Kitten recently eats very little and stools are very dry
The image is blurry, but poor appetite with dry stools may be hairballs, constipation, blockage, or a single diet, and can be an early sign of disease. Try cat grass and hairball paste first.
I found a stray kitten with no mother and brought it home; does this orange kitten’s mouth have a problem?
The photo shows much nose/mouth discharge, likely a respiratory infection or inflammation, but panleukopenia or calicivirus can't be ruled out; strays easily catch viruses. Get a full vet check; if diseased, follow the vet's treatment.
My ~2-month-old kitten has diarrhea, low energy, likes cool spots, and seems to have trouble breathing
Diarrhea, lethargy, and breathing difficulty may be digestive, respiratory, or other disease, and an unvaccinated kitten may have an infectious illness. See a vet to confirm the cause; timely care matters if infectious.
My kitten was bitten, won’t eat, vomits after a little food, can’t pass stool, and can’t walk
Based on your description - vomiting, stopped defecation, and inability to walk after being bitten by another cat - it is best to take the kitten to a veterinary hospital promptly. The kitten may have developed an illness from severe fright, and if the other cat carries a disease or virus, the kitten could become infected. Have it examined soon to understand its condition and apply the right treatment.
Looked fine in the morning, but by afternoon a patch was bald; the kitten is in heat, no wound, just slight redness from scratching. The vet said maybe allergy. What’s going on and how do I handle it?
Hair loss and itching on the neck can come from parasite bites, allergy, or fungal/bacterial skin disease; photos alone can't confirm the cause. Get a skin scraping at a vet to find the source, then treat. Use an E-collar if it scratches a lot, and keep the environment clean and deworm regularly.
What happens when a fold-eared cat has kittens?
The fold trait comes from an inherited bone disease, so kittens likely inherit it and may face joint and bone problems. Breeding fold cats also risks difficult labor.
My three-month-old kitten had chicken-breast cat food for the first time today; this afternoon it started twitching its nose, possibly coughing about five or six times, but with no discharge and good spirits.
Nose twitching after eating chicken-breast cat food may just be from eating too fast and choking—keep observing. If it persists, it could signal a respiratory infection, pneumonia, heart disease, or blood parasites, needing a vet check. Also avoid overfeeding favorite foods to prevent rapid eating and choking.
My one-month-old kitten was bought 6 days ago and was fine, but suddenly became listless, walks slowly, is sleepy, and has mild diarrhea — what’s wrong?
From your description, the kitten shows listlessness, slow walking, sleepiness, and diarrhea, which is very likely an illness, possibly from gastrointestinal problems. Given its young age and lack of vaccination, infectious disease cannot be ruled out.
Kitten vomits yellow fluid, won’t eat or drink, sploots, has bad breath and fever
With vomiting yellow fluid, refusal to eat or drink, splooting, and fever in a young kitten, the initial judgment is an infectious disease such as coronavirus or parvovirus. Take it to a vet promptly to confirm and treat; delay can cause collapse and worsening.
My kitten’s waist bulges to the right; is that normal?
From the photo alone, no abnormality is seen; cats are flexible and may show odd postures, which is normal. If you suspect the back, feel the spine; if bone bulges or belly stays hard, see a vet.
