My kitten is trembling all over, won’t let me touch it, is uninterested in food, and keeps convulsing—what’s going on?
Constant convulsions and trembling have many causes and are usually critical, needing immediate emergency care and testing. It may be an untreated disease or severe infection (panleukopenia, FIP) causing shock with low temperature, trembling, poor appetite, and convulsions; or poisoning from swallowed toxins with no warning; or low blood sugar from poor diet or gut issues; or nerve problems like epilepsy or brain disease. All need a vet; watch kittens closely and treat early.
What can an Angora ferret not eat?
Angora ferrets cannot eat high-sugar foods like chocolate, desserts, and biscuits, nor high-fat foods. They are very sensitive to sugar, which easily causes indigestion and, in excess, diabetes, so meat jerky is a good treat. They need high-protein food, but too much fat causes heart problems and obesity, so feed scientifically.

My two-month-old Shiba Inu, just bought, cannot stand on its hind legs and keeps lying down.
Many causes exist for a dog not standing; get X-rays, blood, and infection tests at a vet for fast diagnosis. It may be calcium deficiency (common in pups/seniors), low blood sugar, or dehydration from severe illness. It can also be nerve, bone, low temperature, poisoning, or infection; see a vet.
