My three-month-old kitten had chicken-breast cat food for the first time today; this afternoon it started twitching its nose, possibly coughing about five or six times, but with no discharge and good spirits.
Nose twitching after eating chicken-breast cat food may just be from eating too fast and choking—keep observing. If it persists, it could signal a respiratory infection, pneumonia, heart disease, or blood parasites, needing a vet check. Also avoid overfeeding favorite foods to prevent rapid eating and choking.

My dog over 4 months old has worse cough and dry-retching at night and after exercise or a bath, for over a month; meds and 4 days of injections did not help, but spirits and appetite are good.
Cough and dry-retching may be from respiratory infection or esophageal foreign-body obstruction. Your case is more likely a foreign body; see a vet. Respiratory infection responds to amoxicillin-clavulanate and anti-cough herbs; an esophageal foreign body must be removed.
My cat ate fish the day before yesterday, then vomited white stuff, has low spirits, no eating or drinking, keeps sleeping, and now drools.
Vomiting, not eating, low spirits, and drooling after eating fish suggest digestive and oral problems. Too much fish causes indigestion and acid reflux. Fish bones may injure the mouth. Check the mouth; if no abnormality, it is likely a digestive problem.

The hamster feeding babies may have mastitis, formed a black patch, now the black patch broke and you can see the hamster’s flesh. How to handle this? The hamster is in good spirits, eats and drinks and runs, and keeps feeding the babies. Is it life-threatening?
Hamster mastitis shows as hard, red, swollen nipples, sometimes with pus. Untreated it can cause sepsis and death. See a vet. After the scab breaks, clean and disinfect; prevent babies from touching the wound. If confirmed, the mother may need to stop nursing.
