My dog started vomiting on the afternoon of July 28; the first two were food, then after water it was clear fluid; by July 30 it stopped vomiting but had a little bloody stool, a drop or two each time; yesterday no blood but loose stool, no appetite, lies down a lot
Vomiting, bloody loose stool, poor appetite, and lethargy are common in digestive disease: parasites, bacterial or viral enteritis; if vaccines are incomplete, suspect parvovirus or coronavirus. See a vet for screening, fecal and blood tests; if something was eaten, rule out foreign-body blockage or perforation by X-ray and ultrasound, then treat with antivirals, antibiotics, hemostatics, anti-emetics, antidiarrheals, and fluids.
My puppy is passing white stuff
A just-weaned puppy passing white stool points to gut disorder from milk, spoiled formula, bacterial or parasite infection, or white food, even passing clear jelly-like mucosa. Adjust the diet to normal food, add some probiotics, and if it persists with low energy or appetite, see a vet for a fecal test and deworm carefully by weight to protect the gut lining.
My dog has a coin-sized scab; after it mostly fell off the skin is still hard, the hair there thinned, and dandruff-like flakes fall off — what disease is this, urgent help
Black scabs, dandruff, and hair loss are likely from bacterial, fungal, or mite skin infection. Bacteria or fungi cause scabs and post-loss dandruff; parasites like mange mites, scabies, ticks, or fleas cause itching and folliculitis. Environment, poor care, or genetics also contribute. See a vet for scraping and use the right medicine with an Elizabethan collar.
My dog was fine this morning, but by afternoon its anus was swollen and red, with diarrhea but no blood
Diarrhea likely caused anal redness and inflammation; long diarrhea irritates and infects the skin around the anus, causing redness, pain, and even prolapse. See a vet to find the diarrhea cause. Bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral enteritis all cause diarrhea with different treatments, needing vet-guided antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and gut-restoring medicine, fasting, and fluids to prevent dehydration.
My cat has no energy after a fever, eats and drinks but is uninterested in everything else
Fever usually brings poor appetite, lethargy, dry nose, and weakness, but the fever itself is abnormal, typically from infection or contagious disease, so see a vet to find the cause. If you cannot go at once, cool it physically with alcohol swabs or ice on paw pads and ear tips; a temperature above 39.5 C is fever, and persistent fever needs hospital tests for panleukopenia, FIP, pneumonia, and leukemia.
Why do dogs get acute encephalitis?
Acute encephalitis in dogs is usually caused by viral, parasite, bacterial, or fungal infection; for example, canine distemper or rabies virus can lead to it secondarily. It may also be a primary genetic issue such as nerve damage or incomplete nerve development. Treatment is urgent and must start promptly.
Why does my dog keep vomiting yellow fluid with white foam?
There are many causes of vomiting; if yellow fluid and foam persist with low energy and appetite, see a vet to find the cause first. Common causes include prolonged hunger (excess stomach acid and bile), swallowed indigestible objects, bacterial gastroenteritis, infectious disease like distemper or parvovirus, liver disease, food-change upset, and others like poisoning, parasites, or stomach tumors.
What happens if cat sinusitis is left untreated?
If left untreated, cat sinusitis causes loss of appetite, breathing difficulty, nasal discharge, sneezing, and lethargy, and in severe cases can lead to fever, nasal ulceration and necrosis, blocked tear ducts, and conjunctivitis. It may be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or allergies, and can even be fatal, so prompt veterinary care is needed.
Why Do Parrots Lose Feathers?
Parrot feather loss has many causes, including natural molting, malnutrition, and skin disease. Molting is normal; boost nutrition. Bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection also causes loss and needs diagnosis.
Not Sure What It Is, but My Cat’s Eye Has a Very Hard Crust and Is Bleeding; Otherwise Nothing Abnormal
From the photo, the cat's eye has thick crusting, bleeding, and hair loss, indicating a severe infection. If the cat has a stray history, check for injury from foreign objects or sharp items, and rule out long-term bacterial, fungal, or viral infection.
