How is feline panleukopenia (cat plague) transmitted?
Cat plague spreads through direct and indirect contact: directly from a sick cat's excretions, or indirectly via contaminated shoes, clothes, or food. It is highly fatal, so seek prompt veterinary care if symptoms appear.
What are the symptoms of false pregnancy in cats?
False pregnancy mimics real pregnancy: early vomiting, diarrhea, increased appetite, and sleepiness, plus heightened sensitivity and weight gain. After heat ends, nesting, restlessness, and lactation may appear, sometimes leading to mastitis.
Do cats experience morning sickness during pregnancy?
Cats may experience morning sickness, though not all do. As the fetus grows it presses on the digestive organs, typically causing vomiting around two weeks into pregnancy, usually lasting under two days.
Will a Dog Lose Its Appetite in Heat? What’s Normal and What’s Not
Reduced appetite in heat is common but not universal — hormone swings and a focus on courting (especially males near a female) drive it. Usually harmless if intake stays within 30% of normal and the dog is bright. See a vet if it refuses food 24h+, is lethargic, or shows vomiting/diarrhea/fever, or appetite doesn't return after heat.
Why does my cat have a poor appetite?
Poor appetite can be indigestion, stress, gut upset, hairballs, or pickiness. Overeating/spoiled food, new-environment insecurity, worms, hair in the gut, gastritis/pancreatitis, or boredom with one food all fit. Try probiotics; with vomiting/diarrhea, see a vet.
Moving With Your Cat? What You Must Do to Avoid Stress
Moving is stressful for cats because it strips familiar scents and space. Prep 1–2 weeks ahead: keep unwashed core items for their smell, get a pheromone spray and catnip, and acclimate the carrier. On moving day isolate the cat in a quiet room; on arrival let it settle in one room for 3 days, then expand. Watch for lilies/pothos and see a vet for vomiting, blockage, or shivering.
Can cats eat bones?
No. Cooked/fine bones (fish, chicken, duck) can scratch the throat and gut and cause bloody stools; hard bones can lodge and cause vomiting, diarrhea. For calcium, use safe powder or tablets.
Pros and Cons of the Siberian Husky
The Husky looks much like a wolf—handsome, friendly, non-aggressive, and loyal. It's a born clown with a gift for comedy that cheers owners up, and it adapts well to extreme cold and low oxygen. But its energy is boundless, so without enough exercise it tears up the home; it's stubborn and hard to train, and its wolf howls can disturb neighbors.
Is It Normal for a Dog’s Stomach to Rumble Loudly?
A rumbling dog stomach is usually the normal sound of intestinal movement, medically called 'borborygmi.' As food passes through, the gut contracts and expands, producing the noise. But improper diet, extreme hunger, sudden food changes, gas-producing foods, or intense exercise can make it louder. If the rumbling comes with soft stool, diarrhea, vomiting, obvious bloating, frequent hiccups, lethargy, or poor appetite, the gut is likely troubled—see a vet promptly.
What is feline distemper (panleukopenia)?
Feline distemper is panleukopenia, also called feline infectious enteritis — a highly contagious, highly fatal viral disease. Infected cats show repeated fever, lethargy, severe vomiting, lost appetite, diarrhea, bloody stool; common in unvaccinated kittens. Cats over 2 months with no issues should be vaccinated; isolate suspected cases and test with a strip, treat promptly if positive.
