What happens if a cat has teeth extracted?
Extracting a few teeth for looseness, pulpitis, or broken roots does little harm, but the cat may feel clear pain for 2-3 days and eat less; a few days of pain medicine restores appetite. If all teeth are removed, recovery is longer and only soft food is possible, but with good diet and oral care it lives normally.

Why Do Dogs Develop Osteochondrosis?
Osteochondrosis in dogs is linked to genetics, rapid growth, and body weight, as well as the overall health of the joints. Fast-growing, heavy puppies are the most likely to develop it.

My cat had feline distemper 10 days ago and was given IV fluids and a blood transfusion, but now it still has diarrhea. Why, and what can I do?
Diarrhea can persist after distemper if parasites or bacterial enteritis are present, or because antibiotics disrupted the gut flora. Probiotics and a gastrointestinal prescription diet are recommended, with follow-up testing.
My 14-year-old cat stopped eating 3 days ago; tests show kidney failure. How serious is it?

Cat Trichomoniasis: Soft Stools, Diarrhea, and What to Do
Cat trichomoniasis is caused mainly by Tritrichomonas foetus, a protozoan that lives in the large intestine and triggers colitis — think frequent soft, bloody stools. It spreads easily via the fecal-oral route, so isolate sick cats and disinfect. The main treatment is ronidazole plus gut support; most cats recover within 2 years.
