It is the second day since the dog came home. Its stool is a bit loose and sometimes has a little blood, but energy and appetite are good. The pet store said it is a parasite issue and told us to come for an injection, but we worry it may have an underlying problem. What is the best treatment? Also, it has no crate yet and likes to sleep on the floor.
Loose stool with blood can be caused by indigestion, internal parasites, or viral infection. For a new dog, a full veterinary checkup is best to confirm the cause; if parasites are the issue, timely deworming plus vet-prescribed antibiotics and gut-repair medication will aid recovery.
My dog has a fever and convulsions in both front legs and one back leg, with whimpering, rapid breathing, normal appetite, and can still walk. How should I handle it?
Fever with convulsions may be nerve abnormality, epilepsy, or distemper. Immune activation and dehydration/electrolyte imbalance from fever can trigger seizures. These are dangerous; take the dog to a vet promptly for cause-based treatment.
Cat brought home June 17, June 18 started yellow thick nasal discharge, normal appetite/stools/energy; eye drops since 18th, no relief. What to do?

My Persian cat recently sneezes often with more eye discharge; started clear, later yellow-green; red, swollen gums; heavy drooling; appetite dropping; urination/defecation normal.
Persian cats' sneezing and eye discharge signal upper respiratory infection from herpes, calicivirus, mycoplasma, etc. Short noses make tear-duct blockage common, but appetite loss and drooling point more to rhinotracheitis/calicivirus. Get a PCR respiratory panel.
Kitten has poor appetite, vomiting, and constipation – why?

My kitten keeps retching, has poor appetite, and refuses food.
A dog drooling thick saliva can have different causes, including irritating food, oral infection, and dental problems. Clean the mouth and check; if drooling continues, consider oral disease needing spray and antibiotics; see a vet if no relief.
My dog keeps coughing, cannot close its mouth, has foam around the mouth, a slight fever, poor appetite, and trouble opening its left eye — what illness is this?
