Stool was dry when first home; after some wet food it got a bit loose; does this count as diarrhea?
From the photo, the stool is loose and unformed; if spirits and appetite are good, it may be indigestion from wet food, common in cats with weak guts or new food. First fast and withhold water 6-12 hours and give pet probiotics, then slowly return to the old diet, avoiding sudden changes or new foods. If diarrhea continues, check parasites and gut flora at the vet.
My cat’s eyes water, it is sleepy and listless
Watery eyes may come from eye disease, internal heat, conjunctivitis, or respiratory disease like rhinotracheitis or calicivirus; screen for upper respiratory infection. If the diet is heating, switch to lighter food. Sleepiness may mean internal inflammation; take its temperature, and if listlessness and appetite loss persist, seek emergency blood and virus tests.
What are the symptoms of a dog’s pancreatitis relapse?

What can a Labrador eat to reduce internal heat?

What is the condition of my cat’s gums and teeth? Is it a disease and how should I handle it?
The photo shows inflamed gums. Signs include red swollen gums, reduced appetite, difficulty chewing, and bad breath, usually from bacterial or viral infection, diet, poor dental care, or other disease. See a vet dentist early for diagnosis and targeted treatment; vet-approved anti-inflammatory drugs and oral spray help, plus daily brushing.
Cat vomits clear mucus and is listless

My dog keeps vomiting and has diarrhea; it seemed better two days ago with formed stool, then suddenly started having diarrhea and vomiting again
Repeated vomiting and diarrhea can come from diet, toxins, parasites, gut dysfunction, or viruses. Check the food first; if normal, see a vet. If care is delayed, the illness worsens. Pet antibiotics may help temporarily.
Thought it was eye inflammation, but a white fleshy strip came out connected to the eye; is it inflamed eyelid or a foreign object?
The white material is likely conjunctival tissue from conjunctivitis, given the tear stains and eye discharge. Keep the diet light, clean the eyes, and use pet anti-inflammatory drops.
Doni’s right eye half-closed since afternoon, discharge and tears, only on that side; wondering if ear mites from shared cage
Eye closure and tearing have many causes including heat, irritants, and eye inflammation, not necessarily ear mites. Check the ears; if clean, ear mites are unlikely.
Kitten recently eats very little and stools are very dry
