My cat keeps sneezing with heavy nasal discharge.
For feline rhinotracheitis, mild cases get lysine and anti-inflammatory medicine plus antiviral eye drops and nutrition at home; severe cases need a vet promptly.
My spayed cat’s wound area is whitish, transparent, and wet.
The photo shows the wound is infected; see a vet for cleaning and antibiotic powder, keep it dry with a collar, and possibly anti-inflammatory shots if severe.
My cat has a foggy, unclear film over one eye. What could it be?
A foggy eye can be conjunctivitis, uveitis, ulcer, or cataract. Rinse with saline and use pet antibacterial eye drops; see a vet in 2-3 days if no improvement.
My cat trembled and stopped eating after half an albendazole tablet. What should I do?
Trembling and no eating after albendazole may be overdose or allergy; the dose is 25-50 mg per kg. If within range, suspect allergy; see a vet promptly.
My cat ate a bit of the treat pouch while eating and just vomited a lot.
The photo suggests the cat may have vomited the swallowed pouch; check the vomit. If out, give gut medicine; if not vomited or passed, get an X-ray and remove it at the vet.
What if my cat keeps licking a burn wound?
Licking a burn wound risks infection and slows healing; use a collar, and for serious burns see a vet for cleaning, antibiotics, and possibly bandaging.
What happens if a cat does not defecate?
Not defecating from weak gut motion, low water, or blockage causes pain, bloating, and lethargy, and may lead to megacolon or chronic toxicity. See a vet if prolonged.
My cat ran out, came back with diarrhea-matted fur, then hid and now has a bare, raw spot at the rear. What is it?
The photo only shows hair loss at an unclear spot, so the cause is hard to judge. See a vet; meanwhile use a collar and clean with saline.
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.
Why is there little hair and very short whiskers around my cat’s mouth?
Hair loss around the mouth can come from fungal or parasite infection, allergy, or vitamin deficiency. A Wood's lamp or skin scrape confirms fungus; a vet visit helps if unsure.
