My cat was vaccinated today (third shot) and shows a stress reaction but is lively
Some cats show stress after vaccination, like diarrhea, low spirits, poor appetite, sleepiness; this is normal and usually resolves in 3 days. If it lasts or worsens, see a vet. Long diarrhea needs fluids for dehydration. Severe stress needs prompt care.
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.
How to Effectively Treat Turtle Pneumonia
Turtle pneumonia needs prompt isolation and warmth (28–30°C). Mild to moderate cases get antibiotic baths and oral syringing; severe cases need intramuscular ceftriaxone. Dry-dock severe cases and give glucose fluids to avoid dehydration.
Suddenly vomited at home, limbs weak, constant convulsions; now at the vet on IV for 3 days, still unconscious and paralyzed
Feline encephalitis is serious; follow the vet and hospitalize. Treatment includes medication (antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals) and supportive care (nutrition, fluids, oxygen) that's hard to do at home.
What is a cat’s digestive tract like?
A cat's gut includes the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The stomach stores and begins digesting food; the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) is the main site of digestion and absorption; the large intestine absorbs water and forms stool.
My dwarf hamster can’t stand, keeps its face on the ground, abdomen is wet, keeps licking, eats little, can’t rise to drink – I have to hold it to give water
A hamster with a wet abdomen and inability to stand may have a bone problem with incontinence; take it for an X-ray and treat by its condition. It may also have wet tail disease, with frequent watery, foul stool and weakness, needing treatment of the primary disease plus oral antidiarrheals, probiotics, and fluids.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.
A kitten over a month old was fed one-third of a cat stick the last two days; today it refused the stick, and after dinner was found by the litter drain looking unlively. An hour later my boyfriend found it dying; we couldn’t take it to a vet and it passed, then water dripped from its nose. Could the cat stick have caused this?
Nose fluid after death may be from post-mortem fluid loss, viral infection or pulmonary edema, or prior heavy drinking with pressure on the body. The cause cannot be confirmed from this alone; a vet exam would be needed.
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.
My cat was fine Saturday morning but by Sunday was diagnosed with kidney failure and won’t eat or drink—any way to treat or relieve symptoms at home? (Hospital is too expensive)
Per lab results, the cat's indicators are poor; kidney failure needs large-volume fluids plus medications, usually a long treatment. Two types: chronic (incurable, managed with diet) and acute (curable if treated timely; options: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, medical fluids). Treating at home without the hospital is unlikely to cure, especially with liver damage and low white cells/platelets—needs leukocyte boosters, anticoagulants, phosphate binders, liver protectants.
