My 2-month-old cat has red, swollen eyes with frequent eye discharge
Red, swollen eyes and excessive eye discharge in cats are often caused by conjunctivitis, keratitis, or herpesvirus infection. Simple conjunctivitis or keratitis can be managed by cleaning the eyes and using pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drops.
Why does my cat shiver during heat?
Cats in heat usually do not shiver, only show lordosis; light trembling can follow excitement. Frequent shivering is abnormal; see a vet to find the cause.
Cat vomited once last night (yellow sticky fluid) and once this morning (undigested kibble and meat)
Vomiting undigested food is usually overeating or eating too fast. Fast it half a day, give probiotics, then feed on a schedule. See a vet if no improvement.
My cat was hit a few days ago, now refuses food and is much thinner
Blurry photo, but not eating and weight loss after injury may mean wound infection. See a vet to stop worsening; long starvation can threaten its life.
Why is there blood near my pregnant cat’s anus?
Check whether blood comes from the anus or vulva. Anal bleeding suggests hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, parasites, or trauma; vulvar bleeding in pregnancy may mean premature labor or impending birth. See a vet if it continues.
My cat roams everywhere; not sure if it is ringworm, what medicine to buy?
Hard crusts and dandruff suggest bacterial or fungal infection. Get a skin scrape for diagnosis. If a vet is inconvenient, shave and clean the spot, then use antifungal or antibacterial medicine.
My cat vomits yellow-brown fluid; is the cat food too poor in quality?
Vomiting has many causes beyond food: indigestion, intolerance, bacteria, parasites, liver/gallbladder disease, panleukopenia, or foreign bodies. If spirits are fine, fast and give probiotics; see a vet if it persists.

The patch may be ringworm or inflammation darkening the skin. Get a skin scrape to confirm; if ringworm, use antifungal medicine. See a vet for a clear diagnosis.
My cat stole a Shuanghui sausage and ate the wrapper and metal ring
Swallowing the wrapper and ring is dangerous. Watch 2-3 days to see if passed, but the ring rarely comes out alone. See a vet for endoscopy to remove it if not passed or if signs appear.
My silver shaded cat moved from city to countryside and is lethargic, sitting in the litter box for long periods, urinating only a little each time
This suggests feline idiopathic cystitis, often from stress after a move. Give more water, ease the stress with comfort or calming supplements. See a vet if no relief.
