My cat was scared by a dog, feels warm, has poor appetite, and sleeps a lot
Feline panleukopenia is a common and life-threatening disease; treatment focuses on antivirals, symptom relief, antibacterials, and supportive care. If infected, take the cat to a hospital early, as sooner treatment means a better chance of recovery. During treatment, follow the vet's instructions for warmth and nursing care.
My cat had vomiting/diarrhea (white foam) and a fever shot, then vet diagnosed gastroenteritis; now no diarrhea but vomiting thick yellow fluid, not eating, low energy
Have the vet determine if it's bacterial or viral gastroenteritis and follow treatment without stopping meds early. For repeated yellow-fluid vomiting, stop oral food/meds and use IV/subcutaneous fluids, then gut-repair meds, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and probiotics; feed liquid, easily digestible food later.
Distemper, Respiratory Infection, Pneumonia, Eating and Walking Fine, Hind Leg Twitching at Night, Pus Eye Discharge
Distemper is severe; respiratory/pneumonia types need nebulization and anti-inflammatories plus distemper monoclonal antibody, interferon and serum for 5-7 days. Hind-leg twitching suggests nerve damage that may be lifelong but manageable.
What Medication Treats Chronic Encephalitis in Dogs?
Treatment for chronic canine encephalitis includes symptomatic, antiviral and anti-infection therapy. A vet may use pain relievers for fever or nausea and antivirals or antibiotics depending on the underlying cause.
My dog won’t eat, has no energy, runny nose, and keeps whimpering; it doesn’t respond when called.
Not eating, runny nose, lethargy, whimpering suggest a serious disease. Without regular vaccines, high risk of distemper or infectious tracheobronchitis. See a vet promptly; viral distemper has high mortality and needs IV/antiviral. If it's a common cold, appetite/energy stay good—keep warm, give dog cold medicine and anti-inflammatory, more water.
How can you treat a two-month-old puppy diagnosed with coronavirus at home?
Canine coronavirus is contagious and can be fatal in two-month-old puppies, damaging intestinal lining and causing vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite, occasionally bloody stool. Early treatment calls for fasting and veterinary support such as fluid therapy, antivirals, and symptom care, so home treatment is generally not advised.
How long until canine coronavirus shows symptoms?
The incubation period of canine coronavirus is 2 to 9 days, mostly within 7. It attacks gut lining cells, causing vomiting, diarrhea, and poor appetite, rarely blood in stool. Treatment uses fluids and interferon antivirals.
Cat Got Wet, Then Weak with Mouth Sores, Drooling, and Bad Breath; What Is Wrong?
Mouth ulcers, drooling, bad breath, and poor appetite point to stomatitis, commonly from calicivirus or tartar. An unvaccinated kitten may have weakened immunity triggering latent viruses.
I gave it Mommy Love, B6, gentamicin, Yunnan Baiyao, cephalexin
Not vomiting in canine parvovirus doesn't mean improvement; treatment lasts about 7 days, worst at 3-5. Green stool suggests continued viral shedding. Your human drugs help symptoms but don't fully fight the virus. For higher cure rate, get vet IVs and antivirals, fluids, and symptomatic meds.
My cat has had stomatitis for over a year, treated with steroids, now resistant and losing fur with granulation tissue in the mouth. Should I consider euthanasia?
Feline stomatitis can be cured depending on severity and timely treatment, so euthanasia is not necessarily needed. Causes include calicivirus, immune-mediated disease, FIV, FeLV, and severe tartar; full-mouth extraction is often the most effective treatment.
