How Much Does an Adult Golden Retriever Weigh, and What If It’s Too Thin?
Adult male golden retrievers should weigh 27–34 kg and females 25–32 kg. If yours is underweight—usually from poor nutrition, parasites, or weak digestion—improve the diet, deworm regularly, and support gut health to help it gain.
Cat has pimple-like bumps on the body – is it panleukopenia? Not sure.
Panleukopenia infects the gut, causing vomiting, diarrhea, blood, fever, low appetite, lethargy - not skin bumps. The bumps may be nipples or pimple from skin/parasite infection. If eating/stools/energy normal and no vomiting/diarrhea, panleukopenia is ruled out.
Does My Hamster Have Wet Tail? There’s Also a Burnt Smell
Wet tail signs: watery grayish-white foul stools, wet dirty tail, poor appetite, hunched back, low activity; severe cases show bloody stool or rectal prolapse. Ordinary diarrhea is different—if symptoms are severe and rapid, treat wet tail promptly.

My two-month-old kitten won’t eat, is thin but lively and playful, and spits out kibble put in its mouth.

How do I tell if a Pug is healthy or not?
You can assess a Pug's health from several angles. Watch its energy, appetite, and litter habits, and check details like eyes, nose, and coat for warning signs. Lethargy, poor appetite, soft stools, heavy tear stains, or a hot dry nose can all point to health problems.
What happens if a Poodle has internal parasites?
Worms like roundworms and hooks steal nutrients, causing weight loss, low immunity, and stunted growth; they also damage the gut lining, causing bloody stool, anemia, lethargy. Poor nutrition harms coat, and heavy loads cause a big belly with thin limbs and worms in stool.
What happens when a Bichon Frise catches canine distemper?
In the early stage of distemper, a Bichon usually shows fever, increased eye and nasal discharge, coughing, reduced appetite, and lethargy. As the virus affects more organs, it may develop rapid breathing, worse coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloody stool. In the late stage, distemper often attacks the nervous system, causing convulsions, ataxia (unsteady gait), and seizures, which can lead to coma and death without timely treatment.
