What are the symptoms of cat flu (feline herpesvirus)?

Are Feline Herpesvirus and Cat Flu the Same Disease?

My cat’s rear looks swollen and the fur there is brown lately; is that uterine concentration?
The photo likely shows a swollen vulva with discharge, not the anus. Causes include heat, pregnancy, or pyometra. If spirits and temperature are normal with no blood or odor, pyometra is unlikely; stop licking and see a vet if unsure.
Cat has had diarrhea all day and won’t eat
Diarrhea has many causes; find the cause before treating. Parasite infection needs a fecal test and targeted dewormer.

My dog caught a cold from a bath and chills; how to treat at home

My cat’s eyes water, it is sleepy and listless
Watery eyes may come from eye disease, internal heat, conjunctivitis, or respiratory disease like rhinotracheitis or calicivirus; screen for upper respiratory infection. If the diet is heating, switch to lighter food. Sleepiness may mean internal inflammation; take its temperature, and if listlessness and appetite loss persist, seek emergency blood and virus tests.
How Can I Make My Fish Tank Water Clear?

What should I do if my hamster stops moving?
A still hamster may be in pseudo-hibernation from cold or fright. Warm it up, keep things quiet, and it should recover in about ten minutes; then give a little glucose. If there is no breathing or heartbeat and the body is stiff, it has likely died - judge by the scene and its history.
