I just found this kitten; first time owner, so I’ll describe what I see: one eye won’t open, maybe from eye discharge; grayish stuff around the nostrils; some fur matted; very weak; won’t drink milk or water; maybe one to two months old. Hope for a quick reply. Saving a life matters, for animals too. No bad smell except slight rear odor, occasional mild twitching.
One eye shut, no eating or drinking, occasional twitching in a young kitten may signal distemper or FIP. With many unknowns, a vet check is best; these diseases are very harmful and can be fatal without prompt treatment.
My Dog Was Run Over by a Car; First Day It Was Lethargic and Bled From the Nose When Hit, but Tonight It Started Drinking Water and Eating Meat – What Is Injured, and Is It Going to Be OK Now That It Eats?
Being run over easily causes bone and internal organ problems not visible to the eye; best to see a vet. Per description, lethargy and nose bleeding after impact - wipe blood, watch for more. Other injuries need examination to confirm. Some diseases show no immediate symptoms, so for safety see a vet promptly for treatment.
My kitten has been listless, not eating or drinking for two days, with abnormal stool and always sleeping, weak when it reacts
Not eating and lethargy are signs of illness needing a vet exam; with diarrhea, vomiting, or fever, an unvaccinated kitten may have distemper, and an undewormed one may have internal parasites; FIP, hepatitis, nephritis, or constipation also show this. See a vet.
Why does my rabbit bite its companion’s fur?
May just be grooming—normal. To avoid swallowing too much fur (hairballs), give hairball paste. If over-chewing, consider vitamin deficiency → wool-eating disease (trichophagia); supplement vitamins. Also, during heat or before birth, does may pull their own/companion's fur.
My unfledged bird took a bath, caught a chill, is lethargic, fluffed up, not eating, and has black droppings—what’s wrong?
After a bath, the bird shows lethargy, fluffing, anorexia, black droppings—likely a cold. Move it to a warm, quiet place; feed easily digestible food like rice powder and provide water. Clean cage regularly. If no improvement, use antibiotics.
My kitten’s left belly is bloated and it struggles to poop—is it overeating, constipation, or something else?
A bloated belly can come from overeating, fur-ball blockage, constipation (worse if it won't drink), or parasites (with diarrhea and poor appetite). Ease digestion with a gentle tummy rub and temporary fasting, feed digestible goat-milk formula and kibble, add probiotics or hairball paste, and use a kitten-safe dewormer. See a vet if it does not improve.
My dog’s skin around the mouth is pink, fur is thin, for a while, no scratching; is it a skin disease?
Thin fur and red skin around the mouth may be from unclean diet or secondary pathogen infection. Food and water residue left damp breeds bacteria, mites, and fungus causing redness and allergy. Check for dandruff or ringworm and do a cytology; clean after meals, deworm, and use antibiotics or antifungals. If a vet visit is hard, use a broad-spectrum oral spray and low-allergen food, keep the area dry, and use a collar.
I fed my dog a cola chicken drumstick (no bone, just meat) the day before yesterday; next day it was lethargic and just lay down, less active and ate much less; in the evening it walked a bit; third day more active and eating more, but it makes pre-vomiting motions and swallows/drools. At the hospital it got two shots and oral liquid; no more vomiting but still swallowing and smacking. What should I do? What parts does cola damage?
Cola chicken can harm health—caffeine and sugar are unhealthy; caffeine stimulates CNS and cardiovascular system causing lethargy and fast heartbeat, sugar causes gut upset, vomiting, diarrhea, so avoid cola foods. Your dog's lingering swallow/smack after improvement suggests digestive irritation, throat infection/swelling or oral discomfort; get blood and oral/throat/esophageal checks.
