My cat is 7-9 months old, had loose stool two days ago, became lethargic and refused food yesterday, vomited twice last night, and was found hiding in the yard this morning — what could be wrong?
Based on your description, the cat's symptoms of loose stool, lethargy, vomiting, and loss of appetite are mainly considered to be caused by gastroenteritis. You can withhold food for half a day and give the cat anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and gut-regulating medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, bismuth subcarbonate tablets, and pet probiotics. Once the symptoms ease, feed the cat easily digestible food. If there is no improvement after medication, promptly take the cat to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment to rule out any underlying disease.
Dog is coughing but has no runny nose
Many diseases can cause coughing in dogs, including respiratory infections, pharyngitis, lung abscess, bronchopneumonia, and distemper. Owners can first observe whether the dog's urination and defecation, energy level, and appetite are normal; if everything is normal, there is likely no major problem and it may simply be due to weather changes. At the same time, carefully check the dog's throat for any foreign objects. If the cough is severe, promptly take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment.
