Yes! Holiday definitely needs medical care ASAP! I can’t see the eye in the picture but there appears to be raw, likely infected skin cranial to the eyes, possibly draining discharge from an eye infection (hard to see the eye in this picture). Holiday could benefit from sedation, very careful clipping of the crusted fur on his face, cleaning of the raw skin with chlorhexidine, a topical antibiotic /steroid ointment for the skin +/- injectable Baytril, likely ophthalmic antibiotics for the eye and an e-collar to prevent scratching and further injury. Holiday is very cute…best wishes for a quick recovery!

This could be stressful to some pets, depending on their personality. I would suspect a prey-species such as a hamster would be more affected by the constant movement/change of scenery just because they may be more alert/aware of their surroundings. Whatever pet you decide to get, you will need an appropriate travel carrier to be sure the pet doesn't get loose in your car. Or even better, if your car is large enough to move the cage between the two households this may be easier on your pets so that the actual cage itself isn't changing regularly. Covering the cage with a dark sheet can be calming for some pets during travel, so they aren't alarmed by the light/noise on the trip.

Sully is adorable! Thanks for including a picture. I wish I could give you a simple answer to your question, but every animal is different and some require a combination of products. I would say that about 50% of the animals I try it with have a good response to Rescue Remedy, so that is often my first choice for cats (especially since it can just be added to the water). I have not used the other products, but both appear to have ingredients that could be used alone or in combination with Rescue Remedy. Don't forget that natural supplements are much more variable than medications and will not sedate, so they are sometimes not enough for a very anxious cat. I also recommend combining supplements with a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) or a Comfort Zone Diffuser ( https://www.comfortzone.com/ ) in your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-ca

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! She is so adorable! This is possibly due to allergies. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing her allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and new carbohydrate). If that does not seem to be the issue then you are left out having to check for environmental allergies which require blood and/o

Charlie is so cute! Congratulations! I always recommend looking into pet insurance. We do not have pet insurance but here are a few different companies that provide good insurance for your pet. I would call and get quotes from them and see what they cover. I would look at: Petplan: https://www.gopetplan.com Trupanion: https://trupanion.com/ppc/best-care3?gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To9J9FgDp4EL0J01sFWNjI8Qm67dr7ADIYKepw311YUFv5MPhMdRm2waAq6AEALw_wcB ASPCA: https://www.aspcapetinsurance.com/ppc-17/confident?prioritycode=PPC_Brand&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To-bMdYW5ztIL66GftIE-c0gaOLFG3xkvr8ezEFF76FLehYK8VBqiCUaApiHEALw_wcB#/start Figo: https://figopetinsurance.com/?&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To9S9Q2Esru6qbt3iNGDIJy-CPe8qDedVasCoG_bCBidClnU7ER2f7QaApukEALw_wcB Nationwide: https://www.petinsurance.com/ppc-dog.aspx?src=GoogleSearch&OM=CI0418&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl8rQBRDrARIsAEW_To9M0lSK4SC-sL_Ep_fX4tg3gIqXWBYUvksJUDWph2_olYZ572AP0SoaAnlgEALw_wcB Thank you for using Boop by
