What to do if a cat cannot open its eyes?
From the photo the injury extent is unclear. Trauma needs a vet; simple eyelid swelling can be treated with a cone and antibiotic drops.
My cat’s belly grew large within a week, it keeps getting thinner, the abdomen feels firm not fluid-filled, still active but defecating less, occasionally loafs, no fever, clear eyes, eats less kibble but still wants human food. Is it FIP, ascites, or indigestion?
A swollen belly with overall weight loss can come from an intestinal blockage, gas, or ascites. Blockage and gas cause hard abdomen and reduced stool, while ascites may indicate FIP or low-protein liver effusion - only a vet exam can tell for sure.
My three-month-old kitten had chicken-breast cat food for the first time today; this afternoon it started twitching its nose, possibly coughing about five or six times, but with no discharge and good spirits.
Nose twitching after eating chicken-breast cat food may just be from eating too fast and choking—keep observing. If it persists, it could signal a respiratory infection, pneumonia, heart disease, or blood parasites, needing a vet check. Also avoid overfeeding favorite foods to prevent rapid eating and choking.
A one-year-old unneutered unvaccinated tabby; a big box fell on its head during moving; since then odd, quiet, dull; small city can’t check
Head injury with dementia-like signs may be brain nerve damage; see a vet for professional care. If unable, follow vet advice with neuro drugs, but prognosis is poor if incomplete. Since it eats normally, daily life is usually unaffected.
My hamster fell and keeps bleeding from the nose and squeaking – will it die, how do I save it?
Nose bleeding after a fall means serious injury; take it to a vet at once and stop the bleeding. Internal injury is possible, so get a full check.
My cat breathed in heavy smoke, and days later coughs, breathes poorly and no longer meows – what’s wrong?
Coughing and loss of voice after smoke inhalation suggest a respiratory problem that needs veterinary diagnosis. Seek professional treatment soon to avoid worsening.
My cat pees little but a lot at once, cries at night, and squirted urine when wiped. What is wrong?
Reduced urination may be low water intake; incontinence suggests a urinary issue. Frequent odd urination needs a vet check to find the cause.
A 5- to 6-month-old kitten ate raw chicken, vomited for half a week, and now will not eat or drink and throws up after eating.
Vomiting and appetite loss after eating raw chicken suggest gastritis from poor digestion or parasites. A vet check is best; at home, broad-spectrum antibiotics and gut-recovery meds may help.
My dog started vomiting its food yesterday, is unsteady, trembling, shaking its head, had soft and loose stools, and has not eaten all day. No blood. What is wrong?
Vomiting, unsteadiness, trembling, loose stools, and refusal to eat may be enteritis from a blockage or serious diseases like distemper or parvo. Prompt vet testing is important.
Suddenly rolls on the floor frequently and whimpers, but no mating posture when I pat the rear; then suddenly bolts and screams.
This does not look like heat; females in heat howl at night, cling, raise tails, and smell strong. Rolling then bolting may signal neuritis or discomfort; a vet check is needed if it persists.
