Blood in urine, loss of appetite, only drinking water
A cat with blood in the urine that won't eat and only drinks water usually signals a serious health problem and needs immediate veterinary care. Blood in the urine can be caused by many issues such as a urinary tract infection, stones, kidney disease, liver disease, or food poisoning, and the specific cause should be confirmed through urinalysis, blood tests, imaging, and urethrography before targeted treatment is given. During treatment, nutritional support through a feeding tube or intravenous fluids may be needed to meet the cat's basic physiological needs.
What medicine can ease a dog’s epilepsy?
Under a vet's guidance, use sedatives like phenobarbital to reduce seizures by calming the nerves; treat secondary epilepsy's root cause. Also give nerve-support medicine, vitamin B12, and liver protectants. Follow the vet strictly.
My dog ate something with pure cocoa powder but no theobromine or caffeine listed – will it be poisoned, 4 hours later?
Cocoa powder contains theobromine and caffeine that over-stimulate a dog's nervous system; signs vary by purity. With 4 hours passed and no symptoms, give water and watch; seek care if heart rate or restlessness rises.
My spayed female dog is anorexic, lethargic, weak and vomiting yellow-green fluid; the wound drained pus and the belly is fluid-filled – what’s wrong?
The report shows limb inflammation, anemia and kidney/liver damage; with belly fluid consider FIP. Post-spay infection or sepsis is likely; hospitalize for liver/kidney support and antibiotics.

My cat vomited yellow fluid for 3 days, wouldn’t eat, then got an anti-inflammatory shot and improved; her ALT is 600+ and albumin/globulin ratio is low—what meds, can she eat prescription food, should I force-feed?
Serum ALT reflects liver health; high ALT suggests liver damage (FIP, fatty liver, hepatitis, bile blockage, toxin). Vomiting may relate to it, but stopping vomiting doesn't guarantee the level drops—needs full diagnostics. Besides treating the cause, support the liver and avoid hepatotoxic drugs; ensure nutrition once vomiting eases.

My cat was fine Saturday morning but by Sunday was diagnosed with kidney failure and won’t eat or drink—any way to treat or relieve symptoms at home? (Hospital is too expensive)
Per lab results, the cat's indicators are poor; kidney failure needs large-volume fluids plus medications, usually a long treatment. Two types: chronic (incurable, managed with diet) and acute (curable if treated timely; options: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, medical fluids). Treating at home without the hospital is unlikely to cure, especially with liver damage and low white cells/platelets—needs leukocyte boosters, anticoagulants, phosphate binders, liver protectants.
