Cat Is Lethargic, Vomiting and Has Diarrhea
Causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, distemper or pancreatitis. See a vet; if not, use antibacterial, anti-vomit and anti-diarrhea meds with probiotics.
My guinea pig is constipated and has a bit of a cold; I gave it Mommy Love (Medilac) and a small amount of 999 for three or four days with no effect, its appetite is poor, and it has started crying more these past few days
A guinea pig's cold and constipation need prompt treatment. If Mommy Love and 999 aren't working, switch the cold medicine to amoxicillin clavulanate and Isatis root. Also, 999 Cold Remedy is fairly toxic to small pets, so never overfeed it. If the cold symptoms don't ease, take the guinea pig to a vet to check for a lung infection. Finally, try offering the guinea pig some fresh apple and hay, and keep its water intake adequate to prevent overly dry stools.
My Unvaccinated Dog Won’t Eat, Drinks Then Vomits, Then Watery Stool with Long Thin Worms (Red and Gray) and Red Vomit
The main problem is intestinal parasites damaging the gut lining, causing vomiting, diarrhea, and appetite loss; the thin long worms are likely roundworms or tapeworms. Use a dewormer with praziquantel, fenbendazole, or levamisole plus gut anti-inflammatories and probiotics, and see a vet if no improvement.
My Cat Has Low Spirits, No Appetite, Lies Still, and Has Brown Sticky Substance on Its Stool
Brown sticky stool may be upper gastrointestinal bleeding or indigestion from dark food. Try pet anti-inflammatories like cefadroxil, neomycin, or amoxicillin-clavulanate plus probiotics, and see a vet if no improvement in 1-2 days.
My Border Collie Has a Hacking Cough but Good Spirits, Then Vomited White Mucus After a Bark; Parvo and Distemper Tests Are Negative. What Now?
With negative parvo and distemper, the cough and white mucus point more to respiratory infection like pharyngitis or bronchitis, or a swallowed foreign object stuck in the throat causing irritation. Try pet anti-inflammatories for 2-3 days; see a vet if no improvement.
I bought smectite, oxytetracycline and gentamicin online; will they help? It is only two days in
Canine parvovirus needs antivirals and supportive care, plus fluids if it stops eating. Smectite helps diarrhea (halve dose for small dogs); gentamicin and oxytetracycline are antibiotics. Human gentamicin injectable should be halved or replaced with safer amoxicillin-clavulanate. Add interferon/parvovirus serum.
Sneezing with no obvious nasal discharge and no cough
Sneezing alone is usually minor; watch and ventilate, and check the nose for hair or foreign matter. Cold air can trigger it, so keep the cat warm and fed. If sneezing and runny nose later appear, give pet cold or antibiotic medicine.
The dog just lies there and does not move
Cold symptoms are cough, sneeze, runny nose and tears; with vomiting and appetite loss, rule out distemper first with a vet. Distemper needs interferon and monoclonal antibodies or it can kill in 1-2 weeks. If it is just a cold or gut issue, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, anti-vomit and probiotics.
After playing outside he vomited wild grass, then undigested kibble, then loud diarrhea, now watery stool, no eating, no fever, no blood
Eating grass can cause acute gastroenteritis from its fiber irritating the stomach. Try pet anti-diarrhea medicine; if it eases, offer softened kibble. If not, see a vet for fluids to avoid electrolyte imbalance.
Dog had fever and refused food, then after an antipyretic shot eats and is lively but still warmer than usual with very red eyes — what can I give?
After the shot the dog may not have fully defervesced or is relapsing. A vet visit to find the cause is best; treat any underlying disease. If you cannot go, try amoxicillin or a dog fever reducer plus cooling, and see a vet if fever returns.
