Could my cat’s stomatitis be from dust in a new bed or from a chill?

My kitten has seasonal runny nose, sneezing, thick yellow-green mucus, drooling and eye discharge but normal energy – can doxycycline help?

My kitten has nasal discharge it cannot clear, is uncomfortable and low in energy – what’s wrong?

I rescued a stray cat; it has yellow diarrhea with a farting sound, very foul smell, pale lips and paw pads, trembling tail when walking, and eats very little. What’s wrong?
Pale lips and paw pads in a cat can signal anemia or panleukopenia, both more likely in strays with poor nutrition and high infection risk. The diarrhea also suggests a gut problem. Take the cat to a vet for a thorough check, and consider a blood transfusion if severely anemic.

Cat has sat hunched for a week, not afraid of people, weak, eyes barely open, not eating, skinny to the bone – what could it be?

Why does my cat keep vomiting its kibble?
It may be the food (spoiled or low-quality), eating too fast or too much, or disease (gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, panleukopenia, parasites). See a vet if other symptoms appear.
