My 2-Month-Old Kitten Vomited White Foam and Lots of Water All Day the First Day; Next Day Had a 40.3°C Fever, Lethargic, Slept Constantly; Recently Poor Appetite, Weak When Walking, Rapid Breathing About 50/min, Seems Dying
Per description, vomiting, fever, lethargy, weakness, rapid breathing suggest panleukopenia, FIP, or other infectious disease. Unvaccinated kittens are high-risk; these are dangerous with high mortality. Seek vet promptly - timely treatment matters, don't delay or the kitten may die.
My kitten has been listless, not eating or drinking for two days, with abnormal stool and always sleeping, weak when it reacts
Not eating and lethargy are signs of illness needing a vet exam; with diarrhea, vomiting, or fever, an unvaccinated kitten may have distemper, and an undewormed one may have internal parasites; FIP, hepatitis, nephritis, or constipation also show this. See a vet.
My one-year-old blue-and-white cat has a pale nose since yesterday, eats only wet food and treats, has soft formed stool, and is low-energy—what is wrong?
Based on the signs—anemia, poor appetite, pickiness, lethargy, soft stool—the pale nose suggests anemia, but many diseases cause it; it may be a chronic condition like chronic enteritis, hepatic lipidosis, FIP, or parasites. Get a thorough vet check.
My cat eats, drinks, and jumps around fine – it just hasn’t pooped in two days, and its urine is normal.
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) comes in two forms, wet and dry. Wet FIP mainly shows symptoms such as difficulty breathing, weight loss, and an enlarged abdomen; if a male cat is affected, scrotal swelling may also appear. Dry FIP mainly shows fever, weight loss, cloudy eyes, and granulomas in the abdominal cavity. The cat may also show poor spirits and lethargy. FIP is a fairly serious disease that can lead to death. Therefore, if you notice the above symptoms in your cat, it is best to take it to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Based on your description, the cat only has the symptom of not defecating, which is very likely caused by constipation - it is recommended to give it more water and an appropriate amount of probiotics.
Deworming Medication
Ivermectin topical deworming solution is generally not recommended for cats, as it poses significant safety risks. Avermectin is a broad-spectrum topical antiparasitic with a narrow safety margin and strict dosing requirements; it is mainly used for large animals, and cats—usually under 6 kg—are prone to poisoning. If ingested, it can cause drooling, limb stiffness, and convulsions.
My cat has no energy after a fever, eats and drinks but is uninterested in everything else
Fever usually brings poor appetite, lethargy, dry nose, and weakness, but the fever itself is abnormal, typically from infection or contagious disease, so see a vet to find the cause. If you cannot go at once, cool it physically with alcohol swabs or ice on paw pads and ear tips; a temperature above 39.5 C is fever, and persistent fever needs hospital tests for panleukopenia, FIP, pneumonia, and leukemia.
My underweight kitten got ringworm; a flea spray was mistakenly applied and made the skin red with hair loss and scabs returning-what should I do?
If a cat's ringworm worsens after using a flea spray, the spray's ingredients may have irritated or allergic the skin. Stop using it immediately and take the cat to a vet. Use a safe topical spot-on for fleas rather than a spray, and treat ringworm with antifungal medication.
A kitten started with a swollen belly, then hind-leg weakness and unsteady standing, and later vomiting and diarrhea—what is happening?
From your description—swollen belly, hind-leg weakness, unsteady standing, then vomiting and diarrhea—this may be a serious disease needing prompt care. Possible causes include ascites, digestive disease, parasitic infection, or organ diseases such as liver, FIP, kidney, or heart problems.
Can I use abamectin topical solution on my cat?
Abamectin topical solution is unsafe for cats because its safety margin is narrow and cats under 6 kg easily overdose, with symptoms like drooling and convulsions. Safer options contain selamectin, fipronil, or moxidectin.
How long does cat coronavirus treatment take?
Cat coronavirus treatment usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on severity. If the cat shows no or mild symptoms, no treatment is needed, just boost immunity. If it develops FIP, a vet may use the drugs 376 or 441 plus symptomatic care.
