Cat suddenly drools and shivers when touched
Drooling with shivering often means a chill; warm the cat and give cold medicine if it also sneezes. Poisoning, epilepsy or rabies can also cause this, so watch its spirit and appetite. Poisoning needs vomiting and detox.
Why does my cat poop and urinate everywhere?
Frequent causes are heat marking with urine, or illness making the cat uncomfortable. Watch for restlessness, rolling or calling; spay if no breeding is planned. If signs of sickness appear, see a vet.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis in dogs?
Dog hepatitis symptoms include lethargy, loss of appetite, weight loss, yellowed skin, weakness, difficulty standing, increased drinking and urination, vomiting, and diarrhea. Treat under a vet's guidance to avoid cirrhosis. Hepatitis is acute or chronic; chronic progresses slowly and may start with only poor spirits or reduced appetite before worsening.
My cat keeps meowing, especially in our bedroom, sometimes rubbing against me while meowing — not in heat — food and water are plentiful and litter is clean. Why?
Common reasons for frequent meowing include heat, injury, illness, anxiety, hunger, or seeking attention. Since food and water are sufficient, hunger is ruled out. Check the cat's appetite and stool for abnormalities, and inspect its body for wounds. If the cat's body, appetite, and spirits are normal, consider whether it is in heat or simply lacking attention and wanting interaction.
What are the symptoms of a fever in a Pug?
When a Pug has a fever, it typically shows an elevated temperature, weakness, loss of appetite, low spirits, and sleepiness, and is more easily tired than usual, preferring to lie still. If you notice these signs, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly to find the cause and provide targeted treatment. If a visit is temporarily inconvenient, you can first use physical cooling to relieve the fever.
Kitten seems hit by a car; nose bleeding, mouth kept open.
Nose bleeding after a hit may be nasal lining injury, mouth wound, or internal injury; clear blood to avoid blocking breathing. Watch gait, appetite, spirit; if lethargy, poor appetite, vomiting, limping, blood in stool, see a vet.
Seems a bit food-bound; ate grapes by mistake this afternoon, vomited in the evening — vomit had kibble, stool normal firm.
Vomiting after grapes is helpful to expel toxin; grapes are toxic. If little was eaten and it vomited soon with good energy, usually fine. If vomiting continues with poor spirit, see a vet to check kidney values and prevent failure.
Fed dried timothy and rabbit pellets morning; water untouched all day, some pellets left, afternoon hay untouched, lying still, once closed eyes.
The rabbit may be too full to move, or check for foot injury (they hop, so injury forces lying). Could also be coccidiosis, hairball, or other disease. Watch; if still inactive with poor appetite/spirit, see a vet.
My cat slept the whole time after a bath and won’t respond when called; is this normal?
Sleeping through after a bath is not quite normal—likely mild stress. Let it rest and watch its spirit/appetite when awake. If normal, fine; if poor, see a vet. Immunity drops after baths, so keep it warm and comfort it.
My cat frequently has blood in stool! Soft stool with blood at the end, but energy and appetite are good.
Soft stool with end blood but good spirit suggests parasites (giardia, coccidia, hookworm). Get a fecal test to identify the type. Hard-to-digest food can also bleed; find the cause first.
