My cat sat in the litter box but produced no urine or stool, and keeps licking its private area — could this be urinary blockage?
Frequent trips to the litter box with little or no output, genital licking, blood in urine, dripping, or crying can signal a urinary blockage. Because owners often cannot feel the swollen bladder at home, a vet exam and ultrasound are the reliable way to confirm.
What happens if a cat’s nail is damaged?
A damaged nail can cause difficulty moving, since the nail base has rich blood vessels and nerves, so injury is painful and the cat may avoid walking or jumping. If the damaged spot isn't disinfected in time and gets infected, it can cause local redness, heat, even pus - needs debridement and antibiotics. If only the old outer nail sheds, usually fine as a new one grows; but if the nail bed is damaged, new growth may be affected or fail.
My cat breathes fast, belly moving in and out, but is energetic and eating/drinking fine.

My four-month-old cat had an abdominal exam three days ago that mentioned the stomach system, has been on IV fluids for three days, improves at night but is worse mornings and noon, is drooling and low-energy, and the vet wants a 600 yuan biochemistry test I can’t afford. Please help.

My cat was treated for urinary blockage, now drinks but won’t eat, urinates daily, but vomits white foam when I syringe water and can barely walk, just squats
Not eating and vomiting point to a digestive problem, and constant squatting suggests belly pain; urinary blockage can lead to kidney failure. See a vet for tests and IV fluids; kidney failure needs urgent fluid and liver support or it is life-threatening.
This has lasted over ten days: swollen bridge of nose, no pain reaction when pressed, normal stool/eating, lively—allergy or something?
A swollen red nose bridge can come from bug bites, injury, infection, allergy, or parasites. For a bump from collision, clean with iodine and ice; for allergies, use anti-allergy medicine. If no improvement, see a vet.
