My cat has yellow nasal discharge, for over 20 days
If only nasal discharge with no cough or sneeze, it may be a nose-limited infection and fungal infection should be watched; take a sample to the vet. Upper respiratory infection or feline rhinotracheitis also cause yellow discharge, and with sneezing and tearing it is likely an upper respiratory infection. After so many days, see a vet to confirm and treat to avoid complications.
My dog started coughing last night, then retching, then vomiting clear sticky fluid with white foam; stool not loose but a bit black; gave anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, and probiotics; still coughing and vomiting about every ten minutes, sometimes productive, sometimes not
Coughing up white foam is usually phlegm from a respiratory infection caused by chills, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, or chronic bronchopneumonia; retching may be throat discomfort or gut infection. Have the vet diagnose the cause; if not, try doxycycline for cough, plus pet anti-inflammatory, and keep warm. If weak, poor appetite, lethargic, or feverish, check the lungs and rule out contagious disease.
After the first shot of the four-in-one vaccine, can a cat get the three-in-one?
The four-in-one already covers the three-in-one plus chlamydia, so a separate three-in-one is usually unnecessary. Switching is not conflicting, but test antibodies after.
My dog is energetic and eats well, normal outside, but started with dry/spasmodic cough, dry heave, slightly dry stool, now dry heaving, partly dry stool with some powdery bits, and sneezing
Cough, dry heave, and sneezing may be a respiratory infection producing phlegm; give doxycycline and an expectorant, keep warm, and ensure water. Many causes (bronchitis, pneumonia, heart disease) exist, so see a vet if symptomatic treatment fails.
My dog had two episodes of no appetite and foaming at the mouth, then a coughing fit—what’s wrong?
Repeated poor appetite, lethargy, and foaming plus new coughing may signal disease or viral infection. Possibilities include digestive, viral (distemper/parvo), or respiratory issues, all needing a vet exam.
My cat has white eye discharge and now clear runny nose for two days
White eye discharge with clear runny nose suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis from herpes, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, among other respiratory causes. See a vet for eye drops, anti-inflammatory and antiviral care, and keep air fresh.
Is it normal for cattery cats to all have eye discharge because the owner is too busy?
It is generally not normal for all cattery cats to have eye discharge, and you should rule out respiratory infections like feline herpesvirus or calicivirus. A proper cattery is clean, since dirt lets pathogens thrive and harms the cats.
Reduced appetite, normal stools, gurgling with nasal sounds, occasional rapid breathing, no sneezing, normal mood
A cat's gurgling breath with runny nose usually means an upper respiratory infection. If from a cold, give cold medicine; untreated it can become pneumonia.
Symptoms and Management of Asthma in Dogs
Dog asthma ranges from a dry cough and gasping to rapid breathing, fever, and a fast heartbeat; a purple tongue means rush to a vet. It can't be cured, only controlled with vet-prescribed medication and a daily yeast tablet, while avoiding smoke, perfumes, and hard exercise. Prevent it with a thinner summer coat, airy clean bedding, regular bathing, a low-salt diet with some pork (vitamin B), and avoiding pollen-heavy walks.
Why Does a Cat Breathe Loudly (Heavy Breathing)?
A cat's loud breathing can be normal a relaxed cat purrs and breathes heavier but if it comes with other signs the cat is likely ill. Causes: relaxation, flat-faced breeds, nasal objects, simple congestion, cold or URI (sneezing, runny nose), feline rhinotracheitis or virus (cough, tears, fever), or long-term rhinitis. Clear mild cases; see a vet for cough, tears, or fever.
