Cat dropped and shaken by a child two months ago, threw it; these two days not eating kibble but drinking goat milk, slowly improving – what might be wrong, will it suddenly die later?
A fall can cause external, bone, internal, or nerve injury. If eating, drinking, and behaving normally, rest and observe. Get X-ray/CT and ultrasound to rule out serious damage; sudden later death may come from brain bleeding or nerve compression.

At what age can a dog be given internal and external deworming?

What to Do When Your Cat’s Temperature Drops to 37°C
A normal cat temperature sits between 38.5°C and 39.5°C, so a reading of 37°C is below the healthy range and worth taking seriously. The right response depends entirely on the cause. Sometimes it signals a weak or sick cat that needs warmth and a vet; other times it is a normal, expected dip just before labor. Here is how to tell the difference.
Symptoms and Removal of External Parasites in Turtles
Turtles do get external parasites, most often ticks and mites. On their own these pests do little direct harm, but they still need to be removed. An infested turtle may itch, develop rashes, and show diarrhea, weight loss, and poor appetite, and left long enough a heavy load can even be fatal. The good news is that good husbandry prevents most cases, and an established soaking routine clears an active infestation. This guide explains the signs to watch for and the practical steps to treat and prevent external parasites.

How often should a pet cat be dewormed?
An adult pet cat is usually dewormed internally every 3 months and externally every month, but shorten internal intervals if it eats raw meat. Good living conditions and little outdoor time may allow longer external intervals. Dose internal medicine strictly by weight to avoid poisoning, and apply external drops where it cannot lick or use an Elizabethan collar.
