What happens when a dog has inflamed tonsils?
A dog with tonsillitis usually shows throat pain, coughing, drooling, poor appetite, difficulty breathing, and bad breath, and may develop a fever. Untreated, it can worsen and cause complications, so see a vet. Treatment typically includes oral or injected antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and painkillers.
Gums
From the photo the cat's gums show no redness, ulcers, or abnormality and look normal; healthy gums are light pink. Yellowing, bleeding, or swelling would suggest gingivitis or periodontitis needing care. The kitten is teething, when mild redness, fever, or low appetite is normal, just feed well.

Will a Rabbit’s Diarrhea Get Better on Its Own?
A rabbit's gut is delicate, so diarrhea is a serious sign that will not resolve on its own. Causes include coccidiosis, chills/colds, improper diet, and rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD); treatment ranges from veterinary care for infection or RHD, to warming and diet fixes for mild cases. Never wait it out.
My just-opened-eyes puppy is listless and just lies down, what is wrong?
A listless, motionless newborn puppy may be sick if it also refuses food and has diarrhea, dry nose, discharge, or fever; see a vet. If it eats, drinks, and defecates normally, it may just be resting; watch closely.
What happens if a dog eats diseased pork?
Diseased pork can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites that make a dog vomit, diarrhea, or show chronic poisoning. Mild cases are treatable at home, but see a vet if severe; feed cooked, healthy meat.

In modern society, you should not be too surprised at whatever people keep as pets. Ordinary cats and dogs no longer satisfy some people, so they choose more niche animals—the fox among them. Foxes are canids, so they can also contract canine distemper.
