My cat won’t eat, is listless, and keeps lying down
A listless, anorexic cat may be sick. Offer palatable foods like warmed canned food, rehydrated freeze-dried, or cat treats; keep it warm to avoid respiratory infection; watch stool/urine/temperature and see a vet for runny nose, sneezing, tearing, fever, or elimination changes.
What causes a cat’s eye to bleed
A bleeding eye may be trauma from a collision or a fight, or diseases like keratitis and conjunctivitis with tearing and discharge. Seek a veterinary exam for symptomatic treatment.
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.
My cat has low appetite, sleeps a lot, abdomen moving, noisy breathing – what could it be?
Those signs may mean a respiratory infection, heart disease or FIP. Watch for runny nose, pale mucous membranes or a growing belly, and see a vet to confirm.
My cat has one pupil smaller than the other, with brown tears, and rhinotracheitis that improved on doxycycline and amoxicillin – what now?
Uneven pupils at night may be light or genetic and harmless if normal by day. Brown tears can be irritation or infection; have a vet confirm. After improvement, stop doxycycline and avoid over-medicating the liver and kidneys.
I think my cat cannot hear any sound – what should I do?
First test if it truly cannot hear or is ignoring you, using pots, cups, keys or paper. No reaction needs a vet ear check; earwax, chronic otitis or drum damage from bad cleaning or drugs can cause deafness.
My cat’s left eye will not open and tears heavily with bad tear stains – what’s wrong?
Tearing and a shut eye suggest conjunctivitis, possibly with secondary bacterial infection from unmanaged stains. Clean with saline and use pet eye drops; see a vet if other signs appear.
What are the symptoms and treatment for a cat’s cold?
Cat cold signs can come from cold air, bacteria, or herpes/calicivirus. Mild cases need warmth and nutrients; severe cases need pet cold medicine and possibly a vet.
My pet has been tearing for four days and the eye is red and swollen since today.
Tearing and swelling from scratching need an Elizabethan collar and saline rinses, then antibiotic eye drops two to three times daily. If it doesn't improve or other signs appear, see a vet.
Eyelid redness, tearing, lots of discharge, sneezing since yesterday; energy and appetite normal, stool normal. Almost a week of saline washes and Pfizer eye ointment at onset; better for a day then red/swollen again.
The photo suggests conjunctival edema, inflammation, and mild corneal ulcer, possibly bacterial or herpesvirus. Bacterial cases improve with antibiotic drops, but long duration suggests virus. Get a vet eye exam for targeted treatment.
