You noticed that your pet ate his favorite toy during playtime, are you worried because he didn’t eat today or did you find some contents he threw up? 

Symptoms of disorders in the digestive tract are one of the most common that we encounter in veterinary practice, and the causes can be numerous. Given that the digestive system includes all the organs that participate in the complex functions of digestion, absorption of nutrients, the mobility of contents through the digestive tract and the elimination of waste materials, but also maintenance of electrolytes, it is very important that you react in time if notice some of the digestive disorders. The signs your pet shows often explain the location and nature of the disease. So irregularities during swallowing and chewing are the reason for problems in the oral cavity while vomiting is most often a sign of inflammation of the stomach or intestinal lining due to irritation or infection, but it can also be an accompanying symptom of some other disease, e.g. renal inflammation. Diarrhea, as one of the most common symptoms can be caused by a number of causes; bacterial

and viral diseases, food intolerance, internal parasites and others, can lead to dehydration very quickly. 

If you suspect any of the symptoms or have questions related to the digestive system, consult Vetzy vets via video call. We will provide you with advice on how you can help your pet.

• Rashes, redness

• Hair loss 
• External parasites

• Claw and nail injuries 

It seems to you that your pet is constantly scratching, lately its fur is shedding intensively or did you just notice that he has an open wound? 

Besides being the largest organ, the skin provides protection to the body, participates in heat regulation and is the first to be hit by various influences, and it gives one of the first signs of the general state of the animal’s organism. Dermatitis is a general term to describe an inflammatory condition

of the skin until the exact cause and diagnosis. There are many causes of skin inflammation, including environmental irritants, burns, allergens, trauma and infections (bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi). Dermatitis can also be caused by disease of internal organs. The response to these causes manifests itself through a symptom or a combination of them, scratching, flaking of the skin, loss of hair, etc., which can later develop into secondary infections with different forms of wounds and damage to the layers of the skin.

You knew that dogs and cats have a third eyelid, but you just noticed it now, has some ear discharge or you noticed his one eye remains closed all the time? 

Animal eyes function in a way very similar to human eyes, so animals can also develop many of the same problems; cataracts, glaucoma, conjunctivitis and other diseases. It is essential that you maintain good eye care for your pets in order to preserve their vision and enable that they function smoothly in their environment. 

Ears are organs that, in addition to the function of hearing, also participate in maintaining balance. Ear infections are also one of the frequent reasons consultation with a veterinarian, so owners are also advised to pay attention to the appearance, content or unpleasant smell of the pet’s ears. In addition to inflammatory agents such as bacteria, fungi, parasites that cause irritation and changes in behavior, growths can also be noticed on the ears in view of tumor formations, so it is of crucial importance for veterinarians to describe the observed changes.

• Unpleasant breath 
• Dental calculus
• Inflamed gums 
• Tooth fracture 
• Change of teeth from milk to permanent 
• Growths in the oral cavity 

Your pet is suddenly refusing solid food, you noticed that he has a pain reaction while he is playing with his favorite toy or has an unpleasant mouth odor and you are not sure why? 

The primary function of the mouth is to take in and process food, and like is the case with animals, they also serve for communication and social interaction, cleaning, protection, heat regulation (especially in dogs). Taking food, chewing and swallowing are complex actions in which teeth, tongue, throat and jaw muscles also participate. When any of these actions are disabled, various diseases, traumas, malnutrition and dehydration can occur. Bacteria inevitably accumulate in the oral cavity, but when their multiplication leads to infection, usually the affected tissue is around the teeth – gums, ligaments, bone tissue, and the consequence is loss of teeth if the condition is not treated. 

Another frequent reason for consultation with a veterinarian is the accumulation of plaque on the tooth surface. 

Owners can greatly contribute to the health of their pets’ teeth and oral cavity pets, so it is very important to consult on proper maintenance methods and oral hygiene of pets..

The musculoskeletal system includes bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, joints, tendons and other connective tissues. It provides stability to the body, enables movement and protects vital organs. Due to the connection of this system with the nervous, cardiovascular system and skin – disorders in some of them can also affect the movement system. Although traumas are the most common causes of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, the causes are often hidden in lack of nutrients, congenital or hereditary diseases, old age, and even malignant diseases. Very often they require a serious approach and special diagnostics.

• Hard breathing

• Discharge from the nose

• Pneumonia 
• Parasites

It sounded cute, but it worries you because your cat is sneezing, suddenly have you also noticed a runny nose or your dog is coughing after spending several days at the cottage? 

The most important function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen that travels to every cell in the body and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body. 

When there is a disturbance in the exchange of these gasses, serious diseases may occur. Although the core functions are the same, the anatomy of the

respiratory tract itself differs between species, which explains why some diseases can affect only certain types of animals. Respiratory diseases are common among pets, and although difficulty breathing and coughing are mostly caused by problems in the respiratory tract itself, they can also be an accompanying symptom >problems in the work of other organic systems, such as heart failure. 

Diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract are often caused by viral infections, bacteria, fungi, parasites, but symptoms also occur due to immunological response to allergens, irritants or toxic substances. Trauma such as a blow or fall can lead to a collapsed lung or airway, and poor housing conditions, staying in pet hotels, shelters are suitable situations to spread infections.

• Difficulty urinating

• Congenital defects 
• Infectious and non-infectious diseases 
• Kidney failure
• Urinary calculus 

Thought your pet is marking its territory, but still too often? Your cat suddenly drinks too much water or the color in its litter is darker than usual? 

The urinary system has several important functions. it eliminates harmful substances from the organism that are created when food is converted into energy, maintains balance 

electrolytes inside the cells, produces hormones that are essential for maintaining blood pressure, blood cell production, salt resorption and finally participates in the metabolism of vitamin D. Having all this in mind, disorders in operation of this system can lead to serious problems. Inflammation of the kidneys, urinary bladder can often recur, especially when they are present urine crystals, but the causes can be other. Cat owners will know that they are particularly sensitive to kidney diseases, and in often congenital changes in the anatomy of this tract, which result in problems in its normal function.

Would you like to know more about dog breeding, can a parrot lay an egg or you just have a few questions about dog castration? 

Although the reproductive system may differ anatomically in different species, its primary function is to produce offspring. In addition to reproductive organs, regulatory centers in the brain that affect the proper functioning of sex hormones. functional irregularities, infertility problems, etc., are also possible anatomical deviations or diseases that consequently cause disabilities. In veterinary practice, one of the most common surgical procedures is castration and sterilization – both because of the benefits in the prevention of malignant diseases in the elderly age, sexually transmitted diseases, as well as to prevent excessive growth in number of stray dogs due to a large number of neglected dogs and cats. It is essential that the owners are educated about the reproductive health of their pets and consult on questions and concerns regarding the same.
