My cat started vomiting in the afternoon, occasionally at first, now constant, and its tongue turned purple
A purple tongue suggests lack of oxygen or poisoning—dangerous. See a vet at once; give oxygen if hypoxic and detox if poisoned, while finding the vomit cause for full treatment.
My cat has diarrhea but good energy, vomited once last night, first vomit, blood test shows coronavirus positive
Coronavirus positive with vomiting and diarrhea suggests the disease has developed. Use interferon to block viral replication plus immunity boosters, and see a vet for interferon shots and symptomatic meds (anti-inflammatory, anti-vomit) for diarrhea and vomiting.
Please help, my cat started vomiting after a B-ultrasound at the hospital the day before yesterday
Vomiting yellow fluid and white foam is usually gastritis from irregular/oily diet or hard-to-digest food; blockage, pancreatitis, enteritis, or panleukopenia also possible. If unvaccinated, screen for viruses; if energy is good, fast and give pet anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory meds, but see a vet if vomiting persists.
My cat was treated for urinary blockage, now drinks but won’t eat, urinates daily, but vomits white foam when I syringe water and can barely walk, just squats
Not eating and vomiting point to a digestive problem, and constant squatting suggests belly pain; urinary blockage can lead to kidney failure. See a vet for tests and IV fluids; kidney failure needs urgent fluid and liver support or it is life-threatening.
My cat came back from two days outside and has a lump and a small wound on its back
A back lump can come from irritated or infected sebaceous/cyst glands, dampness, or poor diet. The photo is blurry, so watch it, clean the wound with iodine, and see a vet if the lump grows. A post-vaccine lump that fades is harmless.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid, not eating, and not defecating
Vomiting yellow fluid with no eating or bowel movement is mainly a digestive issue, from diet, chills, or infections like panleukopenia, coronavirus, blockage, hairballs, or parasites. Try pet antibiotics and probiotics; if no improvement, see a vet.
What medicine should a dog with heart disease take, and what precautions and long-term care are needed?
Dog heart disease is incurable and usually needs lifelong medication under a vet's guidance, such as pimobendan and benazepril. A cardiac prescription diet and avoiding strenuous exercise help protect the heart.
My cat walked and ran fine a few days ago but keeps falling down today
Unsteady walking can come from low blood sugar, calcium deficiency, bone, or nerve issues. Long fasting causes hypoglycemia needing glucose water; calcium deficiency or joint disease also cause instability. Persistent unsteadiness needs a vet.
My Sphynx cat has many bumps on its neck
From the photo alone the skin condition cannot be confirmed, so take the cat for a skin scraping and stained microscopy at a vet. Infectious skin disease worsens if untreated, so prompt diagnosis and treatment prevent spread.
My cat keeps urinating and defecating on the bed and has been eating less lately
Sudden bed soiling with reduced appetite may be a stomach problem or heat. Check the stool for abnormality and see a vet if needed. During heat, extra play and interaction can redirect the cat's attention.
