My injured cat will not eat or drink – how can I help?
Low appetite after injury is often pain; offer tasty food it likes and keep it company to boost appetite, or use NSAID painkillers. Watch the wound for poor healing or infection and see a vet if so.
My blue cat walks with a slight limp but is otherwise fine – what should I do?
A limping fold-eared cat can take glucosamine and chondroitin with vitamin D3 or calcium to ease joint pain, but this only slows the inherited disease. For clear pain, a little NSAID helps.
What happens if a cat’s leg is fractured?
A fracture causes pain, limping, deformity and aversion to touch, and risks poor healing or infection if untreated, even death. Get X-rays and fixation or surgery.
My cat has reduced appetite, sits in a loaf position and occasionally vomits – what’s wrong?
The loaf position usually means abdominal pain from gastritis, FIP, liver disease or hairballs. See a vet to find the cause; dehydration and refusal to eat need fluids.
How can I stop my cat from urinating inappropriately?
Inappropriate urination can come from heat, health issues, a dirty litter box or habit. Clean the box, rule out urinary disease, and spay if not breeding.
Why does a cat get interdigital dermatitis?
Interdigital dermatitis comes from injury, damp paws, bacteria, parasites, or allergy; early signs are red swollen toe gaps with pus, later ulcers and hair loss. Treat locally or with antibiotics.
My rabbit won’t eat and lies down circling in pain
Could be calcium deficiency, epilepsy, poisoning, ear mite infection, or coccidiosis. Ear mites cause itchy ears, frequent hind-leg scratching, possibly severe; may cause ear inflammation (redness, discharge), odor, hair loss—visible on check, treat with ear cleaner and antiparasitic. If ruled out, see vet.
What are the symptoms of cat intestinal blockage?
Blockage shows no eating, lethargy, vomiting, belly pain, low activity, and hard stools. X-rays find cause and site; early cases get enemas, severe ones need surgery.
My cat stopped using the litter box and is aloof after heat. Why?
Post-heat behavior shifts as hormones stabilize, so less clinginess; strong territory marking (urine) may become a habit needing retraining. Long heat risks reproductive disease; see a vet if other signs.
What happens if a cat gets urinary stones?
Urinary stones cause frequent, scanty, painful, or bloody urination and can fully block the urethra. A full bladder risks belly swelling and toxicity; catheterize and treat by stone type.
