My cat’s hind leg hurts and cannot touch the ground
Without a clear description, the cause is unknown; check the hind leg and paw for wounds. If none, bone or muscle injury is likely and needs a vet X-ray.
My dog arches its back with vomiting and diarrhea and abdominal pain
Arching the back signals abdominal pain; with vomiting, diarrhea, and pain, suspect acute or viral gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or other abdominal disease. Do not medicate blindly; see a vet.
My dog’s front leg is weak and it lifts the paw; pain suspected
With no wound, weak front-leg lameness may be from low calcium, arthritis, or a fracture. As it worsens, get a vet exam; arthritis needs antibiotics and pain relief.
My cat lies down all day, cannot walk, and sits like a human
Your cat may have a problem with its lumbar spine or other bones; a vet X-ray is needed. Some cats have congenital bone dysplasia causing spinal pain, and sitting upright can relieve it.
Why is my cat drooling and breathing fast?
Drooling with rapid breathing may mean poisoning from bad food or wrong medication, causing salivation, twitching, vomiting, and pain. Poisoning is serious; see a vet at once for detox.
Cat eats nothing, only drinks water, no diarrhea, but is lethargic and just lies down
Not eating but drinking may signal gut or mouth problems like gastroenteritis or stomatitis causing pain. Check the mouth and belly; see a vet if other signs appear.
Why does my cat drink a lot and shiver?
Frequent drinking with shivering may be from cold, pain, or fear. Watch it if appetite and spirits are normal. See a vet if it persists or comes with lethargy or weight loss to rule out FIP.
Cat frequents the litter box, produces little urine, and has blood in the urine
Frequent urination with little output and blood is a classic sign of urinary blockage, possibly from bladder stones, urinary tract stones, infection, idiopathic cystitis, or tumors. If the bladder is very full, seek veterinary care for catheterization and fluids.
Started licking its anus frequently a month ago, then began urinating randomly with occasional blood, and now has been bleeding continuously since today, also vomiting and crying in pain when picked up
Blood in a cat's urine is generally caused by urinary tract diseases such as crystals, stones, or urethritis. Because the cat is also frequently licking its anus, you should determine whether it is actually blood in the urine or in the stool.
One of my cat’s eyes suddenly turned gray and cloudy; is it sick and how to treat it
A gray, cloudy eye may be keratitis or cataracts. Keratitis causes tearing, pain, and opacity; cataracts cause a white pupil and vision loss. A full veterinary eye exam is needed.
