Hi! I’ve recently adopted a kitten from a family member. The kitten previously belonged to a child, and has a round hairless mark on her front paw. The child has been known to recklessly play with lighters, and I’m unsure if I’m right to think that he (the child) had possibly burned the kitten, or if the kitten has some type of infection. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Can 1 dog get an ear infection from another dog? She didn’t have an ear infection 3 days ago when I took her to the vet. That day I let her mother come over & spend the night for a play date & she has ear infections in both ears & 1 is really bad. The owner doesn’t take care of the mother like I do my dogs. BJ’s has a tendency to get ear infections so I have medicated wash & a RX on hand for her. I wash her ears out once a week, but this morning her ear is red and she’s scratching it. I started her redgiment again & put her cone collar on so she doesn’t scratch.

I wouldn’t be thinking this if she hadn’t just seen her vet for her 6 months check up and nothing was wrong with her ears.

My dog had an ear infection that lasted for 3 months about 9 months ago. She went back 6 months ago for some more meds & got rid of it then. She’s 14 months old and a Corkie

Why is my 3 month old kitten having frequent erections? It just started today but his penis has been sticking out alot.

My cat all this week she has been plump and the kitten(s) have been moving around a lot. However, today, all of a sudden, she is thinner – Is everything okay? She’s acting strange and still in dire need of attention.

Took my dog for a walk and she got termite all over how do I get rid of them? And are they harmful?

My boxer had his eye removed a few years ago due to an unfortunate accident. The place where it was sewn up (where his eye used to be) is swollen and kind of tender. I’m thinking maybe he bumped his eye but I want to be sure.

When he has free rein of the house, he’s even peed in his food bowl. He doesn’t care. He pooped on his bed in his crate so now has no bed. Doesn’t matter how long he’s in there. We originally tried to leave him in the big hall on tile so we could clean it up but it was such a mess and he chewed through a baby gate and tore up a door. I refuse to give up on him but don’t know what to do. His crate is appropriate size and I don’t put his food and water with him.

Towards the end of my dogs phantom pregnancy I noticed she was itching her top left nipple quite a bit. I automatically checked for fleas as you do when you see a dog itching and no sign of any. Knowing I had recently given her flea treatment it was probably unlikely to be fleas so I’ve just kept an eye on it checking her everyday.
It does’t seem to be bothering her too much but she had caught her nipple from itching and caused it to look a bit sore.
I am unsure if it is related to the phantom pregnancy as I haven’t noticed her to itch anywhere else on her body other than that particular nipple and her phantom pregnancy symptoms seemed to be worse this time round, she did produce quite a bit of milk. I want to know if i can do anything to help?

not eating and becoming week

My kitten is around 10-12 weeks old now (last measured weight a few days ago is 2.6 lbs).
She usually eats a mix of dry and wet kitten food.

Two days ago, we introduced only dry food for her to nibble around and also giving her the wet and dry mix. But she’s eating very less of the wet and dry food (but I know she’s occasionally nibbling on the dry because we leave it out). I’m a new pet owner and concerned that maybe she’s not fulfilling the daily quota of calories. Also, the weather has suddenly been very rainy in the previous 2 days so she has been sleeping a lot but very active after she’s woken up. I’ve called the vet but he says as long as she’s active and eating a spoonful of dry at a time, she’s fine. Need help.
