Hamster keeps making puffing sounds, mouth-breathes while sleeping, but active; about two or three days
Puffing with good spirits may be dust, inhaled debris, or smells. Change to low-dust bedding and clear odors; clean the nose. If persistent, consider illness like heat or respiratory disease.
Why Does My Cat Have Watery Eyes and Lots of Discharge?
Watery eyes and discharge can come from environmental irritants (pollen, dust mites), heat, infection, or eye disease. Greasy/salty food causes heat and more discharge - adjust the diet. Conjunctivitis, keratitis are common causes; if persistent, see a vet.

Tearing can come from irritation, inverted lashes, allergy, heat, ear mites, conjunctivitis, keratitis, or ulcers. Remove irritants, adjust diet, and see a vet if persistent.
It does not feel hot and there was no intense exercise, so why is my dog panting constantly? Appetite and spirits are normal. It seemed to keep sticking its tongue out yesterday too — surely it is not really hot? Is this tongue color normal?
Common causes of frequent tongue-out panting include high temperature, intense exercise, respiratory disease, and heart/lung issues. In heat, dogs pant to cool down; move it to a cool, airy place and see if it stops. If it persists, a health problem is likely and a vet visit is needed.
Why Does My Dog Have So Much Thick, Sticky Eye Discharge?
Causes include 'heat,' eye inflammation, blocked tear ducts, respiratory disease, or injury. Find the cause at a vet; heat needs a light diet and more water, blockages need clearing, infections need eye wash and drops.

My Hamster Has a Lump With Black Dots – What Is It?
The photo shows an enlarged testicle - a clear sign of a male hamster in heat. The black dots on the rear are likely folliculitis. Clean the area with saline and apply erythromycin ointment. Avoid too much greasy/high-calorie food; keep the environment clean during heat.
My Kitten Has Reddish-Brown Marks at the Corner of Its Eye
The photo is blurry with no clear abnormality. Red-brown marks may come from heat, irritants, or blocked tear ducts, all of which raise tearing; oxidized tears turn red-brown. Clean the corner and watch for itching or more tearing.
My cat came back from playing outside listless, lying down, and eating much less — what can I do?
Lethargy and lying down can be from stress, heatstroke, low blood sugar, or other disease. Check temperature for heatstroke; cool it and give glucose water. If no improvement, see a vet; outdoor cats easily catch infectious disease.
