How is a puppy’s digestive system
A puppy's digestion is weaker than an adult's before 3 months because the gut is immature. Feed milk or puppy formula under 45 days, easily digested mush 45 days-2 months, and puppy/adult kibble after 3 months in small frequent meals.
My hamster has large red skin patches and wet fur after fighting with another hamster
If hamsters fight and injure their skin, clean and disinfect the wounds to prevent infection and aid healing. Separate the hamsters, rinse with saline, and apply a hamster-specific skin spray.
My dog has vomited yellow foam for half a month and was told it has chronic distemper; it still vomits and is weak – what should I do?
Confirmed distemper needs antiviral monoclonal antibodies and interferon, antibiotics for secondary infection and symptomatic care. Early antivirals help; see a proper clinic.
My cat has been coughing for half a year and vomiting blood for the past month – what could be wrong?
Coughing followed by vomiting blood with otherwise normal appetite and energy can stem from a lower respiratory infection, a foreign body, parasites or a tumor. A full veterinary workup is needed to find the cause.

Relapse a month after recovery usually means treatment was incomplete; stopping too early lets the virus replicate. Low immunity and poor nutrition after infection also trigger relapse.
Red spots on dog’s body, scratching, hair loss at wound sites, low energy, slight trembling

Dog Suddenly Breathing Fast and Heavy From Chest and Belly

My 6-month-old adopted stray cat was spayed, unvaccinated, and tested weak-positive for panleukopenia six days later with vomiting, diarrhea, no eating or drinking, and low spirits — can it be cured?
Panleukopenia has a high mortality rate, but with active treatment there is a fair chance of recovery. Take the cat to a proper veterinary hospital promptly and follow the vet's care instructions. As it is still in the early stage, timely treatment is critical. If symptoms ease after treatment, the cat is likely improving and has a good chance of full recovery.
