Why does my cat always tear up and have eye discharge?

My dog just arrived a few days ago and keeps dry-coughing, but still has an appetite and no other symptoms. What could it be?

A dry cough in dogs can come from several causes — a foreign object, internal parasite infection, respiratory infection, or an allergic reaction. Check the mouth for anything stuck; if the cough persists without a clear cause, see a vet for a targeted diagnosis.

My guinea pig’s nose is wet inside — could it have a cold?

A moist nose alone is usually normal in guinea pigs, but check the cage for dust that irritates the airways. If sneezing, labored breathing, or lethargy appear, it's likely a cold — stabilize the temperature and give an isatis-root (banlangen) herbal remedy for three days.

My guinea pig’s nose is wet inside — could it be a cold?

A mildly moist nose is normal for a guinea pig. Clear the cage of dust that can irritate the airways; if there is also sneezing, labored breathing, or lethargy, it is likely a cold — warm the environment and treat with isatis root (banlangen) once daily for three days.

Why is my cat listless, lying on the floor and avoiding the air-conditioned room?

A cat that is constantly lethargic and lying down can have many causes: health problems, environment and stress. Vaccines, deworming, changes, or fright can cause low spirits, poor appetite and sleepiness, and prolonged stress may trigger FIP or cat flu. If it persists, see a vet to find the cause.
