My dog keeps coughing, cannot close its mouth, has foam around the mouth, a slight fever, poor appetite, and trouble opening its left eye — what illness is this?
Based on your description, the persistent cough is likely a respiratory disease or distemper virus, and the foaming at the mouth also suggests a digestive issue or food poisoning. If unvaccinated, distemper is more likely and needs a vet test and treatment.
My cat is having convulsions, rolling its eyes back, breathing rapidly with its mouth open — what should I do?
The above symptoms usually point to a serious health problem requiring immediate first aid and a trip to the vet to find the cause. Convulsions with eye-rolling suggest poisoning or epilepsy; rapid open-mouth breathing indicates severe oxygen deprivation.
One-and-a-half-month kitten foamed at the mouth and vomited; taken for a shot and meds, no improvement, then diagnosed with panleukopenia at the vet, on IV fluids for 7-8 days, still eats nothing, slight bloody stool, empty gut
Panleukopenia attacks the gut lining and causes loss of appetite and ongoing vomiting, so early treatment withholds food and uses IV nutrition to prevent dehydration. The vet gives symptomatic care plus leukocyte boosters, interferon, and panleukopenia monoclonal antibody. Once vomiting, diarrhea, and blood stop, feed small amounts of liquid high-protein food and appetite-stimulating injections.
My cat was motionless and crying, now motionless and silent, limp when picked up, eyes open and mouth open
Motionless limpness can come from poor nutrition, anemia, low blood sugar, dehydration, poisoning, or nerve/brain issues. See a vet at once; the worsening state is urgent and life-threatening without prompt care.
After the mother cat picked up the kitten and accidentally dropped it, the kitten went limp, breathes with its mouth open, and twitches from time to time
Hello, based on your description, after the fall the kitten shows limpness, mouth-breathing, and occasional twitching; this is mainly considered to come from chest injury, lung bleeding, or nerve damage, and the kitten may also have a fracture. It is recommended to take the kitten to a veterinary clinic promptly for a full physical exam. The exam should include an X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, and blood chemistry, to determine the kitten's injuries and apply the right treatment.
My turtle is floating and keeps breathing with its mouth open—is this pneumonia, and should I soak it in amoxicillin?
Floating and mouth-breathing don't rule out pneumonia. Severe pneumonia shows side-floating, open-mouth breathing at surface, audible breathing, blocked nostrils, refusing food/water. Cold or enteritis can also cause these. Consult a vet to confirm and treat appropriately.
My baby rabbit this morning kept twitching for no reason, then its mouth kept opening and closing while its limbs didn’t move—what’s wrong?
Twitching can signal heatstroke, low blood sugar, epilepsy, or brainstem oxygen lack; an opening/closing mouth is labored breathing. Move it to a ventilated, quiet, comfortable spot, give glucose water, and provide hay, pellets, and clean water. Watch 1–2 days; if no relief or it recurs, see a vet.
A one-week-old kitten suddenly started opening its mouth and crying and kicking its legs for no reason, and the umbilical area keeps bleeding (because it was cut a bit short)
If a newborn kitten is bleeding because the umbilical cord was cut too short, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. If pressure doesn't work, inject a hemostatic drug and apply a powdered anti-inflammatory hemostatic medication locally, then bandage — for example, crush pet-specific amoxicillin clavulanate into powder and apply it for its anti-inflammatory effect. During this time, watch the mother cat and don't let her lick the kitten's wound. If the kitten's symptoms don't ease or other abnormal symptoms appear, take it to a vet promptly.
Why do cats pant with their mouth open?
Cats pant in many situations: when nervous or afraid it is a warning, when in pain it may relieve discomfort, and when defending territory it deters threats. Poor socialization can also cause it.
Cat hasn’t eaten for two days, keeps drooling, mouth won’t open, no strength. Vet X-ray said stomatitis and throat inflammation; two days of IV helped dehydration but nothing else. Still no strength, drooling, no response.
Stomatitis has various causes (injury, bacteria, viruses) needing differential diagnosis via blood and virus tests. Treat with antibacterial spray, oral/IV anti-inflammatories, or antivirals.
