My kitten is about three months old. For the last three or four days it has stopped eating and drinking and is getting thinner, though it will eat a bit of cat treat paste. Its eyes are red with discharge, it’s drooling and sneezing.
Based on your description, your kitten has contracted some disease or infection. There are many causes for red eyes, increased discharge, drooling, sneezing, reduced appetite, and lethargy - common ones include feline rhinotracheitis caused by the herpes virus, calicivirus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, other pathogen-caused respiratory diseases, stomatitis, and feline infectious peritonitis. It is recommended to take the kitten to a veterinarian promptly for examination and diagnosis. The vet can determine the kitten's health through a physical exam, blood tests, and other necessary checks, and provide corresponding treatment. While waiting to see the vet, make sure the kitten stays warm, dry, and comfortable, provide clean drinking water and soft food, and clean its eyes and nose regularly.
My cat is 20 days post-birth and hasn’t eaten for three days, with nasal discharge and watery eyes
Not eating, yellow nasal discharge and eye discharge suggest a respiratory infection, usually from cold. Keep it warm and give cat-specific cold medicine from a proper source; never human meds, or pneumonia may follow. Feline rhinotracheitis virus causes similar signs; if vaccinated, that cause is unlikely.
My rescued two-month-old kitten is on and off lethargic, barely eats, and has discharge, watery eyes, sneezing and open-mouth breathing
A kitten with sneezing, open-mouth breathing and poor appetite likely has a respiratory infection from pathogens like herpesvirus, calicivirus, mycoplasma, chlamydia or Bordetella, causing discharge, rapid breathing and cough. Stray kittens are weak and often virus-infected; don't self-treat when unwell—take it to a vet promptly.
A shepherd dog brought from Shandong; it was fine when it arrived at a factory with steel, bricks, and cement, but recently it has teary eyes, some redness, a runny nose, retching (dry cough?), and diarrhea. It doesn’t look well; please help.
Watery eyes, retching, and a runny nose suggest a respiratory infection. If unvaccinated, also consider distemper, adenovirus, coronavirus, or mycoplasma/chlamydia infection. Usually the dog carries a viral disease and, after the move and the stress of a new environment, its resistance drops and the virus flares up. Prompt vet testing is advised.
Is my cat catching a cold?
From the photo the cat has a runny nose and tearing, suggesting an upper respiratory infection, bronchitis, or feline rhinotracheitis. Typical signs are sneezing, coughing, and rapid breathing; causes include chills, poor husbandry, or herpesvirus. Bacterial cases use amoxicillin-clavulanate plus warmth.
My cat is coughing, weak, and has flat (airplane) ears since midnight
Coughing with white foam and weakness may signal a serious respiratory infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, allergic asthma, or heart disease, and needs urgent care as it can worsen fast. Viral or bacterial infection and heart disease causing exercise intolerance are common causes.
What are the symptoms of canine parainfluenza?
Typical: fever, cough, runny nose, sneezing, lethargy, anorexia. Airborne, contagious; isolate and see a vet. Mainly infects puppies, acute/severe/fast-spreading; get pups to a vet fast.
A stray cat with a black face and pus from the eye corners
From the photo, heavy eye/nose discharge and black face likely result from bacterial, fungal or viral (mixed) infection. Strays are usually unvaccinated and prone to respiratory disease; chronic discharge causes crusting and blackening and eye pus—test for herpes and calicivirus. Fungal infection causes hair loss, crusts; clean with saline and apply cat antibiotic eye drops/ointment, and use an Elizabethan collar.
My cat’s eyes are a bit red, a bit cloudy and hard to open
Red, cloudy, hard-to-open eyes may be conjunctivitis or keratitis from irritation, allergy, bacteria or virus. If the cat is otherwise well, fit an Elizabethan collar, wipe discharge with saline, and apply antibiotic eye drops (e.g., neomycin sulfate) 3-5 times daily; keratitis needs recovery drops or artificial tears. If no improvement in 3-5 days, see a vet.
Is this puppy having a rabies outbreak? Please see the video.
There is no video content here, and a single video alone cannot confirm whether a dog has rabies. To diagnose rabies, you can make a preliminary judgment from clinical signs and further analyze antibody titers in the dog's cerebrospinal fluid.
