How to Recognize the Symptoms of a Cat Cold
A cat cold brings red, weeping eyes, nasal congestion, drooling, sneezing, and fever up to 40°C — signs that overlap with feline rhinotracheitis and distemper. Mild cases improve with warmth, good nutrition, and pet-formulated antibiotics, while severe or dehydration cases need a vet.
Telling a Cat Cold Apart from Feline Panleukopenia (Distemper)
A simple cat cold brings sneezing, runny nose, and a mild fever that often resolves in a few days.

Dog Vomiting Yellow Foamy Water
Puppies often vomit yellow water, usually because the dog has not eaten for a long time, so it vomits bile and air from the stomach. If the owner has not fed the dog for too long, give a small amount of liquid food first to avoid a second vomiting from sudden eating. If appetite disorder is from some physical abnormality, take the dog to a pet hospital for relevant checks and treatment.
