Two days home and only urinating, no stool
A cat may not defecate after moving due to stress; build security with a quiet comfy space and soothing, feed easily digestible soft food and water plus probiotics. If still no stool, see a vet for the cause of constipation.
How is it to keep a Boxer?
Boxers are lively, friendly, loyal companions, good for home life. Bred originally to hunt boar and deer, later cattle dogs, and shaped with the Bulldog in the 1800s; used as police, guide, and guard dogs. But they're large and need ample exercise space—unsuited to small homes.
How do I care for a puppy born 10 days premature?

I brought a kitten home the day before yesterday; it had no symptoms but vomited at night
Cats in a new environment often get stress vomiting/diarrhea; give a comfy space to adjust. Watch for other symptoms; if none, usually fine. Let it be alone for security. Check diet—feed its old food, then slowly change.

What happens if the litter box is too small?
A litter box that is too small can prevent a cat from turning, squatting, and burying waste comfortably, disrupting elimination. It may also cause litter to be kicked out and, in some cases, lead the cat to refuse the box and urinate around the house.
New hamster has had diarrhea for two days, wet tail, yellow stool, sluggish, not eating
Frequent diarrhea may be gastroenteritis or wet tail disease, marked by a wet, dirty, smelly tail and dull eyes. Use antibacterial medicine and keep the cage clean to stop infection.
I can’t wash it off with water; suspected bath sand but it appeared days before using bath sand; won’t come off by wiping
From the photo, the hamster's wet tail with white grains may be feces, suggesting wet tail disease. Treat with antibacterial medication and keep the environment clean.
My 3-month-old kitten just came home; its belly is large and hard, it has not eaten, drunk or used the litter for hours, and it dry-retches with low energy – why?
A hard, swollen belly with dry retching may indicate indigestion or a gastrointestinal blockage from constipation, a foreign object or parasites. Offer warm water with probiotics and a quiet space, and see a vet if it does not improve.
My kitten’s first bath was followed by heavy panting and drooling; the vet said pulmonary edema. It has had six shots and 9.5 hours of oxygen and is still on oxygen at home.
Pulmonary edema is serious with hard breathing and fever; oxygen is essential, and a quiet space eases heart-lung burden. Drugs like aminophylline and furosemide help but follow the vet.
