wonderful temperament perfect behaviour and be a perfect dog. It’s not just the dog it’s the owner aswell.
I personally would get a shelter dog not as my first dog but I would get one. Or a rescue dog or any animal many many animals…… However I would want to spend time with the animal first to see if we bond and to check them out see if they are friendly with me etc
i’m referring to ethical, reputable breeders who do thorough pedigree research. it’s easy as hell to avoid inbreeding.
though the shelter system never sees these dogs – they never enter the system due to the contracts in place to protect those dogs. those breeders always take those dogs back, regardless of age or reason for return.
support ethical breeding and support shelters. do not support people who intentionally mix breeds or don’t bother doing the most basic things (titling their breeding stock to prove they should be bred, full health testing, full pedigree research). it’s pretty simple, really.
