My Corgi is fairly fat; last night it was fine on a walk, but this morning it suddenly can’t walk and is trembling a bit
Sudden inability to walk has many causes, possibly neurological or skeletal disease: neuritis, distemper aftereffect, patellar luxation, hip dysplasia. Without distemper-like symptoms, rule that out. Also possible low blood sugar or low calcium, plus brain injury, blood clots, or intervertebral disc disease, often from trauma, aging, or obesity, causing lower-limb numbness and walking difficulty, even incontinence or muscle wasting. Any case needs examination; see a vet promptly.
My kitten vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
Why does my new dog have a runny nose and dry cough right after arriving home?
Runny nose and dry cough after arriving may be stress from the new environment or a cold from cold surroundings. Keep it warm and give cold medicine; if eye discharge, vomiting, or diarrhea appear, test for distemper. Treat contagious disease at the vet promptly.
My cat keeps being listless, vomiting and having diarrhea, and hides in corners by itself.
Listlessness with vomiting, diarrhea, and hiding may reflect gastroenteritis, infectious disease, or parasites. Spoiled food or swallowed objects can trigger it, as can a lack of deworming. Persistent signs warrant prompt veterinary diagnosis.
My two-month-old puppy sneezes and has clear nasal discharge but normal appetite and energy; is it a cold, what should I do, does it need medicine?
With normal energy and appetite, clear sneezing discharge may indeed be a chill or cold; pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine plus warmth and nutrition can help. Observe 3-5 days, and if it worsens or fever appears, rule out distemper or kennel cough at the vet.
My kitten has been listless, not eating or drinking for two days, with abnormal stool and always sleeping, weak when it reacts
Not eating and lethargy are signs of illness needing a vet exam; with diarrhea, vomiting, or fever, an unvaccinated kitten may have distemper, and an undewormed one may have internal parasites; FIP, hepatitis, nephritis, or constipation also show this. See a vet.
The seller said my kitten could drink pure milk; I gave some, and now it has diarrhea for two days—what should I do?
The diarrhea is likely lactose intolerance from the milk. If the kitten is energetic, stop the milk (and high-protein food), fast half a day, and give an anti-diarrhea medication and probiotics; resume easy-to-digest food in small meals. If other signs appear, it may be parasites, enteritis, or distemper—see a vet.
I just rescued a stray cat; it won’t eat or drink, looks weak, and sometimes passes bloody water—what is wrong?
A stray cat that won't eat or drink and has bloody stool may have an intestinal scrape, parasites, a virus, or poisoning. See a vet for a fecal test or other exams to find the cause.
My dog’s left side keeps trembling with head-nodding for 5 days and it vomited yellow foam—what is wrong?
Trembling with head-nodding and vomiting may point to canine distemper in unvaccinated dogs, causing nerve and digestive symptoms; such seizures are often reversible but the virus can be deadly. Brain injury or poisoning are other possibilities, so a veterinary screening is strongly advised.
Several village dogs died recently (2–3 years old); my dog (under 1) played with them and now won’t eat, got thin, can’t walk steadily. First-time owner, don’t want to lose him—he’s my grandma’s best companion.
Symptoms (poor appetite, weight loss, lethargy) suggest serious disease; hard to pinpoint. Unvaccinated + contact with dead dogs → likely infectious (distemper, parvo, corona), usually fatal. Take to a vet urgently for virus tests first, then treat. No hospital nearby → nearest vet station, experienced vet for 3 days of meds.
