Why is my dog having yellow mucus and not eating?
Yellow mucus and no eating have many causes; respiratory infection is common with runny nose. Virus, bacteria, or fungus can also cause it. Sinusitis brings yellow mucus with a foul smell. If symptoms persist, see a vet promptly.
My cat coughs once or twice and sneezes a few times daily, no eye discharge; what medicine?
From your description, a coughing cat with phlegm, nasal congestion, and sneezing suggests a respiratory infection, but feline herpes or calicivirus cannot be ruled out. Screen at a vet and treat by cause. If a visit is hard, give oral respiratory medicine at home and watch for improvement; if none, see a vet.
My dog has no energy
Sudden low energy may be psychological (environment change, fright, food change) or physical (gut upset, respiratory infection, virus, other internal disease). Observe at home for other signs; if diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or no improvement, see a vet.
New dog had dry nose, harsh cough, cool ears, soft stool
A new dog with dry nose, harsh cough, and cool ears may not just have a cold; suspect distemper or kennel cough. Many pups come from messy breeding with disease, sometimes suppressed by stimulants so they look fine, then crash in days, the so-called weekend dog that often dies within 7 days. Screen for viruses first; if only a cold, use doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
My 5-year-old male cat had a urinary blockage before and now coughs with low spirits
A coughing cat with poor spirits may have a respiratory infection from cold, mycoplasma, chlamydia, or virus. Take it to a vet. If a visit is inconvenient now, try a pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory to ease symptoms, and watch for improvement.
Since yesterday it has been sneezing constantly, three or four at a time, with clear nasal fluid spraying out; otherwise in good spirits and eating well
Constant sneezing can be from irritants (dust, pollen), allergy, or disease. Move the cat or clean the air; if only sneezing with normal spirit, check for nasal objects. If it persists or other signs appear, see a vet.
Rabbit Cold Symptoms and What to Do
Like other animals, rabbits can catch a chill from temperature changes or bacterial infection and rarely recover on their own. Here are the symptoms of a rabbit cold and how to help.
Cat has breathed poorly and coughed with runny nose since coming home; improved shortly after. A few days ago weather changed severely, then it ran a fever (39.8 C rectally). Four days ago it stopped eating and drinking, hid, no stool or urine, and at night vomited pale-yellow watery fluid with a faint fishy smell. Cephalosporin prescribed.
The report alone can't confirm a diagnosis; further PCR for respiratory/coronavirus, ultrasound, X-ray, and bloodwork are advised. With yellow vomit, fever, and breathing trouble, rule out FIP first; coughing suggests upper-respiratory infection.
Why does my cat sneeze frequently?
Frequent sneezing can come from respiratory infection, allergies, or irritants. Viral or bacterial infection irritates the nose and is often accompanied by nasal discharge, needing cold medicine or antibiotics.
My dog vomited its food, won’t sleep, trembles and twitches, ignores me, and whimpers—what is wrong?
Vomiting with abdominal twitching has many causes: painful or infectious disease (pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, parvo) where whimpering means pain—see a vet fast; or distemper with vomiting and twitches (neuro form shows lethargy and fever; respiratory form runny nose and cough; enteric form vomiting and diarrhea). All need a vet; home treatment fails and severe cases may be euthanized.
