Why Is My Cat Crying Reddish-Brown Tears?
Reddish-brown tear discharge in cats can be caused by overly salty food, a blocked nasolacrimal duct, or eye inflammation. Determine the specific cause from the actual situation and treat accordingly. If the cat recently ate salty food, it may be 'internal heat' causing more discharge that oxidizes to reddish-brown—adjust to a bland diet and offer more water. If the eyes are also red and swollen, inflammation is likely; see a vet.

After my cat’s bath I didn’t dry it thoroughly; it had diarrhea for two days and sneezed a few times but has no other symptoms. Is it a cold? What should I do?

If it continues, use pet bismuth subcarbonate, smectite, and amoxicillin clavulanate. Keep your cat warm and feed a bland diet; watch for two more days before using cold medicine.
My puppy has hair loss, red swollen skin, and scabs on its face, nose, and eyelids

Wet, thinning fur around a dog's eyes and nose usually means overactive tear glands or blocked ducts. Switch to a bland diet and avoid table scraps; see a vet for duct flushing if it persists.

A turtle that refuses food is usually reacting to a poor habitat, bland diet, or wrong water temperature rather than true hunger. Restore its appetite by mimicking a natural setup, offering scented meaty foods, and keeping water at 22–25°C, while ruling out illness and avoiding salty or parasite-risky feeds.
How long after diarrhea can you feed a dog?
