My cat has been low in spirit lately, always wants to sleep, walks very slowly, has poor appetite, doesn’t like to drink, lies down all day, but sometimes perks up with its favorite toy. It used to sneeze a lot and its belly twitches

Expert Answer

A cat with low spirit, not eating, and prior sneezing may have a respiratory infection; the specific cause may be a chill and cold, or infection with herpesvirus, calicivirus, mycoplasma, and so on. In addition, if the cat currently shows no sneezing but only low spirit and poor appetite, it may also be caused by other diseases, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, indigestion, hairball syndrome, or parasite infection. Owners are advised to take the cat to a veterinary hospital promptly for an examination to determine the cause and apply targeted treatment.

← My Golden Retriever suddenly can't stand on its hind legs. I sit it up but it can't stay; front legs paddle for balance, then it falls at 90°. It's alert, wants to get up, squeaks, still eats/drinks (with help), and can't control bladder/bowels. Why Is My Fancy Rat's Hind Legs Paralyzed? →
