I bought a cat from the market; it has had no appetite and looks lethargic, sleeping from morning to night. How can I tell if the cat is sick?
Cats hide illness well, so judge by: 1) sleep time - sick cats are more sleepy; if no other signs, keep watching, but two days of low spirits suggests illness. 2) Temperature - fever shows appetite loss, sleepiness, very dry nose, hot ears. 3) Less grooming, curling, or 'hen-squat' are signs. 4) Watch diet, stool, urine, and signs like vomiting, retching, cough, runny nose; if any, it is sick and needs a vet.
Why Is Your Hamster Lethargic, Sleeping Constantly, and Not Eating?
A new hamster may just be settling in or frightened; heat or illness (cold, gut infection, parasites, low sugar, injury) can also cause lethargy and appetite loss. Hamsters are nocturnal, so daytime sleep is normal - constant sleep with other symptoms means trouble.
Why Is Your Budgerigar Lethargic and Sleeping All the Time?
A budgie that is low on energy and sleeps constantly may be reacting to the weather, or it may be lacking attention or falling ill. Watch its eating and overall condition closely; if you spot abnormal symptoms, treat promptly to keep the problem from worsening.
Why Has My Cat Suddenly Stopped Sleeping in Its Bed?
If a cat that used to use its bed suddenly refuses, check for a strong or unpleasant smell, dirt, dampness, or a bed that has grown too small as the cat got bigger. If it never liked the bed, the material may be wrong for the season or the spot may be too noisy. Clean or re-site the bed, match the material to the weather, and place it where the cat already likes to nap.
What Happens If You Disturb a Sleeping Cat?
Disturbing a cat's sleep makes it uncomfortable and possibly angry, leading to scratching or mischief, and harms its health since cats need long, light sleep. Wake it gently if necessary.
How long until sleeping pills take effect in a cat?
Pet sleeping pills usually work within 20-30 minutes orally. Cat-specific sedatives must be used only under vet guidance; never give human sleeping pills, which cause acute poisoning.
A two-month-old Golden Retriever had mild diarrhea and no appetite yesterday but was energetic; today it eats well, coughs a bit, and after a shot its temperature was 39.5C. Since the shot it is listless and keeps sleeping.
With fever, cough, diarrhea and lethargy, if vaccines are incomplete and fever returns after a shot (biphasic fever), strongly suspect distemper; get an infectious-disease test and start antivirals early. After ruling out distemper and parvovirus, do a blood inflammation test; raised white cells or CRP suggests a respiratory infection from a cold, needing about a week of supportive care and warmth.
Has not eaten for two or three days, keeps sleeping and will not get up, passes yellow water and is incontinent.
Yellow watery stool, lethargy and no eating may be feline distemper, parasites, poisoning or gastroenteritis; take the cat to the hospital for fluids promptly. The cat is critically dehydrated and incontinent, and without electrolyte fluids it may suffer organ failure or death.
The rabbit was fine sleeping, then had diarrhea in the middle of the night.
Rabbit diarrhea can stem from improper diet, chills, or gut infection and parasites. Identify the cause before treating; fasting, warmth, probiotics, or veterinary care may be needed.
