My Hamster Sleeps Constantly, Is Weak, and Walks Slowly – Is It Dying?
Lethargy and inactivity are common signs of illness - see a vet. If not convenient, keep the environment warm and give glucose, watch for improvement. Hamsters are sensitive to temperature swings; if no improvement, seek care.
My two-month-old puppy vomited dog-food bits yesterday and was lazy with little exercise; I gave it cimetidine tablets yesterday and it still vomited today, and probiotics also made it vomit — it is throwing up the medicine. What is going on?
Based on your description, the puppy vomits frequently and still vomits after medication; do not keep giving it drugs to avoid further harm. Given its young age, infectious diseases must be ruled out first. Take it to a vet promptly; distemper and parvovirus are common and deadly, so timely treatment is key.
My kitten has formed but soft stools with blood, normal diet and good spirits; this started after a food change. It had digestive issues before and took probiotics, and recently keeps scratching itself — is it parasites or just a gut problem?
Based on your description, soft stools with blood after a food change in a kitten, combined with its history, mainly suggest food intolerance, but internal parasite infection cannot be ruled out. Stop the new food, return to the old, and give probiotics; see a vet if bleeding persists or spirits drop.
My one-and-a-half-month-old kitten ate at 6, vomited two hours later with sudden rapid breathing. Any first aid?
Vomiting with rapid breathing suggests digestive or respiratory issues; unvaccinated kittens need infectious-disease checks. See a vet promptly; if delayed, try pet anti-vomit meds then get full treatment.
My Hamster Has a Lump on Its Neck – What Could It Be?
A neck lump may be swollen lymph nodes, an allergic reaction to external parasites, or a post-injury cyst. Have a vet examine it to decide medication or surgery. Also, too much high-calorie food causes internal heat and neck lumps - avoid overfeeding calories.
Trembling, refusing milk, looking very unwell.
Trembling in a newborn puppy can come from cold, fright, pain, low blood sugar, neuritis, or viral infection. Warm it first; if it seems distressed, consider milk aspiration or illness and see a vet promptly.
My cat suddenly started sneezing continuously.
Sneezing can come from irritants, allergies, or respiratory infection. Clear dust and pollen from the environment; if there's a runny nose, keep it warm for a possible cold, and see a vet if it persists.
Not eating, no energy, and a damp mouth.
Not eating, low energy, and a wet mouth may come from heat, oral inflammation, or gastrointestinal inflammation; an infectious disease is possible if unvaccinated. Calicivirus can also irritate the mouth. See a vet promptly.
Since this morning, after eating cat food twice it vomited undigested food twice, then I withheld food, but it went on to vomit watery fluid with a trace of blood.
Vomiting undigested food then bloody water may indicate indigestion or gastric bleeding. Withhold food and water for half a day to a day, give pet anti-inflammatory and probiotics, and see a vet if there's no improvement.
Skin infection.
Red, hair-loss skin problems in dogs can come from bacterial or fungal infection, allergies, or parasites. Get a skin exam and targeted treatment; use antibacterials for bacteria, deworm for parasites, and an Elizabethan collar if it scratches.
