I just got a new kitten last week, and the person I got her from had 4 cats that gave birth. One of their cats kittens would always die, from every litter it ever had, and one of the symptoms that those kittens would get, is they would start getting little bald patches. When my kitten first came home, she was perfectly fine. On the second day she was here, I noticed that she was sneezing every few minutes. A few days later, I noticed a little bald patch on one of her paws, and then I noticed a slightly bigger bald patch on her chest. She also has two smaller bald patches on two of her toes on her back feet (the two inner toes). Also, a few days ago, she woke up and couldn’t open one of her eyes. She had gunk in it, and we had to wipe it out for her. I think I saw what looked like worms in her butt. I also have a dog that she is always playing with. Somebody please let me know if they know what this could be, or if it is contagious, so I can keep her away from my dog!

My sister called me and her dog has these symptoms diarrhea not wanting to drink water loosing appetite.

I have a 2 year old Chihuahua Jack Russell mix. On and off for the past few months (maybe every 2 weeks) I’ve noticed little whitish-grey blobs, about the size of a pinky fingernail, that come out with his poop. They almost look like a slug of some sort. I’ve checked website for symptoms related to worms but he seems totally normal other than the occasional passing of these little blobs. He has had all the recommended shots. Does this sound like worms? This is my first dog, so I am not very knowledgeable as yet. Thanks!
