Why Is My Cat Crying Tears, and How to Fix It?
Cats can tear up for many reasons — eye inflammation or infection, irritation from fur or dust, a blocked tear duct, or internal heat from a dry diet. Most cases improve with care, but persistent or infected eyes need a vet.
My cat vomited yellow fluid for 3 days, wouldn’t eat, then got an anti-inflammatory shot and improved; her ALT is 600+ and albumin/globulin ratio is low—what meds, can she eat prescription food, should I force-feed?
Serum ALT reflects liver health; high ALT suggests liver damage (FIP, fatty liver, hepatitis, bile blockage, toxin). Vomiting may relate to it, but stopping vomiting doesn't guarantee the level drops—needs full diagnostics. Besides treating the cause, support the liver and avoid hepatotoxic drugs; ensure nutrition once vomiting eases.

What to Do When a Turtle Has Diarrhea
Normal turtle poop is firm and dark; diarrhea is watery, formless, and may be green. Stop feeding first, keep temperature steady, and observe. For land turtles, add fiber; if it persists, use oxytetracycline or berberine. Preventing diarrhea means clean food, stable temperature, and probiotics. This article covers causes and care.
It passed jelly-like, bloody stool and is listless; what is this and how to treat it?
Bloody jelly stool in a turtle is usually gastroenteritis from water temperature, water quality, or diet. Keep it dry-warm at 25-30C, offer clean water, and see a vet; injectable gentamicin per weight if needed. Drug dosing is critical.
My cat suddenly lost energy, then vomited, and keeps vomiting blood.
Sudden lethargy and vomiting blood suggest gastric mucosal bleeding (foreign object, ulcer, acute bleeding); if free-roaming, consider toxin like rat poison causing bleeding, lethargy, convulsions. Get to a vet for infectious and blood tests, possibly endoscopy; give anti-emetic, hemostatic, and fluids meanwhile.
