My cat has watery diarrhea; it did not have it when found. My child was diagnosed with throat pus — is that related to the cat? The cat bit my chin and it itched, and I scratched up small bumps — how should the cat be treated?
Cat diarrhea usually does not directly sicken people, but a low-immunity child's throat pus may relate to cat contact and needs medical diagnosis. The diarrhea may be from gut issues, enteritis, panleukopenia, or parasites, so take the cat to the vet and check for zoonotic disease if it will live with you. The itch and bumps after a cat bite are likely allergy or infection; see a doctor for wound care and keep distance from the cat.
My cat vomits long white worms; I looked it up and it seems parasitic — how to treat it? It usually won’t eat or drink, foams, and occasionally passes worms.
Long white worms are likely roundworms, common gut parasites spread via feces or food. Treat with a suitable dewormer such as pyrantel, praziquantel, or albendazole per the vet. Since the cat won't eat and foams, it may have secondary gastroenteritis needing fluids, anti-emetics, and gut repair. Deworm every 3 months and clean the environment to prevent reinfection.
My dog went out to play, came home and stopped eating, vomited the next day, only drinks water, sleeps more, and is less lively with low energy lately
Vomiting yellow fluid with no eating or drinking is usually a serious gastrointestinal disease and needs a confirmed cause before medication. For indigestion, give probiotics; for gastroenteritis with frequent vomiting, withhold food and give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic plus probiotics; if no improvement, get IV fluids. Distemper or parvovirus also cause yellow vomiting and need early hospital care.
My dog vomited dog-food-like stuff yesterday, then refused food, ate once at noon, then refused, vomited yellow fluid at night, then water, and had diarrhea this morning and won’t eat
This may be a digestive problem: indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites, foreign-body blockage, or distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, or other infection. See a vet soon. If not, briefly withhold food and water, then feed small frequent easily digested soft meals, and watch symptoms; give pet anti-emetic, anti-inflammatory, and antidiarrheal per the vet's guidance.
Why does my dog keep vomiting yellow fluid with white foam?
There are many causes of vomiting; if yellow fluid and foam persist with low energy and appetite, see a vet to find the cause first. Common causes include prolonged hunger (excess stomach acid and bile), swallowed indigestible objects, bacterial gastroenteritis, infectious disease like distemper or parvovirus, liver disease, food-change upset, and others like poisoning, parasites, or stomach tumors.
My dog vomits and passes roundworms; how many days until the dewormer works, should I deworm daily, how many doses per day, and why no effect yet?
Vomiting or passing roundworms means a worm infection; dewormers kill or expel them. Effects start within hours but full expulsion can take days. For an active infection, dose once the same day by weight, then re-deworm if worms persist until cleared; preventive deworming is monthly. No effect may mean wrong dose, poor product, or wrong drug for the worm type, or secondary enteritis/parvo, so see a vet.

What Happens If a Cat Eats Anti-Inflammatory Medicine?
Anti-inflammatory medicine can control internal inflammation and prevent infection in cats with skin, respiratory, or urinary infections, but only pet-specific drugs at the correct dose should be used to avoid indigestion, allergy, or liver damage.
Cat Indigestion: Symptoms and Solutions

My Two-Month-Old Cat Was Brought Home the Day Before Yesterday, Fed Cat Food Directly Without Transition, Now Has Yellow Stools and Low Energy. Can I Give It Probiotics, and Should I Withhold Food?
Cat diarrhea is usually caused by parasites, bacterial enteritis, food-change indigestion, or panleukopenia. If the cat's energy and appetite are normal, the cause is likely indigestion from the new environment or food, and short fasting with anti-diarrhea and anti-inflammatory medication may help.
