Cat won’t eat or drink, low energy, foams at mouth – gastroenteritis? How to treat?
Foaming, not eating, low energy isn't only gastroenteritis; also parasites, poisoning, pancreatitis, gastritis, panleukopenia, liver/kidney damage. Take to a vet; keep diet and environment clean.
Ate spicy liver on 5/30, diarrhea and vomiting, improved after a vet shot; bathed 6/1; vomited again 6/2, tests ruled out panleukopenia, diagnosed gastroenteritis
Diarrhea and vomiting after eating irritating food is usually acute gastroenteritis, needing anti-vomiting and anti-inflammatory shots, plus fluids if fasting long. A bland diet aids recovery.
Does dry heaving count as enteritis? Also, there are some fluffy bits of skin around the eyes – could it be a bit of white-eye disease?
Common signs of enteritis in turtles include lethargy, reduced appetite, unformed or abnormally colored droppings, and refusal to eat. In severe cases the eyes may sink, the skin may become dry and dull, and muscles may loosen, eventually leading to death from systemic failure. In early stages, lactobacillus tablets or berberine can help adjust gut flora, with anti-inflammatory drugs as supportive care; severe cases need oral or injected antibiotics. The blurry photo makes it hard to judge the eyes, so white-eye disease cannot be confirmed, though a white film over the eyes is possible.
My dog suddenly stopped eating; thought it was enteritis, treatment helped a bit but then it stopped eating and became very weak, couldn’t walk. Blood test showed a sudden drop in red blood cells; it just got a transfusion.
Low red-cell count can come from anemia, poor nutrition, toxins, infection, or disease; causes include internal bleeding or chronic illness. Further tests are needed. Ingested drugs/toxins or distemper can also lower red cells and appetite.
Severe enteritis — how to manage and treat without specialized bird medicine
If a parrot's enteritis is severe and already shows symptoms like bloody stool, the situation is very dangerous and needs prompt antibiotic treatment. But because the parrot's exact condition is unclear, a targeted treatment plan cannot be given. You can first try feeding the parrot 1/4 of an oxytetracycline tablet and see whether the symptoms ease; if they do, continue the medication. If there is no improvement, you can try an intramuscular injection of 0.2 ml of gentamicin, then observe whether the parrot still has bloody stool. If the bleeding stops, the condition is improving. If there is still no improvement after two days of treatment, the parrot is unlikely to be cured. In addition, each parrot absorbs medicine differently and reacts differently, so the keeper should adjust the dose according to the bird's own condition.
How to treat dog enteritis
Enteritis inflames the small/large intestine causing soft stool, diarrhea, poor appetite, sometimes bloody stool and vomiting. For mild cases use antibiotics (amox-clav, ampicillin, neomycin), antidiarrheals (bismuth, smectite), fast 6-8h if vomiting then probiotics, and feed low-fat, low-protein, easy food.
My dog has had gastroenteritis and will not eat or drink for a day – what should I do?
With gastroenteritis and no eating, give glucose or honey water for energy, or light chicken/fish soup. For severe vomiting, get an anti-emetic shot plus antibiotics and protectants; if vomiting eases, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, metoclopramide, bismuth and probiotics.
How do I treat my cat’s gastroenteritis with diarrhea and vomiting?
For gastroenteritis with diarrhea and vomiting, take the cat to a vet for an anti-emetic shot, then tests to find the pathogen and use antibiotics, gut protectants and antivirals. If a vet is inconvenient, fast half a day, then give antibiotics, anti-emetics, protectants and probiotics.
My cat’s panleukopenia test shows one faint line; the vet said it could also be enteritis – what does it mean?
One line means negative for panleukopenia; two lines means positive. But with suspected symptoms, get a professional diagnosis at the vet.
What if a dog’s enteritis is not cured?
Untreated enteritis causes long diarrhea, dehydration, weight loss, and malnutrition, and can spread to pancreas, liver, kidneys. Delay makes it worse and harder to cure, so see a vet early.
