My roommate invited me to come with her to her grandmother's/mother's house for a few days. I have gone there before and brought my dog. It is an old "self made" farm house in the country. It is surrounded by fields and streams. My dog loves playing in the streams and visiting. My biggest concern currently is the risk of lyme disease.

My house has 2 cats, two sphynx's, one completely bald, one with fuzzy hair. The completely bald one, Yoda, has had a couple of coughing incidents. He grooms the fuzzy cat, George, who has not had any coughing incidents. My parents think it's just a hairball, but Yoda has not excreted anything from his mouth/nose.

When we pet him in the area, his muscles twitch and he would react like this (see video). It's hard to tell if he's in pain as he doesn't make a noise, act aggressively or try to bite us when we pet him there. His appetite, energy, playfulness and bowel movements are all normal. We've taken him to… ## [Elderly bulldog- WBC of 4.7.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/1w11t3y/elderly_bulldog_wbc_of_47/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Incrimnatinggoats\__ 11, French bulldog, male, neutered, otherwise healthy/no previous conditions.

He was given injections to treat the leukopenia and was given an iron supplement. The latest report shows that AST is 200+ IU/L and ALT is 500+ IU/L, significantly above the lab range. I’m worried because the vet did not mention it when we went over the report. Could anyone please… ## [Swollen eyelid in cat](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/1w10o7b/swollen_eyelid_in_cat/) _2026-08-28 · /u/Deep-Alternative494_ Hi there, I have a sealpoint domestic medium hair cat who is 5 years old and neutered, and up to date on vaccines.

No discharge, no redness of the actual eye, no goop of any kind, just kind of pink… ## [Estimated time of death for my cat](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/1w10ne2/estimated_time_of_death_for_my_cat/) _2026-08-28 · /u/karisma3105_ My cat, and beloved best friend, unexpectedly passed a away yesterday, and im looking for some closure.
