My 1.5-year-old male cat was locked in a room two nights ago and peed on the bed; since last night he keeps going to the litter box every 10 minutes but produces no urine. Still the same tonight. What should I do?
This is likely feline idiopathic cystitis, a common lower-urinary issue from stress causing frequent urination with little/no output, risking blockage, blood, even rupture. Get the vet to catheterize and give anti-inflammatory/mucosal-repair meds.
No eating or drinking, no vomiting or diarrhea, very sleepy since yesterday afternoon. Dark brown discharge around the nose and a little at the eye corners.
Not eating, lethargy, and increased eye/nose discharge resemble respiratory infection or feline rhinotracheitis. A PCR test at the vet is needed; late-stage rhinotracheitis can block the gut and be life-threatening.
It used to vomit hairballs occasionally. This time it first vomited something watery, then a few minutes later yellow-green liquid.
Yellow-green vomit may signal acute gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, or coronavirus. Prior hairballs suggest hair-blockage enteritis; see a vet and use antibiotics and probiotics.
Cat Has Diarrhea, Won’t Eat, Recurring Fever
These signs may be feline distemper or FIP, common infections. If unvaccinated, test at a vet; if confirmed, timely treatment usually needs hospitalization.
Cat Is Lethargic, Vomiting and Has Diarrhea
Causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, distemper or pancreatitis. See a vet; if not, use antibacterial, anti-vomit and anti-diarrhea meds with probiotics.
Cat Vomited Yellow Fluid, Now Lethargic, Shivering, Runny Nose
These signs may be diet, gastroenteritis, parasites or virus (distemper, herpes). Judge by diet, deworm and vaccine history; see a vet if unsure.
Came Home to Find His Eyes Won’t Open; Now They’re Red, Swollen, and Still Won’t Open
Red swollen eyes can come from irritants, keratitis, conjunctivitis, or feline herpesvirus. Check for debris, clean with saline, and use anti-inflammatory drops; see a vet if it doesn't improve.
How does a cat get pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis risks include obesity from high-fat diets, nearby organ infections like gastroenteritis or cholangitis, and other illnesses such as parasites, injury or poisoning that lower immunity.
Kitten under 2 months, just home today, lots of eye discharge, very clingy, wet nose, no runny nose.
Much discharge and half-closed eyes with a wet nose suggest blocked nasolacrimal duct, rhinotracheitis, eye worms, or eye inflammation. Short-nosed cats get blockages needing surgery; rhinotracheitis has more signs; worms need deworming; inflammation uses eye drops.
My cat has diarrhea with blood in the stool — is it because I recently changed its food?
Bloody stool can be parasites, indigestion, enteritis, or distemper. Recent food change likely caused indigestion or allergy; adjust diet, give probiotics, and transition food gradually. See a vet if it persists.
