  • Why does my cat keep scratching himself until he leaves no fur and it's scaly?

    Over the past week, my 3 year old male cat has been scratching and biting at himself profusely. I am getting concerned. There are two cats in the house, and the other one is completely fine, but the male cat seems to have something wrong. Over the summer, the cats had fleas as they do every summer because we live out in the country, but neither one of them have fleas anymore. We gave them flea medication and flea baths and also flea bombed the house. He has had his shots, and I have given him more baths to keep his skin clean, but he just won't stop biting and licking. I have put some medication for cats on the bare skin that is similar to neosporin, and it seems to burn when I put it on the skin (I would imagine it would since he scratches it so much), and I feel bad doing that because it hurts him. So, I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could give me some insight on how to go about helping him with meds, etc. Now, I know some of you are going to say TAKE HIM TO THE VET, and I promise I will do so. I was just wondering if I could get a little advice or suggestions I could try before taking him to relieve some of the pain and itching. Thank you in advance.

  • I'm a 17 year old girl and I've found a bump on my breast?

    I noticed a red lump/bump on my breast a couple weeks ago. It started out small and just a little red and progressed to a bigger bump and I thought it was the beginning of a big pimple, so I put toothpaste on it in hopes of maybe drying it out if it was a pimple so it would go away. I did that for a few days, but then it peeled away my skin and I saw a red lump with little purple dots and it popped and started pussing and bleeding a lot. I am getting nervous about it, and need help. What could this be??? Please give me real answers. Could this be breast cancer? It doesn't run in my family and I'm only 17 but I don't know. Please help asap. Thank you in advance.

  • Why do I have to pee so much?

    Ok, I'm 16 and lately I have been having to go pee every 15-20 min it seems. Idk why this is happening. Need some advice. I don't think it's diabetes because I don't have any other symptoms although diabetes does run in my family. Also, it does not burn or hurt when I pee just irritating constantly having to get up and go. Also when I do go it is jus a little bit and then I'm done. I drink lots of liquids (mostly water, occasionally milk or sweet tea) and have a pretty good diet overall. Please help with any info you may have to help me with this problem. Thank you advance and please only serious answers.

  • What is all over my hands?

    Recently I have noticed that I have been getting these pimple like bumps all over my hands. There is also a patch of them on my leg. They are little clear bumps that are popping up all over my fingers. They look clear and when I look closely at them it looks like there is water in them. I tried to pop one and it worked but about five minutes later it was closed up again. Also it seems like some pus is coming out of certain bumps. Hopefully someone knows what this could be. Its very odd and has never happened before. I haven't used any new lotions or any products that could cause this. Thank you in advance!!

  • I have to write an essay on the hunger games, and I'm stuck. I have the summary done.?

    All I need now is an introduction. I have to have an attention grabber, say a little bit about the book, and give a thesis. I have to also have a lesson or theme that I have to focus on from the novel. For example, a theme that really gets across the reader's mind. I have to argue the point. I know this seems like a lot, but I just need a little help. Thanks so much!!!

  • I was wondering if any one could help me write my conclusion for my term paper?

    My term paper is on the causes of people joining gangs. I have gotten everything done but the conclusion, Im kinda stuck. If it helps here is my introduction for my paper:

    Police came too late for fifteen year old, Shorty after he was found dead in an alley after being shot by a rival gang member. Shorty joined his neighborhood gang when he was just nine years old. As a reward of listening to the forerunner in his associated gang, he was rewarded with a gun when he turned thirteen years old. After that, he thought nothing of shooting members of other gangs because he knew nothing better, but now his body lies in an alley with bullets in him, left there alone. (“Gangs” 1). This is just one of the unbelievably common happenings in a gang ridden community. Many aspects are to blame in the joining of gangs, including being instigated by family tradition of membership, a sense of belonging, and the ever too prevailing burden of poverty.

    The conclusion has to have my thesis in it, but worded differently, and I have to have either a statistic or another story about something happening from a gang. Thank you it is much appreciated. (:
