How to treat feline herpesvirus?

Yesterday the stool was dry with blood at the end; today it’s soft stool, end with blood; what is it?
Soft stool with blood at the end may be food intolerance or indigestion causing hemorrhagic enteritis. Parasites like giardia or coccidia that common dewormers miss are also possible. Some gut bacteria or viruses like coccal enteritis or panleukopenia cause bloody stool. If the cat eats and acts well, try pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, gut-mucosa recovery, and adsorbent anti-diarrhea meds. If no full recovery after gut care and fasting, take it for fecal, blood, and infectious tests.
Dog poisoned, day 4, pulmonary edema and shock, woke then shocked again, body limp; any hope?
From your description, the dog's current state has little chance of recovery; further treatment depends on the reported vital signs and the vet's advice.

Can a puppy whose intestines were pushed out by a car be treated?
A car accident pushing the intestines out can still be treated, but it is hard and lengthy and needs immediate hospital exam and surgery.

Follow the vet's wound care until discharge.

Feline panleukopenia is viral; cure rate depends on the cat's condition, immunity, severity, and treatment. Adult cats have a much higher cure rate than kittens, and vaccination plus good condition raise the odds. With proper early treatment, the cure rate is 70-90%; later treatment about 40%.
What should I do if my hamster stops moving?
A still hamster may be in pseudo-hibernation from cold or fright. Warm it up, keep things quiet, and it should recover in about ten minutes; then give a little glucose. If there is no breathing or heartbeat and the body is stiff, it has likely died - judge by the scene and its history.
