My cat has had diarrhea lately, poor appetite, low spirits, sits in a crouched pose, and sleeps a lot. What’s wrong?
Diarrhea with poor appetite has many causes: gastroenteritis, food allergy, ulcers, liver or kidney disease, or stress. See a vet for diagnosis; if a visit isn't possible, try pet anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrhea medicine, and probiotics first.
Spirits are fine, just watery stool. What medicine is good?
Watery stool may be food allergy, parasites, or acute enteritis. If a visit isn't possible, try pet anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrhea medicine plus probiotics; stop new foods and keep deworming.
After a walk, the dog keeps passing fishy, foul-smelling, jelly-like bloody stool, and vomits after being fed rice
Bloody stool after a walk may be from eating something dirty (fungal or viral gastroenteritis), toxic food or drug, or contact with a sick dog (rabies, parvovirus). See a vet promptly to avoid worsening.
It drank a little milk and then became like this
Vomiting and diarrhea after milk are likely lactose intolerance or gastroenteritis; kittens lack lactase, so milk causes diarrhea and vomiting, even death. Don't give cow's milk. Use goat milk and probiotics, and see a vet for severe cases.
What happens if a dog eats spoiled pork?
Spoiled pork can cause bacterial imbalance, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, and its toxins can lead to poisoning with vomiting, dehydration, and even shock or death. Aflatoxin in spoiled meat can also damage the liver and kidneys.
Dog ate two meals at once on Oct 29, started vomiting and passing blood on Oct 30, got two antiviral shots. Now more energetic but still passing blood and vomiting white mucus.
Blood in the stool and white mucus in the vomit indicate intestinal injury from parvovirus, coronavirus, parasites, or acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Get the dog to a vet for diagnosis; hospitalization is best for parvo or corona.
Kitten was fine when first brought home, but started vomiting the next day with clear fluid and white foam, refusing food, listless for three days, vomiting 2 to 3 times daily, sometimes yellow; never ate, threw up a few kibbles, ate some cat strips and hairball paste, water never cut off. Gave amoxicillin on day three, still vomiting, ate some chicken breast, vomited green fluid at night, then started having diarrhea.
Based on your description, vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea are most likely caused by enteritis or feline panleukopenia (distemper) virus infection. Because symptoms appeared shortly after bringing the kitten home, it may be a so-called week-old kitten from an unreliable source.
My 5-month-old female cat stopped eating (kibble, cans, dried shrimp, chicken breast) and now has diarrhea and vomits food, but is still energetic and grooming
Based on your description, the gradual loss of appetite followed by diarrhea and vomiting is mainly considered to be gastroenteritis, intestinal infection, or hairball syndrome. For gastroenteritis use anti-diarrhea meds, antibiotics, and probiotics.
What happens if a dog eats poor-quality dog food?
Low-quality food full of starch and fillers can cause indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, and allergies. Missing nutrients lead to malnutrition, while bacteria and mold in bad food may cause gastroenteritis or hepatitis.
Why does my 2-month-old puppy have jelly-like soft stool?
Jelly-like stool indicates damaged, bleeding intestinal lining, possibly from indigestion, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viruses. See a vet for diagnosis; mild cases may need fasting and probiotics.
