Cat has thrown up yellow bile with foam once daily for 2-3 days, now slight soft stool but energetic – what to do?
Energetic with yellow bile and soft stool suggests acute gastroenteritis from bad diet/indigestion. Use pet GI anti-inflammatories and gut-restoring meds; if unvaccinated consider virus/parasites; see vet if no relief.
What is removed during a female cat’s spay surgery?
Spaying removes the uterus and ovaries. The best age is 7-8 months. The incision is below the navel and deep; prevent licking post-surgery.
Why does my cat have a few crusted patches on its skin?
Localized crusting may come from over-scratching, parasite bites, or bacterial/fungal infection, not ringworm. Check for parasites and deworm; clean with iodine and find the itch cause.
A Stray School Cat Has Had Stomatitis a Long Time; Now It Suddenly Started Sneezing
Stomatitis shows as mouth ulcers, red gums, drooling, pain, and low appetite; easing signs mean recovery, but no easing means wrong medicine. New sneezing likely means a chill and weak resistance, so warm it and add vitamins.
My Cat Has Low Spirits, No Appetite, Lies Still, and Has Brown Sticky Substance on Its Stool
Brown sticky stool may be upper gastrointestinal bleeding or indigestion from dark food. Try pet anti-inflammatories like cefadroxil, neomycin, or amoxicillin-clavulanate plus probiotics, and see a vet if no improvement in 1-2 days.
Cat trembles when lying down, worst on its back; spayed and had feline distemper before

My 6-month-old adopted stray cat was spayed, unvaccinated, and tested weak-positive for panleukopenia six days later with vomiting, diarrhea, no eating or drinking, and low spirits — can it be cured?
Panleukopenia has a high mortality rate, but with active treatment there is a fair chance of recovery. Take the cat to a proper veterinary hospital promptly and follow the vet's care instructions. As it is still in the early stage, timely treatment is critical. If symptoms ease after treatment, the cat is likely improving and has a good chance of full recovery.
After recovering from feline distemper and coming home, the cat ate and drank fine at first but now won’t eat, is lethargic, and has diarrhea
After distemper, the gut needs 1 week to 1 month to heal, so diarrhea is normal; feed bland, easily digested food or an intestinal prescription diet. Add probiotics, and if symptoms persist, see a vet.
My cat had an allergic reaction to the second vaccine, was desensitized, but allergic symptoms returned that night — what should I do?
If allergy symptoms persist or worsen after desensitization, take the cat to a vet promptly for further treatment and monitoring. This is urgent to prevent anaphylactic shock or death.
