My cat has been hospitalized five days for hypertrophic heart and pulmonary edema with oxygen, diuretics and fluids, but is worsening – what now?

Cat vomited five or six times and keeps going to the litter box; blood in stool or urine during heat?

My dog hasn’t eaten for five days, wants water but drinks with difficulty and breathes loudly
Not eating but drinking usually means the dog is unwell with a serious illness. Drinking difficulty and loud breathing suggest respiratory disease, esophageal injury, or digestive or cardiopulmonary issues. With vague symptoms, a vet visit is urgent; five days without food likely means dehydration, so IV fluids for electrolytes are advised.
