What to Do When Your Dog Eats but Doesn’t Gain Weight
A dog that eats but stays thin may have low-quality or single-food diet, too little food, too little exercise, an illness (parasites, hepatitis, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, gastroenteritis), or stress. Feed a rich, high-quality diet in small frequent meals, exercise daily, and see a vet if it's underweight or shows other symptoms.

New turtles need 2 to 3 days to adjust; water below 20 C stops feeding and below 15 C causes hibernation, while over 35 C also kills appetite. Persistent refusal may mean enteritis.
What condition causes a dog to poop blood?
Bloody stool in dogs often means parasites from missed deworming, or gut diseases like gastroenteritis, ulcers, or clotting disorders. Severe or accompanied by lethargy, a vet visit is needed.
Why Do Dogs Get Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)?
Dog hypoglycemia comes from poor diet, overexercise, faulty insulin regulation, heavy lactation, or diseases like gastroenteritis, parvovirus, diabetes, or pancreatitis.

Why does my cat keep vomiting?
Frequent vomiting can come from hairballs, gastroenteritis, intestinal blockage, pancreatitis, feline distemper or parasites. Hair in vomit suggests hairballs; worms need deworming. Vomiting food, yellow fluid or foam with poor appetite needs a vet.
What should I do if my dog suddenly stops eating and drinking and becomes listless?
Sudden loss of appetite and energy in a dog often points to fever, infection, or gastroenteritis. Check rectal temperature above 39.3 C for fever, but if vomiting or diarrhea accompanies it, seek veterinary care to rule out serious disease.
Is It Safe to Drink Water a Cat Has Licked?
For a healthy adult, an occasional sip of water a healthy cat has licked is low risk — your immune system handles small amounts of bacteria. Avoid it when the cat is sick (stomatitis, gingivitis, vomiting, or diarrhea), when you are immunocompromised (elderly, children, pregnant, diabetic, or living with HIV), or when the water is heavily contaminated. If you accidentally drink it and feel fine, just hydrate well — no panic needed.
Why is my cat vomiting saliva-like mucus?
Saliva-like vomit can come from indigestion, gastroenteritis, hairballs or a foreign object in the mouth. Probiotics, hairball paste or removing the object can help depending on the cause.
Can rabbits eat oranges?
Rabbits can eat oranges in small amounts. Oranges offer vitamins, fructose and fiber, but their high water and acidity can cause diarrhea, vomiting or gastroenteritis if overfed. Hay should remain the staple diet.
