How to Care for a Cat in Heat
Most female cats go into heat every 3–4 weeks and males about once a week. This guide covers the behavioral signs of a cat in heat and practical care — extra nutrition, distraction through play, securing exits, and avoiding baths — plus why early spaying is recommended.
After a bath, the puppy is listless, curled up in a ball, with a dry nose; pressing its belly produces gurgling sounds, not the puppy’s cries.
Listlessness and a dry nose after a bath may be from fright, chills, or an infectious disease. Keep the puppy warm, offer protein and vitamins, and if sneezing appears use pet cold medicine; unvaccinated puppies with fever or vomiting need a vet.
I brought home a stray cat about two months old with no other injuries; the mother cat was fed regularly. After three months I’m anxious about rabies because it’s small, though its weight is fine and it’s lively with normal eating, drinking, and litter habits, and it got two doses of the Miao San Duo vaccine. Could it still have rabies?
The Miao San Duo vaccine generally does not trigger rabies. Since your cat's eating, elimination, and mental state are normal with none of the rabies signs like agitation, fear of water, or foaming at the mouth, rabies is very unlikely. Just complete the three doses and get the rabies vaccine promptly.

How do I apply external (topical) parasite prevention to my cat?

My rescued mother cat shows signs of labor and I’ve seen her strain with contractions, but she hasn’t delivered for three days, won’t eat, only drinks water, and vomits. I can’t afford a C-section — what can I do to help her?
From your description the cat is likely in dystocia with the fetus stuck; three days of strong straining plus no eating and vomiting means she is in danger and the fetus may be dead, causing sepsis. Aside from urgent vet care and possibly surgery, there is no better option; if she were still eating and active, oxytocin and abdominal massage could be tried, though risky.
What happens when a dog has inflamed tonsils?
A dog with tonsillitis usually shows throat pain, coughing, drooling, poor appetite, difficulty breathing, and bad breath, and may develop a fever. Untreated, it can worsen and cause complications, so see a vet. Treatment typically includes oral or injected antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and painkillers.
