My cat has had a continuous fever for three days, with two shots and one dose of fever medicine, but it isn’t better. No diarrhea or vomiting, eating normally. It seemed better this morning but was feverish again this afternoon. What should I do, is it a fever or something else?
Recurring fever usually means internal inflammation, possibly from blood parasites, FIV, or dry FIP. A full vet workup including bloodwork, biochemistry, virus screening, and imaging is needed to find the cause, and immune deficiency can also be a factor.
The spot where I put the band-aid in the picture keeps leaking milky white fluid, like breast milk, and it won’t stop.
Constant discharge from a cat's belly is likely a deep wound infection, worsened by covering it with a band-aid. Fit an Elizabethan collar to stop licking and take the cat to a vet for cleaning and antibiotics, since a band-aid only traps the infection.
My one-month-old kitten was bought 6 days ago and was fine, but suddenly became listless, walks slowly, is sleepy, and has mild diarrhea — what’s wrong?

My dog has a small broken bump on its head; how should I treat it?
From the photo, there is a small bump on the dog's head that has broken open, but it is unclear whether there is pus. Clean it with saline, disinfect with iodine, and apply anti-inflammatory ointment; if it feels soft or protruding, see a vet for drainage.
Kitten drooling, coughing up blood, swollen gums, scratching its mouth, difficulty eating.
Based on your description, drooling, swollen gums, and difficulty eating mainly suggest stomatitis. Take the cat to a vet; severe cases may need tooth extraction plus oral anti-inflammatory spray. If only gingivitis, clean the mouth and use oral spray.
My dog keeps coughing and wheezing. What should I do?
Coughing and wheezing can be from a cold, bronchitis, or pneumonia. If no other symptoms, keep it warm and give cough medicine for a few days. If no relief or other symptoms appear, see a vet.
These two days the stool is a bit soft with watery stool and a bit of blood, but spirit and eating are normal. Yesterday after defecation there was watery stool like the picture, this morning I did not feed kibble. What is the problem, a bit worried.
Soft stool has many causes: indigestion, kibble intolerance, gastroenteritis, viral infection, and parasitic infections. Recall diet changes. Avoid overeating. If persistent or other symptoms appear, see a vet.
