My one-and-a-half-month-old kitten ate at 6, vomited two hours later with sudden rapid breathing. Any first aid?
Vomiting with rapid breathing suggests digestive or respiratory issues; unvaccinated kittens need infectious-disease checks. See a vet promptly; if delayed, try pet anti-vomit meds then get full treatment.
My cat went to a friend’s and beat their cat; that cat hid under the bed, won’t eat, breathes fast – scared sick?
Extreme fear causes stress: panting, fast breathing, hiding, tongue out; mild cases recover with rest. Severe: incontinence, urinary block, no eating; if undiagnosed heart disease, fear can trigger fatal attack. Don't expose to scary places; severe stress needs a vet.
How can I tell if my cat has a fever?
A temperature above 39.5 C indicates fever, along with low energy, hiding, and rapid breathing. See a vet, or use pet fever reducers and cooling at home if a visit isn't possible.
My cat breathes fast, belly moving in and out, but is energetic and eating/drinking fine.
Rapid breathing has many causes; common is upper respiratory infection (get a PCR test). It can also be heart/lung disease, FIP, fever, or pain. If it persists, see a vet.
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.
What happens if a cat has an enlarged heart?
Cardiac hypertrophy (hypertrophic heart disease) lowers pumping efficiency, causing fluid in the lungs, rapid breathing, wheezing, and exercise intolerance. The tongue may turn purple or pale, and blood pressure often rises.
What happens when a cat is unwell?
An unwell cat may show poor appetite, less activity, sleepiness. High inflammation causes fever (dry nose, fast breathing, hot mouth/skin). Gut trouble brings vomiting, diarrhea, bloating. Low water intake risks urinary issues (frequent, scanty, or painful urination). Any abnormality needs a vet.
Hamster fell about 1 meter, now has red-purple skin under nose, a little blood at mouth, energetic but trembles and breathes rapidly at times
Trembling and rapid breathing after a fall may be from fright or internal injury, with internal injury being likely from a 1-meter drop. Seek a veterinary exam promptly; if only fright or pain, anti-inflammatory pain relief, good nutrition, and a quiet environment help recovery.
My hamster fell and is now bleeding from the nose, lying still with eyes shut—only breathing and heartbeat remain.
Based on your description, a hamster that fell from a height and shows a nosebleed, immobility, and closed eyes likely has internal injuries or broken bones. This is serious—take it to a vet promptly for examination and treatment.
Why is a cat panting?
Cat panting can come from respiratory disease, cold, rhinitis, bronchitis, or cardiopulmonary disease. For example, feline rhinotracheitis virus causes panting, cough, runny nose, and rapid breathing, even fainting. If it persists, take the cat to a vet for targeted treatment.
