Hello and thank you for contacting Boop by Petco. You need to monitor your Tinker Bell over the next 24-48hrs. Do not give her any laxative and do not change her diet. The symptoms of gastrointestinal foreign body include vomiting, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, lack of stools. If you see any of these symptoms in the next 48hrs, please take Tinker Bell to your vets as an emergency. If after 48hrs she is well and will have not developed any of these symptoms, it will mean that she is out of danger.

my cat has been having a problem with his eyes and has been prescribed both neopoly dex ophthalmic ointment and ofloxacin ophthalmic solution can you mix them or is one better than th eother?
Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear about your kitty. I'm assuming the vet who prescribed these did a corneal eye stain to make sure the surface of the eyes were not damaged. You can place the drops in the eyes as directed and then wait about 15 minutes and follow with the ointment. Great question.

I had a stray small cat who had eye problem took care of her few days with out letting her near my dogs then someone adopted her. She’s gone now but my dogs went to sniff around where she was staying and i noticed my dog’s left eye have this central
Hello and thank you for contacting Boop by Petco. It looks like a corneal ulcer, I suspect Rex was scratched by the kitten. Please, do not use steroids as they are contraindicated in corneal wounds. Antibiotics eye drops is a much better idea. Please, call one of your local vets that is open and get the advise on what antibiotics eye drops are available in your country.

I’ve taken my dog to the vet for this before and they said it was due to allergies, so they prescribed medicine for her eye, she was better a couple days after. Is there a medicine I can pick up at my local pet smart, PetCo, etc.
Poor Baby! I would first start by trying benadryl and a cone collar to prevent her from rubbing it. See link below for benadryl dosing. Unfortunately, there aren't any great over the counter eye drops that will help to solve this. You can try artificial tears or even a eye lubricant like GenTeal eye ointment. You can find these at most human drug stores. If she isn't improving or ever starts to favor that eye, I would have your vet take a look at her. Your vet can make sure she doesn't have an ulcer on her eye and will be able to send her home with the proper eye drops to make her feel better. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl

hi there, my cat probably suffers from atopic dermatitis, we want to start cortisone treatment. how much dose and how much time should we give from which medicine? i know you will tell us to take our cat to a veterinarian, but the veterinarian in the
Steroids can be indicating is allergic dermatitis but have extreme side effects when used at high doses or long term. I would not recommend this as a long term course. Any steroid over time leads to a resistance where it just won't work anymore and can lead to liver problems and diabetes in cats. Prednisolone is better tolerated and seems to work better in generally in cats compared to dexamethasone. There is a medicine called Atopica or Apoquel that is made for allergic skin disease and does what the steroids do just without the side effects and resistance, so you may be better trying one of those instead. All are prescription medicines so you will have to call your vet to see if they can fill this since they already have a medical report on her. I would stay on the hypoallergenic diet as this can take 2-3 months for max affect and treats count as far as food allergy go, so make sure those are hypoallergenic or don't give any. I would consider a treatment for mange and fleas
