Common Natural Live Foods for Ornamental Fish

My cat acted oddly after work—normally lively but last night motionless, refusing food/water, licking genitals, crying, repeatedly in the box with no result, even hissed at me. I thought constipation and gave probiotics; this morning one black hard stool, still crying with airplane ears.
Black hard stool means constipation, but check for urine—no pee suggests dangerous urinary blockage needing catheterization. With anorexia and crying it's more than constipation; see a vet.
Dog had fever and refused food, then after an antipyretic shot eats and is lively but still warmer than usual with very red eyes — what can I give?
After the shot the dog may not have fully defervesced or is relapsing. A vet visit to find the cause is best; treat any underlying disease. If you cannot go, try amoxicillin or a dog fever reducer plus cooling, and see a vet if fever returns.
Puppy raised at home about 5 days, was lively, but today suddenly weak and not eating; at 6:30 a.m. vomited thick white watery fluid, very fishy, not foul. Noon no vomit. Afternoon vomited yellow thick undigested food. Gave a little probiotic. At night vomited fishy, foul-smelling white thick liquid.
Vomiting has many causes (indigestion, foreign objects, gastritis, ulcers, infections). Fast half a day if only vomiting, then feed bland food and probiotics; see a vet if it continues.

Recipe: Chicken Liver Powder Cat Food Topper
Chicken liver powder is a natural topper that makes homemade cat meals more appealing. Slice 500 g of fresh chicken liver and dehydrate it at 68 °C for about ten hours (use a mesh silicone mat for the first few hours), let it cool, then grind it into a fine powder. Store it in a sealed jar in a cool, dry place and stir about one teaspoon (5–10 g) into meals each day. Liver should be only around 5% of a cat's diet, so a little goes a long way.
