Why has my hamster’s eye turned white?

Cat vomited five or six times and keeps going to the litter box; blood in stool or urine during heat?

My dog is sniffling, possibly chilled — ate this morning, drank at noon, now refuses food and wants to sleep, even when I pry its mouth open.

Based on your description, the sneezing, loss of appetite, and sleepiness may be a cold. Keep the dog warm and give pet cold medicine such as Punoshu and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, then watch for improvement. If symptoms persist or worsen, take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment.
Why do cats develop kidney failure?
There are many causes of feline kidney failure, commonly including urinary obstruction, improper medication use, old age, and poor diet. Symptoms typically include thirst, weakness, vomiting, and reduced urination. If you notice these signs, take the cat to a veterinary hospital promptly for a full examination to find the cause and provide targeted treatment, avoiding delay of the best treatment window. The cause and severity determine the treatment approach, so owners should never blindly medicate the cat, as this may cause unnecessary harm.
My cat keeps drooling, won’t eat, and has a white blister on the tongue with redness around it — what’s wrong?
Based on your description and the image, the drooling, refusal to eat, and tongue blister are likely caused by stomatitis, and the pale gums may indicate anemia. Take the cat to a veterinary hospital promptly for examination and treatment, checking for other issues and treating the cause. For ordinary stomatitis, use a pet antibacterial oral spray and anti-inflammatory medication. The cat also looks weak, so provide some extra nutrition and energy.
