My Two-Month-Old Cat Was Brought Home the Day Before Yesterday, Fed Cat Food Directly Without Transition, Now Has Yellow Stools and Low Energy. Can I Give It Probiotics, and Should I Withhold Food?
Cat diarrhea is usually caused by parasites, bacterial enteritis, food-change indigestion, or panleukopenia. If the cat's energy and appetite are normal, the cause is likely indigestion from the new environment or food, and short fasting with anti-diarrhea and anti-inflammatory medication may help.

Soft stools often come before diarrhea and hurt gut health. Common causes are a sudden food switch, parasites, a greasy diet, or mild enteritis - each with its own fix. Act early.
My one-month-old puppy ate a red bran bread yesterday and now has red stool; the vet says it’s not parvo
Red stool after eating red bread is likely from the food dye not fully digesting. If the puppy is otherwise normal, it is a temporary food-related change; keep observing and avoid human food, especially for unvaccinated puppies. See a vet if other symptoms appear.
My puppy vomited pink foam with some blood streaks; it can’t get comfortable, keeps whimpering, and cries when touched
Pink foamy vomit with blood may mean: 1. stomach irritation or inflammation from irritants, foreign objects, or bones, with poor appetite and belly pain; 2. gastrointestinal bleeding from ulcers, tumors, infection, or parasites, with poor appetite, bloody stool, anemia; 3. viral enteritis like parvovirus, with diarrhea and bloody stool. Whatever the cause, first withhold food and water and take the dog to a vet promptly.
My cat’s urine was pink at first, then it barely ate and had no stool; after amoxicillin the pink stopped but it keeps straining with only a little yellow urine, hides under the table, sleeps deeply, and vomited up what I fed—what is going on?
From your description the cat likely has a urinary tract disease. Straining with only a little urine, vomiting, frequent litter-box squatting, dribbling, and a full bladder suggest a blockage causing blood in urine and urinary retention. Long retention leads to toxin buildup and acute kidney failure with vomiting—usually male cats from cystitis, crystals, or bacteria. Rush to a vet for catheterization.
What color should a dog’s stool normally be?

My dog has soft, unformed stool; how should I feed it and what should I watch for?

My cat stopped eating on day 7 after birth, temperature 39.3, no milk letdown, stool normal, what is wrong?
Post-birth not eating with rising temperature may be low immunity or retained afterbirth causing inflammation. Placentas left in the womb cause uterine infection; get blood inflammation and B ultrasounds, and treat with fever control, fluids, and antibiotics.
How long for a blood parrot fish’s enteritis to heal?
Blood parrot enteritis usually cures in 3 to 7 days with active treatment. Signs are dark color and white or trailing stool; fast 3 days, change water, raise temp to 28 C, and use oxytetracycline if needed.
No diarrhea, no vomiting, normal spirits and appetite, but blood drips after defecation.
Blood after stool may be constipation, parasites, foreign-object scratches, proctitis, or perianal tumor. Hard stool suggests constipation hurting the mucosa; give water and probiotics. Hard stool after hard objects suggests scratches; use anti-inflammatory and see a vet if it continues. Soft stool needs fecal test for coccidia, whipworm, roundworm; then deworm. If all fail, consider tumor via colonoscopy.
