At first loose stool with a soybean-sized lump on the belly, then bloody loose stool, but the belly lump shrank and nearly vanished
Loose stool with blood usually means gut infection or damage from parasites or a foreign object scraping the gut, but parvovirus, bacterial enteritis, or constipation are also possible. See a vet to find the cause; for parasites, deworm and use gut-lining repair drugs and probiotics.
Why Does My Dog Foam at the Mouth on an Empty Stomach?
Foaming before breakfast often means too little or too much food, a throat object, or enteritis. Feed small, frequent, easily digested meals; remove any object; and fast plus use probiotics for enteritis, seeing a vet if it worsens.
My puppy is inactive morning and afternoon but active at night; it has been with me 4 days and the stool has been this color
Low energy with brownish-yellow loose stool may be enteritis, parasites, or a virus. Enteritis needs anti-diarrhea and anti-inflammatory drugs; parasites need deworming. An unvaccinated puppy may have parvovirus, so see a vet soon to not miss treatment.
My dog just came home 4 days ago; it was active at first but the last two days it retches, seems off, and wants to vomit but cannot
Frequent retching may be from overeating or eating too fast irritating the gut, or a foreign object in the esophagus or stomach. Withhold food, watch, then give probiotics and feed on a schedule; if retching, poor appetite, and lethargy continue, suspect a foreign object, parasites, gastroenteritis, or infection and see a vet.
Why does my dog vomit yellow fluid?
Common causes are long hunger, foreign-object ingestion, parasites, gastroenteritis, or infectious disease. Prolonged hunger causes excess stomach acid without affecting spirits; unsuitable food upsets the gut. Frequent vomiting needs a vet.
My cat vomited undigested kibble, then yellow fluid with white foam, now only white foam. What should I do?
Vomiting yellow fluid and white foam usually points to a digestive disease with many possible causes, so withhold food and water and see a vet for a confirmed diagnosis. Common causes include hairball gastritis, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, wrong food or poisoning, and panleukopenia.
What can I feed a corn snake if there are no pinky mice?
Corn snakes mainly eat mice, birds and small mammals; in captivity best feed pinky mice and frogs per their habits—feeding disliked food causes malnutrition. Keep temp 28-31°C; too low causes indigestion or enteritis.
A 2-month-old Labrador with diarrhea, vomiting white foam, lethargy, no barking, no tail wagging
Diarrhea, white-foam vomit and lethargy in a 2-month-old have many causes needing clinical workup; usually acute gastroenteritis from bad diet, or viral/parasitic/toxic. If it ate spoiled or greasy food, suspect acute gastroenteritis—fast, give probiotics/anti-inflammatories, and see a vet if weak/dehydrated. If unvaccinated/un-dewormed and young, consider parvovirus, coronavirus or distemper—highly fatal—requiring hospital care.
First vomited chicken breast, then yellow fluid with foam twice—what to do? Still active today, slept after vomiting
Vomiting after chicken breast and egg yolk is likely overeating causing acute gastroenteritis; kittens' immature digestion struggles with these. If alert, fast and observe with bismuth carbonate and cimetidine (protect mucosa, reduce acid); then probiotics. If no relief, see a vet.
My kitten has abnormal stool—sticky paste with the rear protruding
The photo shows unformed stool with jelly-like intestinal mucosa, usually diarrhea from diet, indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites or panleukopenia. If infrequent and alert, give probiotics and small frequent bland meals; if persistent, use intestinal anti-inflammatory/anti-diarrhea meds (bismuth carbonate, cefadroxil) 3-5 days, then deworm. If frequent with lethargy/vomiting, see a vet.
