Why is my dog giving me side eye? If you can see the whites of their eyes, it could be whale eye, a body language sign that your dog feels uncomfortable, fearful, or stressed. Check the rest of their body for context. A stiff body, flattened ears, turning away, or trying to escape all say the same thing: your dog wants more space. Give them that space, and don't force an interaction or punish those warning signs.

Cat straining in the litter box and only peeing tiny amounts? Most people assume it's a UTI, but in young, otherwise healthy cats, bacterial UTIs are surprisingly uncommon. A much more common cause is feline idiopathic cystitis, or FIC, an inflammation of the bladder without an infection. Infections, stones and other urinary problems can all look very similar, so figuring out the cause takes some detective work. And if your cat is straining but not producing any urine, that's an emergency.

Red, puffy skin around your dog's eyes? If it came on quickly, especially with swollen lips or a swollen muzzle, an insect bite or sting may be to blame. There are plenty of other causes too, including allergies, irritation, parasites, skin infections, and problems with the eyes themselves. How quickly it appeared and what other symptoms your dog has can help narrow down the cause.

Blood in your cat's stool is one of those things that stops you cold at the litter box. A small streak of bright red blood usually comes from irritation lower down in the gut, often alongside diarrhea or constipation, and it is not always an emergency if your cat is otherwise eating, drinking and acting normal. What does need urgent attention is a large amount of blood, or black tarry stool, which points to bleeding higher up in the digestive tract. The same goes for bloody stool paired with vomiting, lethargy or a cat who has stopped eating. When in doubt, take a photo of the stool and get a vet to look at it, because color and consistency tell them a lot.

White flakes in your dog's fur? Dandruff in dogs can come from something as simple as over bathing or a harsh shampoo. It can also come from parasites, skin infections, allergies, or even a hormonal disease. Because those causes are so different, what actually helps depends on which one you are dealing with. Working out the cause is the first step.

Is that a worm in your cat's litter box? Roundworms can look like spaghetti, and tapeworm segments look more like little grains of rice. A lot of intestinal parasites are harder to spot though, because the eggs that pass in the stool are microscopic. So a clean-looking litter box does not mean your cat is worm free.

Why is my older dog drinking and peeing more? Along with weight loss or suddenly getting picky about food, it can be an early sign of chronic kidney disease. Dogs often show few symptoms at first, and by the time vomiting, lethargy, or bad breath appear, a lot of kidney function may already be lost. Blood work and a urinalysis can catch it early. The damage cannot be reversed, but an early diagnosis helps your vet manage the disease and protect your dog's quality of life.

Is your cat suddenly yowling, rolling around, and rubbing on everything like she's a completely different cat? She's probably in heat, not hurt. Heat cycles can look dramatic, some owners have even called an emergency vet because they thought their cat had injured herself or broken her back. It's usually just a normal heat cycle.

Cat eye discharge: is it an infection? Thick, crusty, or discolored gunk around your cat's eye has lots of possible causes, and an infection is only one of them. Some eye problems can turn serious quickly, so pay attention if your cat is squinting hard, refusing to open the eye, or the eye looks cloudy or painful. It is usually safe to gently wipe away discharge with a warm, damp cloth. Skip eye medications unless your vet recommends them.
