What happens when a Teddy dog catches a cold?
A cold Teddy shows sneezing, coughing, low appetite, and fever; mild cases recover with warmth and nutrition, but severe ones risk pneumonia. Rule out distemper if unvaccinated.
My free-roaming cat returned after two weeks, breathes through its mouth with a rattling sound, but eats and plays normally – is it sick?
Mouth breathing with phlegm suggests upper respiratory, lung, or infectious disease. Given stray exposure, see a vet to identify the cause.
My cat is weak, has no appetite, pus from the ears, and is vomiting blood.
Based on your description—lethargy, no appetite, pus from ears, vomiting blood—the condition is serious; see a vet promptly. Ear pus suggests infection (ear mites, otitis); vomiting blood can come from stomatitis, poisoning, gastroenteritis, distemper, pancreatitis, etc. Find the cause, then treat.
What are the sequelae of canine distemper?
Canine distemper sequelae commonly involve the digestive and nervous systems. A dog's gut is already delicate, and the virus further damages the digestive tract, lowering nutrient absorption and appetite. Once the nervous system is affected, even recovered dogs may retain sequelae such as head-shaking and seizures. Some dogs may also develop pyoderma during or after recovery.
My dog is on medication but not improving; today it has more clear nasal discharge than before
Runny nose not improving on meds likely means wrong medication. A puppy's runny nose may be a cold or infectious disease. A two-month pup is unvaccinated, weak, and more likely infected (distemper, parainfluenza). Take to vet to confirm and treat, prevent worsening.
What happens if a cat gets parvo (feline panleukopenia)?
Feline parvo, also called feline distemper or feline panleukopenia, causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, bloody stool, poor appetite, lethargy, and weight loss in cats. Without prompt treatment, the cat can die from dehydration within 7-14 days. In addition, the parvovirus can survive a long time in the environment and may spread to other cats through saliva, feces, and other contaminants. Therefore, once the owner suspects the cat is infected, take it to a veterinary clinic promptly for testing, begin isolation and treatment early after diagnosis, and disinfect the living environment regularly.
My cat has intermittent limb twitching, drools, is low-spirited, and has very hot ears
From your description, twitching, drooling, lethargy, and hot ears don't rule out poisoning, but heart disease, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, epilepsy, or distemper could also cause them. Get a vet exam to confirm the cause; the symptoms are serious, so timely treatment matters.
Not sure what happened, my cat just threw up. I only fed it cat food and water, nothing else.
Vomiting yellow-green fluid can be caused by many issues—indigestion, gastritis, gastric ulcer, pancreatitis, liver or gallbladder disease, or infection with feline distemper or coronavirus. Withhold food temporarily and offer a little warm water to prevent dehydration. If vomiting stops, probiotics and pet antibiotics may help; if it continues, see a vet.
Cat vomits red liquid and won’t eat, what to do?
Vomiting blood can stem from ulcers, parasites, pancreatitis, blockage, or distemper. Withhold food 6-8 hours and give anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory meds; see a vet if it continues.
My cat vomited yellow material with chunky bits
Yellow vomit has many causes: wrong food, parasites, indigestion, hairballs, gastroenteritis, panleukopenia. Recall recent overfeeding; for indigestion, fast 12h and give probiotics; if lethargy or other signs appear, see a vet.
