My orange cat cried out while eating a month ago, then a week later walked lame and wobbly, became aggressive, bites when touched; after falling in the litter box it can’t put its right paw down, legs unsteady, left leg turns inward, can’t stand over a minute. Voice clear, eyes bright, little discharge, still has appetite.
Limping and strong reaction to touch suggest significant pain; many causes, most worrying are bone, spine, lumbar injury pressing nerves. Take to a vet promptly for detailed exam—delay risks missing best treatment and lifelong disability. Untested care/meds are blind and painful. If she cries/bites on touch, give pet anti-inflammatory painkiller to ease pain.
How long is the course of feline coronavirus infection?
FCoV has two forms. Effusive (wet): early vague (weight loss, anorexia, weakness), then fever 39.7–41.1°C, high WBC, mild respiratory signs; later ascites, dyspnea, anemia, weakness. Course 2 weeks–2 months, mostly fatal. Non-effusive (dry): granulomas in organs, eye infections (corneal edema, iris/lens inflammation); CNS damage → ataxia, mild paralysis, seizures. Course 1–8 weeks, mostly fatal. Your cat likely shows non-effusive signs—seek professional treatment and care.

Moderate yogurt is harmless, even beneficial—probiotics and organic acids aid gut health, immunity. But some dogs are lactose-intolerant → diarrhea/soft stool. Flavored yogurt with jam etc. is unsuitable. Choose plain yogurt, don't overfeed.

When unsure of the skin type, get a scraping at a vet to identify fungus/bacteria/parasite/allergy/mixed, then treat per guidance. If no vet access, shave fur around the area, clean/disinfect with saline and iodine, let dry, spray pet skin spray, add oral anti-inflammatory/anti-itch, use Elizabethan collar. If no relief in 5–7 days, get further checks; regular external deworming.

My cat vomited; blood test showed high lactate and glucose. What does it mean?
Many causes of vomiting; high lactate and slightly high glucose alone don't indicate much—could be temporary from vomiting; suspect diabetes needs further glucose test. Clinically combine symptoms with X-ray, SAA inflammation, fecal, ultrasound; treat per experience. Vomiting often from GI disease, hairballs, parasites—try subcutaneous antiemetic or famotidine; after stopping, give probiotics; if won't eat/drink, IV nutrition.
