Why Is My Cat Sticking Out Its Tongue?
A cat sticking out its tongue is often normal — cooling off (cats sweat poorly), grooming mid-play, or dazing. But it can also signal oral disease (with drooling, breathing trouble), oxygen lack after hard exercise, or poisoning. See a vet if it comes with other odd symptoms.
My dog sometimes vomits after eating something else or a chew stick, sometimes undigested food, sometimes white foam, but no other problems. What’s going on?
Frequent vomiting may signal chronic gastritis, pancreatitis, liver disease, or parasites, which make the gut sensitive to new food. See a vet; if it's a puppy, weak digestion may be the cause. Use probiotics and avoid extra foods.
How to Remove a Tick from a Dog?
Apply alcohol or tick medicine to numb the tick, then pull it out with tweezers or a tick tool. Clean the wound with soap and water, dry it, apply antibiotic ointment, and prevent ticks with regular deworming.
My Cat Had Yellow Sticky Discharge at 8 PM Two Nights Ago, Nested at Midnight, Brown Discharge Last Night; When Will She Give Birth?
This likely shows waters broke around midnight; labor usually starts within half an hour to an hour. If no contractions after 2 hours, suspect dystocia and get checked. Prepare towels, pads, disinfectant, thread and scissors.
A kitten over a month old was fed one-third of a cat stick the last two days; today it refused the stick, and after dinner was found by the litter drain looking unlively. An hour later my boyfriend found it dying; we couldn’t take it to a vet and it passed, then water dripped from its nose. Could the cat stick have caused this?
Nose fluid after death may be from post-mortem fluid loss, viral infection or pulmonary edema, or prior heavy drinking with pressure on the body. The cause cannot be confirmed from this alone; a vet exam would be needed.
My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.
I Always Fed Timothy Hay, but Ran Out; From Monday Night to This Morning I Gave Fresh Grass, Vegetables, and a Small Pack of Rabbit Pellets. Yesterday Afternoon It Ate Less, but Was Active at Night; This Morning It’s Lethargic, Lying Down, Not Eating, Tiny Sticky Smelly Droppings, Very Yellow Urine
Likely digestive disease from diet change or fresh greens. Poor appetite and lethargy = illness. Fast the rabbit, give little or no water, feed probiotics or lactase to regulate flora; then gradually return to old food, avoid greens and fresh grass. If no recovery, vet fecal exam for parasites or flora.
Could my hamster have wet-tail disease? Its stool sticks to its body and smells, and it sleeps at night
Wet-tail shows as damp, dirty, foul tail base, watery stool, lethargy, slow movement, squinting eyes; with these, see a vet. From the photo the stools are still formed, so watch closely—if energy is okay, try gut probiotics, warm the room, and add toys; it should slowly recover.
My dog had vomiting, no appetite but drank water; after shots it stopped vomiting and eats, but now urine is sticky with blood, urethra seems clogged with mucus, very lethargic, unsteady, belly bloated.
Sticky bloody urine has many causes: drug toxicity, urethral infection/inflammation. Given prior vomiting/no eating, also consider kidney problems—older dogs easily get kidney failure. Get a vet check for the cause and targeted treatment.
My cat keeps sticking out its tongue, drooling, won’t eat, and is listless
Drooling and not eating in a cat may be from oral disease such as stomatitis or mouth ulcers, or pharyngitis. Early pharyngitis shows slow eating, later difficulty eating, drooling, vomiting, pharyngeal congestion, and pain. For pharyngitis, give pet-specific anti-inflammatory medication and soft or liquid food; for stomatitis, use a pet oral antiseptic spray and address the cause with good care.
