My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.
My Pet Hasn’t Eaten for Five Days, Only Drinks Water, Vomits Yellow Fluid, Is Lethargic and Weak – What Should I Do?
Per description, 5 days without food and vomiting may cause limb weakness, low blood sugar, dehydration. Promptly take to vet for IV to restore electrolytes and fluids; then tests to find root cause, targeted treatment. Otherwise it may die; self-recovery or home treatment unlikely.
I found a cat on the road five days ago and brought it home; it’s unvaccinated. Today while bathing it, it scratched me and drew a little blood. Can I skip the rabies vaccine?
If scratched by a stray cat with bleeding/exposed wound, get the first few shots and use the 10-day observation method—rabies is 100% fatal, so vaccinate to be safe; if the cat is fine after 10 days, skip later shots. First, rinse the wound with tap water 15–30 min, squeeze out blood, then disinfect with iodine.
My bird has heatstroke with heavy panting and occasional spasms; I gave electrolytes and Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Shui five hours ago—what now?
Based on your description, heavy panting and occasional spasms after heatstroke mean the bird is severely affected and at risk of death. Since you've given electrolytes and a cooling herbal liquid, keep it in a cool, ventilated place, spray cool water periodically, and offer water. If a vet is nearby, seek professional care.
A five-day-old puppy switched to goat milk formula has diarrhea and keeps crying—what should I do?
Diarrhea and crying in an unweaned puppy are mainly due to gastrointestinal disease, possibly gut discomfort from switching from mother's milk to goat milk; puppy guts are fragile. Could also be ingredient intolerance or flora imbalance. Adjust feeding back to mother's milk or another formula, add probiotics; if persistent, seek veterinary help.
There are five young kittens just weaned; their mother is a neighbor’s cat but they’ve been in my yard since weaning. This afternoon my brother found a small orange cat lying down, listless, tail puffed and trembling; by evening it had died. I got home at night and found another small orange one foaming at the mouth. I tried to grab it for soapy-water induction but couldn’t catch it. What should I do, what could be the cause, and could it affect the other three tabby kittens? Thank you!! First photo is an older cat photo; the last two are the dead kitten.
In a shared litter, one dead and another foaming at the mouth suggests an infectious disease or poisoning from something eaten. Foaming can come from common digestive disease or poisoning — panleukopenia, enteritis, parasites, or food/drug poisoning. If others vomit, the most likely cause is food poisoning or contagious panleukopenia; all littermates are at risk. Separate them, watch closely, go to the vet, and disinfect the home; store toxins out of reach.
After shaving last night I found many small gray-brown spots on the skin (over ten), on the back and waist, like scabs stuck on but not crusted, with two slightly red areas. Itchy, with scratching, for four or five days.
From the photo and description, many gray-brown scales and spots likely indicate a mixed fungal and bacterial skin infection. Inflammatory stages show red bumps; healing leaves gray-brown patches like acne marks. A skin exam is advised; keep the coat dry.
The day my dog got the rabies vaccine it vomited four or five times; no facial swelling, but it scratches its mouth and neck
Rabies vaccination usually has some side effects, but vomiting and itchy skin could be a vaccine allergy that, if severe, may cause shock. Without facial swelling but with itching and frequent scratching, allergy is still highly suspected; return to the hospital for desensitization. On the way, use a collar to prevent face scratches and infection, and withhold food and water to ease the gut; the vet will treat urgently.
How long does a five-year-old cat sleep per day?
A five-year-old cat sleeps about 15 hours a day on average; 12-18 hours is normal for a healthy adult. Sleep is affected by factors like heat cycles, and cats spend much time in light sleep, so ensure quiet rest.
My dog, over a year old, hasn’t eaten for five or six days, only drinks sometimes, low spirits—what is wrong?
Not eating often means serious illness; observe other signs and get a full exam for the cause. Try tempting with canned food, paste or meat to see if it is just picky; if so, fix diet and stop human food. If it tries but can't eat, check the mouth for objects, dental or stomatitis. Watch for diarrhea or vomiting—if present, it may be poisoning, infection or organ failure; see a vet.
