Convulsions with a purple mouth may be low blood sugar, low calcium, seizures, coccidia, or poisoning; stiffness suggests death. Check temperature and heartbeat; no breath at the nose confirms death.
My donkey has diarrhea and pants after shots
For donkey diarrhea, inject cefotaxime, oxytetracycline, or gentamicin, plus probiotics and smecta. Post-shot panting may be allergy, low blood sugar, or bloat; observe and offer fresh water and fodder.
My cat with cat flu cannot stand
Cat flu with inability to stand may be fever and low blood sugar; give a little glucose and urgent IV fluids to avoid dehydration. Isolate it (cat flu is contagious) and disinfect; lysine boosts immunity.

Not eating during heat is common; offer palatable food like cans, chicken, eggs, but avoid too much high-fat/sugar/protein as it lengthens heat. Keep clean, use a diaper outside to avoid mounting.
My dog vomited foam and food residue at night and barely eats

My rabbit is suddenly lethargic, unsteady, and eating less
Lethargy, unsteady stance, and reduced appetite can come from low calcium, low blood sugar, enteritis, parasites, or cold/uneaten food. Give glucose and easy-to-digest food; see a vet if no improvement.
My dog ate the chewing gum I was eating
Check the gum's ingredients and induce vomiting. Xylitol can cause low blood sugar, liver damage, or death, needing emergency vet care. Without xylitol and no symptoms, watch 1-2 days.
