Won’t eat, drinks a little water, has difficulty defecating, seems to pass blood, hind legs weak, dry heaving.
Many diseases cause anorexia; if mild, probiotics and soft food help, but dry heaving and difficult defecation may mean a bone or foreign body causing constipation or obstructive enteritis needing X-ray and possibly surgery. See a vet.
Every morning the end of the stool has a few drops of blood, otherwise normal, and the dog is energetic. What causes this?
Blood at the end of normal, energetic stool may be constipation fissures, parasites, enteritis, or rectal tumors. Hard stool needs more water and fiber; soft stool needs a fecal test for parasites; otherwise consider enteritis or tumors.
My dog’s stool was normal at first, but last night it had water mixed into the poop.
Watery stool is diarrhea, possibly from parasites, indigestion, or gastroenteritis, not necessarily parvovirus. Fast half a day with probiotics and light diet; if no improvement, use medication or vet testing.
My dog has diarrhea with blood but is still very active; it ate a little sunflower seed shell and vomited it out.
Bloody diarrhea can be gut scraping by a foreign body, parasites, hemorrhagic enteritis, or virus. If active and seed shells were eaten, it may be mild; fast and give probiotics, then meds if no improvement, or see a vet for foul-smelling stool with other signs.
After eating a wet food, my cat ran wildly and vomited undigested food, then frequently foams a little at the mouth and licks its tongue; still bright but eating less. What should I do?
This likely relates to gut discomfort from excess stomach acid, poor motility, or the wet food quality; stop the food, use anti-emetic and probiotics, and see a vet if diarrhea or lethargy follows.
My dog keeps whimpering and its belly twitches; this has lasted four days and today it seems near death.
A twitching belly can be from eating too fast and swallowing air, abdominal pain or wanting to vomit from pancreatitis/gastroenteritis/parvo, or breathing problems; painful or breathing-related cases need urgent vet care.
A four-month-old cat suddenly lost appetite and vomits yellow fluid, nine times in two days; ate a pesticide earlier and half an amoxicillin capsule. The pet hospital is closed, the cat’s nose and paw pads are pale. What do I do? Urgent!
Yellow vomit suggests gastroenteritis from diet or, if unvaccinated, possible obstruction or panleukopenia; tests include blood work, SAA, ultrasound, and a panleukopenia test. Pale nose and paws mean anemia and dehydration needing fluids; at home give glucose and anti-emetics.
Two-month-old dog, normal first day home, then diarrhea in the afternoon, milk at night, diarrhea at midnight, formed stool next morning, then diarrhea again with white mucus and a little blood, then yellow water and white stuff. Today gave gentamicin, stool color improved. What next?
The diarrhea is likely acute gastroenteritis from environment or diet change; fast 24 hours and give probiotics and pet anti-inflammatory. If it continues or vomits, check for infectious disease at a vet.
I bathed it the day before yesterday; it started vomiting the next day several times, and now today it has diarrhea.
Vomiting and diarrhea after a bath may be stress or chills causing gastroenteritis, needing fasting, fluids, and symptomatic care, or it may trigger distemper or parvovirus if unvaccinated, needing antiviral treatment.
My cat regurgitates the food it eats and is listless.
Not eating with vomiting has many causes: dietary indiscretion, foreign body obstruction, hairballs, panleukopenia, or poisoning and organ disease. Probiotics may help mild cases, but persistent or severe signs need a vet.
