My cat ran out a few days ago and came back today, but as soon as it returned it kept foaming at the mouth and vomited for almost two hours, then threw up something unidentifiable, and after that started foaming again. What should I do?
Frequent vomiting in cats can be caused by many things, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, liver disease, kidney disease, intestinal obstruction or infectious disease, and food or drug poisoning. Based on your description, the cat vomited continuously after coming home from outside, so it may have accidentally eaten a poison outdoors causing toxicity, or it may have eaten unclean food leading to gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal blockage, or contracted an infectious disease causing frequent vomiting. If the cat vomits whatever it eats, it is recommended to withhold food and water promptly to avoid burdening the digestive tract, and take it to a veterinary hospital for examination as soon as possible. The veterinarian will give a corresponding treatment plan based on symptoms and test results; giving medication at home may worsen the condition. Also, keep the cat in a clean environment and prevent it from contacting harmful substances.

My dog is throwing up white foam and has vomited over and over, and now there’s a bit of pink in it. But it’s the middle of the night and no clinic is open – what do I do?!
Vomiting pink foam suggests acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet, indigestion, or injury to the digestive tract lining. The dog first vomits white foam, and repeated vomiting damages the stomach lining, leading to pink, blood-tinged foam. You should withhold food and water immediately and avoid giving any medication yourself, then find a nearby emergency clinic for examination and treatment.
My one-month-old puppy has bloating, vomiting and convulsions after human cold medicine
Bloating, vomiting and convulsions are serious; virus, gastroenteritis, poisoning or epilepsy often show these. At one month and unvaccinated, infectious disease risk is high—take to a vet promptly. Distemper and parvovirus are common and can kill fast; diagnose first, then treat specifically to avoid harm from wrong treatment.
My cat’s stool was like mud, then diarrhea with mucus and blood—what disease is this?
Mud-like stool with mucus and blood likely means enteritis or parasite infection. First, bacterial or viral enteritis—if unvaccinated, panleukopenia risk is high, so get a test and blood work. Second, coccidia or Giardia damage the gut lining and cause bleeding; diagnose by fecal exam and abdominal ultrasound, then deworm and treat with anti-inflammatories.
What causes abnormal turtle droppings?
Normal turtle stool is oval and light gray; red stool after eating fish/shrimp is normal. The pictured stool is unformed, with mucus, soft and yellow—likely indigestion or enteritis. Stop feeding and observe; keep the habitat clean and warm. If it persists, use medication to help recovery.
My dog has diarrhea, vomited white foam three times, then yellow fluid—what’s wrong?
Your description centers on vomiting and diarrhea rather than confirmed cold symptoms; colds rarely cause digestive signs. Causes vary—if from bad diet or overeating it may be acute gastroenteritis needing fasting, fluids and anti-emetics; if unvaccinated, see a vet for diagnosis and hospitalization.

My dog is vomiting yellow foam, won’t eat, is weak all over, keeps lying on the floor, and has yellow diarrhea
Vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness usually signal a serious disease; severe vomiting/diarrhea can dehydrate and exhaust the dog, so it lies weakly — get to the vet for fluids and treat the cause. Common causes: acute gastroenteritis from overeating or spoiled food; infectious disease like distemper, parvovirus, or coronavirus; intestinal parasites like roundworm, hookworm, giardia; also chill, stress, organ injury, or poisoning.
