Cat bought a year ago; always has brown tears, frequent sneezing, clear runny nose, sometimes severe wheezing like something stuck, but daily life and health are fine, always lively
For a year, brown tears with sneezing, runny nose, and severe wheezing suggest upper respiratory infection, commonly feline herpesvirus (rhinotracheitis), but also chronic rhinotracheitis, bacteria, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia. Take it for full respiratory exams, best a respiratory PCR panel, X-ray, and blood work, then treat by cause.
Cat has had symptoms for three days; today hid, found with bloated belly, cries in pain when touched, won’t eat, drank some warm water
Bloating, pain, and not eating may come from indigestion, parasites, or feline ascites. Watch for breathing difficulty, which would point to ascites. The cat is in poor state; take it to the vet at once for emergency care to avoid worsening.
What are the symptoms of foreign-body pneumonia in dogs?
Foreign-body pneumonia shows as cough, fever, and breathing difficulty; it is bronchial and lung inflammation from inhaled objects, often from wrong dosing method or swallowing trouble. See a vet at once. Treatment first removes the object; if breathing is severe, give oxygen, then antibiotics.

An asthma attack shows as rapid breathing, breathing difficulty, trouble lying flat, and strong chest and belly movement; cough and retch may appear.

What causes a dog’s tracheal stenosis?
Tracheal stenosis may come from congenital defects, outside pressure, or inflammation; signs include breathing difficulty, wheezing, and lower stamina. See a vet promptly for targeted care. For mild cases, use airway-relaxing drugs to improve breathing.
A scab on the nose; is it ringworm and how to treat it?
A nose scab from a photo alone cannot confirm ringworm; it may be injury or another skin disease. First try a Wood's lamp; green fluorescence likely means ringworm, but absence does not rule out fungus, since not all ringworm shows on the lamp. Try iodine disinfection and pet antibacterial cream; if no improvement or spread, see a vet.
Cat has had diarrhea all day and won’t eat
Diarrhea has many causes; find the cause before treating. Parasite infection needs a fecal test and targeted dewormer. If after diarrhea the cat is listless, loses appetite, vomits, or has abnormal temperature, consider acute gastroenteritis or panleukopenia; take it to the vet for exam, diagnosis, and treatment.
Dog ate a lot of greasy food yesterday; since last night diarrhea, this morning vomiting and diarrhea, no interest in food
Before the vomiting, diarrhea, and refusal to eat, the dog ate much greasy food, so this is mainly indigestion causing gut flora imbalance or gastroenteritis. First fast half a day and give pet probiotics; after relief, offer easy food. If no improvement, suspect gastroenteritis and give pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrhea meds.
Dog’s front legs can’t stand, body trembling
Unsteady standing and trembling can come from calcium deficiency, low blood sugar, leg injury, neuritis, or viral disease. Check the legs for wounds and treat if found. If none, try glucose to see if it helps; if not, see a vet for targeted care.
Why is my dog suddenly coughing and retching? It didn’t poop at night; the hospital X-ray says stomach and gut problems, and the image is unclear
Confirmed coughing usually points to respiratory disease; violent coughing can cause stomach spasm and reflux vomiting, and hard food may injure the esophagus or stomach. The blurry film shows high-density matter in the stomach, possibly undigested bone or food; recall if you fed hard bones causing injury and indigestion, leading to cough and retch. Follow the vet's plan.
