My kitten fell from the third floor and keeps bleeding from its nose. What should I do?
For a fallen cat with nosebleed, rush to a hospital for detailed exam. Bleeding may be internal (lung rupture)—dangerous; or from nasal mucosa/palate from the fall—check mucosa/palate, use gauze to stop severe bleeding (if stopped, less serious). If bleeding + poor appetite/lethargy, urgent hospital for hemostatic/pain shots; after 48h, normal eating/spirit = out of danger.
My unfledged bird took a bath, caught a chill, is lethargic, fluffed up, not eating, and has black droppings—what’s wrong?

Bloody, jelly-like stool may be acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral infection. Normal spirits suggest early stage—see a vet promptly.

What happens if a Chow Chow doesn’t get sunlight for a long time?
A Chow Chow that doesn't get sunlight for a long time may face these problems: 1. UV light in sunlight helps synthesize vitamin D; lacking sun leads to vitamin D deficiency, which affects calcium absorption and causes osteoporosis and poor bone development. 2. Sunlight helps keep the coat color better; without it the coat may become dull and coarse. 3. Long-term lack of sunlight may lower the Chow Chow's immunity, making it more susceptible to disease. 4. Sunlight helps regulate mood, so without it the Chow Chow may become low-spirited and depressed.
I found a kitten about seven weeks old. I’ve fed it ‘wowo’ brand cat food for three weeks, but since last night it has been retching and vomiting undigested kibble and some liquid, about 8-9 times; tonight it has no appetite and won’t drink, but is still playful, looks pale, and sometimes growls.
There are many reasons a kitten may vomit - it may be gastrointestinal symptoms from improper feeding or indigestible food, and if it hasn't been vaccinated or dewormed, parasitic or viral infection cannot be ruled out. Generally, if the kitten is in good spirits, you can first withhold food and water for observation, and during this period give it some pet probiotics and an acid-suppressing antiemetic such as Puoxidin or probiotics. But if the vomiting does not improve or tends to worsen, it is recommended to take the kitten to a veterinary hospital promptly for examination and treatment.
My cat eats, drinks, and jumps around fine – it just hasn’t pooped in two days, and its urine is normal.
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) comes in two forms, wet and dry. Wet FIP mainly shows symptoms such as difficulty breathing, weight loss, and an enlarged abdomen; if a male cat is affected, scrotal swelling may also appear. Dry FIP mainly shows fever, weight loss, cloudy eyes, and granulomas in the abdominal cavity. The cat may also show poor spirits and lethargy. FIP is a fairly serious disease that can lead to death. Therefore, if you notice the above symptoms in your cat, it is best to take it to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Based on your description, the cat only has the symptom of not defecating, which is very likely caused by constipation - it is recommended to give it more water and an appropriate amount of probiotics.
