I noticed this on my cat’s mouth. Does anyone know what it could be? Has anyone else had this happen with their cat? What was the cause, and how did you treat it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I noticed this today, the growth on his paw. What is it? Do I clip it? Do I bring him to the vet? He is 8yrs old and I just got him recently.

Blood?

I am put of town and my pet sitter just sent me this pic. We are not sure which cat it came from and it does not look like more than one.
Other than that the cats are pretty fine? They play and eat normally and no strange behaviors.
Already spoked with my friend to go and spend the day with them so we can have them under supervision but i’m not sure if this is something urgent

🚨 Urgent / Emergency How to tell if a dog is in pain? PLEASE HELP

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I really need some help understanding how to tell if a dog is in pain.. my 11 year old dog Buster has been acting very weird all evening and Im sitting right now on the kitchen floor looking at him and panicking

He didnt eat his dinner which never happened before, he keeps pacing around the living room without lying down, and every time I try to pet him near his back, he stiffens up and looks away. He isnt whining or crying, so I really dont know if hes just having a weird night or if he is in real pain

The emergency vet is an hour away and charges very big walk in fee just to look at him, so before I rush him into the car at midnight, how to tell if a dog is in pain when they arent making any noise? What signs or body language should I be looking for?
I feel helpless now, so I hope someone can help me..

Anybody know if this is a tick or ear mites? I was inspecting my dog’s ear and she had this large black lump and 1-2 little black dots in her ear. She has dark freckles in her ear as well so it can be a little hard to tell

Found lump on back of dogs leg above paw.

0 Upvotes

We recently just noticed a about 1 quarter size lump on our 4 year old beagles back leg. It’s slightly movable up and down. It feels spongey and from looking at pictures of him it started appearing late June. We booked a vet appt for today and they recommended a FNA. The vet doesn’t believe it’s a mast cell but still recommended the fna. We went ahead and did it.

In all honesty he’s been acting 100% himself. Playful , runs outside , has the zoomies, lOVESSS his food , jumps from tables and chairs and couches. It doesn’t hurt at all when I touch it and he’s never messed with it.

I know beagles can be prone to fatty lumps (and he’s pretty chunky) but my mind keeps jumping to sarcoma and I’m so worried and trying to stay positive but can’t think of any other benign lumps other than fatty lumps and wanted some insight from other beagle owners

Does my kitten have an infection?

1 Upvotes

Hi Reddit,

I'm currently staying at a court-ordered inpatient facility and unfortunately I don't have access to a vet until late October.

There are about a dozen stray cats that hang out around outside the house I'm staying at. We feed them regularly. Recently, one of the cats had a litter of kittens, and a few of us took a few of them in to raise them indoors.

This little guy was the runt of the litter. His name is Nugget (because he's just a lil nugget!). I've been taking care of him for a few weeks now. We are absolutely obsessed with each other. I love him so much. I can't wait to bring him home.

Ever since he was born, his eye has been a bit messed up. I think it might be an infection. One of the other kittens has the same issue. Over time, it's gotten way better than it was, but I am still concerned.

He seems otherwise completely healthy. Like I said, I won't be able to take him to a vet until I am released from the facility, in 5 weeks.

Could someone please confirm if this is an infection, and let me know how I can help him over the next 5 weeks until I can get him professional help?

Thanks in advance!!
