Cat post-birth over a month, listless, won’t eat; before this I didn’t know what happened, often away; now home, haven’t eaten all day, ignores snacks. Related to birthing (1.5 months ago)? Also ate but stayed thin before – related?
Postpartum listlessness/refusal has many causes including stress and hidden disease; pre-birth low eating/thinness suggests consuming disease like FIP, parasites, liver. Postpartum hormone/env stress also; if favorite food refused, likely sick - uterine infection, severe malnutrition. See a vet.
Kitten missing 3 months returned with a missing tail tip, no obvious wounds, much thinner – what to do?
Tail loss likely from trauma/abuse causing ischemia and natural drop. Healed, infection-free wound needs no action, just minor balance loss. If infected or worried about stray pathogens/parasites, vet check, deworm, skin care before home.
My cat had blood in the stool once with a dangling drop, now only clear fluid at the anus
Soft stool with blood may come from internal parasites, panleukopenia, indigestion, or damaged gut lining. If the cat is alert and eating, serious panleukopenia is unlikely; messy or changed food suggests indigestion - try short fasting plus probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. If not dewormed recently, get a fecal exam for coccidia, roundworms, or giardia.

Stool was dry when first home; after some wet food it got a bit loose; does this count as diarrhea?
From the photo, the stool is loose and unformed; if spirits and appetite are good, it may be indigestion from wet food, common in cats with weak guts or new food. First fast and withhold water 6-12 hours and give pet probiotics, then slowly return to the old diet, avoiding sudden changes or new foods. If diarrhea continues, check parasites and gut flora at the vet.
After deworming the kitten a few days ago, it lost appetite, sleeps a lot, seems dull and lifeless
Poor appetite and sleepiness after deworming may be a drug side effect, or the body fighting heavy parasites, needing rest and usually easing in hours. But lowered immunity, gut irritation, or disease flare-up are possible, so if the side effect lasts over a day or two, seek the vet or take the cat in for a check.
My Cat Has Red, Itchy, Slightly Bald Skin Above Its Eye – Not Ringworm?
The exact skin condition cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, but clear itching suggests checking for mites around the eyes and ears, such as ear mites that trigger dermatitis and fur loss.

My One-and-a-Half-Month-Old Puppy Has Diarrhea and Is Now Vomiting Green Stool

My dog keeps vomiting and has diarrhea; it seemed better two days ago with formed stool, then suddenly started having diarrhea and vomiting again
Repeated vomiting and diarrhea can come from diet, toxins, parasites, gut dysfunction, or viruses. Check the food first; if normal, see a vet. If care is delayed, the illness worsens. Pet antibiotics may help temporarily.
