How is a kitten with herpes virus treated?
A herpes virus infection is quite dangerous in kittens and can easily be fatal without prompt treatment. If a kitten is infected and shows symptoms, use antiviral medication, antibiotics, lysine, and anti-inflammatory eye drops promptly, and have a vet guide the treatment.
My cat secretly ate three pieces of mochi – what will happen? (Urgent)
Mochi is mainly glutinous rice flour with many additives; after eating it a cat may get indigestion and, in severe cases, gastroenteritis or kidney strain. Watch for any discomfort and seek veterinary care if symptoms appear. Withhold food temporarily to ease the digestive burden.
Skin disease
From the photo, the dog has a bald spot with pus, mainly considered infection. See a vet to identify the infection type. If a visit is hard, clean the area with saline and apply erythromycin ointment; if no effect, stop and see a vet.
Cat vomits clear mucus and is listless
Vomiting clear mucus with low energy can stem from diet, poor digestion, or infection leading to gastroenteritis. Try pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and anti-vomiting meds at home; see a vet if it persists or worsens.
A 50-day-old puppy vomiting mucus, not eating, eyes discharging pus, no bowel movement, urinates once a day, moans in sleep, face swollen, body skin very hard. Is this parvovirus or something else?
Vomiting mucus, not eating, pus from eyes, facial swelling, and hardened skin are serious; take the puppy to a vet at once or it may die. Cause can't be judged from symptoms alone; poisoning or infection possible. Get tested.
My cat is making gurgling noises and has no energy
From the photo, the cat's fur is sticky and its mental state is poor, suggesting it is sick with a fairly serious condition. Take it to a vet promptly for examination and targeted treatment. Without a confirmed cause, no treatment advice can be given, and delay could endanger its life.
No energy, vomited, won’t eat
Dog vomiting has many causes: gastritis, intestinal blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, viral disease, liver/gallbladder disease. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper or parvovirus. See a vet for tests; if infectious, use antivirals promptly. If just enteritis, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic shots plus a light diet for a few days usually recover.
Lying still all the time, breathing heavily
A cat that is lethargic and breathing hard may have respiratory disease, infection, hereditary conditions, or parasites; a single symptom can't confirm cause. A weak kitten may have caught a chill. See a vet for diagnosis.
My dog keeps sneezing
Sneezing and a runny nose are usually a respiratory infection. If energy and appetite are fine, try pet anti-inflammatory and cold medicine such as amoxicillin/clavulanate or doxycycline. Avoid baths and air conditioning. If fever, appetite loss, or lethargy appear, see a vet to rule out distemper or other viruses.
My Cat Is a Stray I Adopted in March 2022; Never Vaccinated or Neutered. Now That It Sprays and Yowls and There’s a Toddler at Home, Is It Too Late to Vaccinate Then Neuter? Will It Still Spray After Neutering? Higher Risk of Feline Panleukopenia After Neutering?
For safety, it is best to vaccinate and build immunity before neutering, since immunity dips afterward and infection risk rises. Even without vaccination, a health check is required before the procedure. Have a vet examine the cat first, then follow their advice.
