Blood in urine, loss of appetite, only drinking water
A cat with blood in the urine that won't eat and only drinks water usually signals a serious health problem and needs immediate veterinary care. Blood in the urine can be caused by many issues such as a urinary tract infection, stones, kidney disease, liver disease, or food poisoning, and the specific cause should be confirmed through urinalysis, blood tests, imaging, and urethrography before targeted treatment is given. During treatment, nutritional support through a feeding tube or intravenous fluids may be needed to meet the cat's basic physiological needs.
My cat has heavy hair loss on chest, belly, and limbs with no dandruff or ringworm, and normal thyroid, CBC, and blood chemistry, with normal energy, appetite, and elimination
Hair loss on the body without skin-disease signs is usually endocrine-related alopecia. Cushing's, Addison's, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and diabetes can cause large or symmetric hair loss. The vet needs detailed blood tests and specific stimulation tests; do not run these blindly but when clinical signs point to them.
How to Treat Scale Loss in Blood Parrot Cichlids
Find the cause before treating scale loss in blood parrot cichlids: fighting from overcrowding, poor water with bacteria (leading to red-skin disease or fungus), or injury. Fix overcrowding with a bigger tank or separation and yellow powder; clean the water and add salt or potassium permanganate; for red-skin or fungal disease, isolate, disinfect the tank, and use salt/permanganate or furacillin baths.
Signs a Blood Parrot Cichlid Is Nearing Death
As a blood parrot cichlid nears the end of its life, activity and especially appetite drop sharply, and some fish shed scales even without disease. Lethargy and rapid breathing are also clues. Good nutrition, stable water, and disease prevention help extend its roughly two-to-three-year lifespan.

What Causes Blood in a Dog’s Urine?
Blood in urine usually means a few streaks rather than a gush, but it warrants attention. Common causes are urinary-tract disease (cystitis, urethritis, stones), poisoning from onion/chocolate/grapes, or pseudo-blood from a male in heat. Get a diagnosis first; treatment ranges from fluids and surgery to neutering.
What to Do When Blood Parrot Cichlids Fight and Lose Scales, Exposing Flesh
When blood parrot cichlids fight, they tear off scales and can expose raw flesh, which invites infection. Isolate the injured fish and treat it with a 2–3% salt bath plus antibacterial or 'yellow powder' medication, keep the water at 28–30°C, and change it every three days. To stop the fighting, give more space, feed more, or separate the bullies.
Hair Loss and Redness Around a Dog’s Eyes
Hair loss and redness around a dog's eyes depends on the cause: one is natural hair shedding exposing the skin; the other is hair loss from itching. The former is mostly caused by diet, the latter mostly by bacterial and parasitic infections. To know the exact cause, the owner should find the underlying reason.
