Found a stray kitten a few days ago—eyes watering, thin, small, both eyes swollen; no vet in my small town
From the description and photo, the cat likely has conjunctivitis and conjunctival edema, with mild bacterial infection from constant tearing. Clean with pet eye wash, apply antibacterial drops, and use an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching. Wipe discharge and keep dry during treatment.
What makes a good dog food?

What should I do if my cat has a fever and is weak?
Take its temperature; if normal, it may have just exercised—let it rest. Over 39.5 C is a fever, from colds, pneumonia, etc. Start with physical cooling; if it persists, use fever reducers and watch for other signs. Long or additional symptoms need a vet.
Is this a Scottish Fold?
Scottish Folds have ears folded forward in an arc, unable to stand. From the photo the cat has upright ears, so it's not a Fold. It's likely an American Shorthair, with a clear M mark on the forehead and a round, large head with full cheeks.
My dog stole and ate a lot of raw sashimi this morning, and it had many bones

My dog’s eyes turned white and there are white clumps in the fur; today the eye went white
White eyes usually mean keratitis or cataracts. From the info and photo, it is likely cataracts, a common age-related disease with cloudy eyes, blurry vision, gray or white pupils, pain, tearing, high pressure, even blindness. Get a vet check; cataracts need surgery like lens implant or phacoemulsification.
I am buying a pet; is this a mixed breed, a Bichon, or a Teddy?
Bichons and small white Teddies look alike and are hard to tell apart. From the photo, the body looks more like a Bichon but the muzzle more like a Teddy, and mixed blood is possible. To confirm breed, check the parents and pedigree. Either way the looks are good; if the price is fair, health is fine, and vaccines are complete, it is worth considering.
My dog has no energy
Sudden low energy may be psychological (environment change, fright, food change) or physical (gut upset, respiratory infection, virus, other internal disease). Observe at home for other signs; if diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or no improvement, see a vet.
