I want to ask, if we don’t do surgery, how long can it live, and will it be in a lot of pain?
From the X-ray, the cat's femur is fractured; without surgery it will likely be lame but not life-threatening. Surgery heals well in about a week; without surgery, use conservative care, though recovery is slower and more painful.
Spirits are fine, just watery stool. What medicine is good?

My turtle has mucus in its nose, sometimes breathes through its mouth and sometimes its nose, and sometimes breathes through the nose but then opens its mouth for big breaths after.
A turtle with nasal discharge and rapid breathing is likely a cold or pneumonia from low temperature or big swings. Keep it warm, control the temperature difference, and hold around 28°C — key to recovery. Add penicillin or streptomycin to the water for soak treatment.
At first I saw redness in the eye, searched online and thought it was white-eye disease, used eye drops; after 1–2 weeks the eye was no longer red, but a yellow transparent bump appeared on the eyelid. After applying the drops it shrank a bit, but one morning after putting it in water and taking it out at night it turned white, then yellow again after drying. Is the white-eye disease unhealed or a leftover symptom?
Based on your description, the turtle likely still has white-eye disease and is not cured. Typical signs are bloodshot, swollen eyes, white corneal discharge, and inability to open the eyes. Change water often and apply an antibiotic eye ointment like erythromycin. Medicate and change water frequently to keep it clean and help recovery.
My dog has gallbladder hyperplasia; our local vet says no treatment is needed. What should I do?
The ultrasound shows a thickened, hyperechoic gallbladder wall, possibly with sludge or stones, but ultrasound cannot tell the nature or cause of the hyperplasia; guided needle sampling and blood tests are needed. If the dog is young with severe hyperplasia or mucocele, gallbladder removal is best, then long-term meds, diet, and rechecks with good prognosis. Keep regular light meals, less greasy meat, more low-fat digestible food. Older, suffering dogs may need conservative care or euthanasia per the vet.

My dog’s foot is red and swollen with pus bumps; what is going on?
Redness, swelling, and pus bumps suggest interdigital dermatitis or pyoderma; one wound even has maggots, meaning deep infection. See a vet; possible bone injury from trauma. Use an Elizabethan collar, clean, disinfect, drain pus, and keep dry; supplements help recovery.
