My dog is sniffling, possibly chilled — ate this morning, drank at noon, now refuses food and wants to sleep, even when I pry its mouth open.

Based on your description, the sneezing, loss of appetite, and sleepiness may be a cold.

If symptoms persist or worsen, take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment.
My cat is 7-9 months old, had loose stool two days ago, became lethargic and refused food yesterday, vomited twice last night, and was found hiding in the yard this morning — what could be wrong?
Based on your description, the cat's symptoms of loose stool, lethargy, vomiting, and loss of appetite are mainly considered to be caused by gastroenteritis. You can withhold food for half a day and give the cat anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and gut-regulating medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, bismuth subcarbonate tablets, and pet probiotics. Once the symptoms ease, feed the cat easily digestible food. If there is no improvement after medication, promptly take the cat to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment to rule out any underlying disease.

Signs Your Guinea Pig Is Cold
When a guinea pig gets cold it usually shivers, puffs up its fur, and drops in body temperature, which easily leads to a cold with coughing, sneezing and loss of appetite. Keep the habitat at 20–29°C, add bedding and warmth in winter, and watch for shivering or huddling in a corner.
Kitten was fine when first brought home, but started vomiting the next day with clear fluid and white foam, refusing food, listless for three days, vomiting 2 to 3 times daily, sometimes yellow; never ate, threw up a few kibbles, ate some cat strips and hairball paste, water never cut off. Gave amoxicillin on day three, still vomiting, ate some chicken breast, vomited green fluid at night, then started having diarrhea.
Based on your description, vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea are most likely caused by enteritis or feline panleukopenia (distemper) virus infection. Because symptoms appeared shortly after bringing the kitten home, it may be a so-called week-old kitten from an unreliable source.
