Back keeps balding and bare, frequent runny nose not fixed by medicine; 10+ months and not gaining weight (20g to 50g), not growing
Frequent back hair loss can be seasonal, nutritional, fungal or parasitic; cage allergies and parasite feeding also cause thinning and weight loss. Poor nutrition stunts growth. Judge by appetite and state; see a vet if the cause stays unclear.
The dog just lies there and does not move
Cold symptoms are cough, sneeze, runny nose and tears; with vomiting and appetite loss, rule out distemper first with a vet. Distemper needs interferon and monoclonal antibodies or it can kill in 1-2 weeks. If it is just a cold or gut issue, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, anti-vomit and probiotics.
What if my cat got an extra shot of Feligen and rabies vaccine? Last shots were four months ago
An extra Feligen and rabies shot usually causes no serious problem, just mild swelling, fever or appetite loss that fades in days. In weak cats, over-vaccination may over-activate immunity and raise future immune-disease risk, which is rare. Watch closely and see a vet if severe.

Plaster is cement and lime, hard to digest, and can cause indigestion or bowel blockage with diarrhea, constipation or appetite loss. Its powder irritates the mouth, and grit can scratch the esophagus and gut, causing inflammation and pain.

Too-frequent baths strip the skin's oil barrier, causing dryness, dandruff, itching or allergies, and roughen the coat. Weak dogs may also catch colds with sneezing and appetite loss. Bathe moderately.
What happens if a cat in heat is not allowed outside?
A confined cat in heat may yowl day and night, disturbing the household, and lose appetite, leading to weight loss and weaker immunity. Unspayed females risk pyometra and ovarian cysts. Spaying is advised if no breeding is planned.
How can I make sure a cat is healthy when buying one?
Check a cat's health by: no abnormal eye, nose, or ear discharge or ear odor; no hair loss, lumps, red skin, or excess dander, with a glossy coat; formed stool without blood or worms and a clean anus; and a lively, alert temperament.
What should I do if my rabbit has trichomoniasis?
Trichomonas infection is common in rabbits, with main symptoms of diarrhea, weight loss, and reduced appetite. It can be treated with metronidazole, formalin, or thiabendazole, which kill the parasites and are relatively safe and well tolerated. Note that dosages and treatment courses differ between drugs, so they must be used according to a veterinarian's advice.
