A fracturing dog can supplement calcium, but bones are not recommended — hard to digest, so they barely help and may block the gut, causing pain and constipation. For calcium, use bone broth, dried shrimp, soy products, or pet calcium tablets. Proper calcium aids bone recovery, but the fracture itself needs casting or surgery at a vet.

Not eating and vomiting yellow fluid may be gastritis, or if unvaccinated, distemper or parvovirus. Get a vet check for those viruses. If it's gastritis, use dog-specific antiemetics and probiotics. If distemper or parvo is confirmed, have a vet treat it — these are dangerous and quickly fatal without treatment.

After a cat dies of distemper, wait about half a year before getting a new one, since the virus survives long in the environment. Disinfect thoroughly with glutaraldehyde-deciquam solution and UV light at least three times, ventilate, and throw away all the old cat's items. Best to bring the new cat home only after it's fully vaccinated.

Based on your description — vomiting, poor appetite, fever, diarrhea — these are typical signs of distemper, possibly an infection. Test with a canine distemper strip; if both C and T lines turn red or purple, the dog is infected. Distemper is highly contagious with over 80% mortality, so see a vet urgently.

A bloated, gurgling puppy belly means increased bowel sounds. Causes include indigestion, gut flora imbalance, parasite infection, or gastroenteritis. If food was recently changed, suspect indigestion — give pet probiotics and reduce portions, then resume normal feeding once improved. If no improvement, see a vet.

Raw meat may carry bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens that can cause soft stools, diarrhea, and indigestion in Rottweilers. If feeding raw meat, ensure source and quality, and feed in moderation to avoid excess fat and obesity-related disease. Cooking the meat first is generally safer.

Low-quality kibble often has excess grains and fillers that are hard to digest, causing diarrhea, constipation, and stomach upset. Its incomplete nutrition can lead to malnutrition and weak immunity over time, and it may contain more allergens that trigger skin itching, rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Frequent diarrhea after deworming is likely irritation of the gut by the medication, which is common. Give the cat pet probiotics to regulate its stomach and keep it warm and rested. If diarrhea persists, take it to a veterinary hospital for a checkup.

From your description the cat is likely in dystocia with the fetus stuck; three days of strong straining plus no eating and vomiting means she is in danger and the fetus may be dead, causing sepsis. Aside from urgent vet care and possibly surgery, there is no better option; if she were still eating and active, oxytocin and abdominal massage could be tried, though risky.

A hamster with a wet abdomen and inability to stand may have a bone problem with incontinence; take it for an X-ray and treat by its condition. It may also have wet tail disease, with frequent watery, foul stool and weakness, needing treatment of the primary disease plus oral antidiarrheals, probiotics, and fluids.
