My dog’s stool is formed but has red blood-clot-like bits and a bloody smell—what is wrong?
Blood in stool mainly suggests large-intestine bleeding from hemorrhagic enteritis, parasites or gut scratches. Hemorrhagic enteritis from bacteria shows blood on the surface or frank blood. Parasites like coccidia and Giardia cause end-of-stool blood or stubborn diarrhea; gut scratches from sharp objects like bones or metal cause severe bleeding with ulcer or perforation risk. See a vet promptly.
Kitten suddenly vomiting, low spirits, throws up even after eating cat strips—what to do?
Vomiting may come from hairballs, internal parasites, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis or panleukopenia. If otherwise normal with hair in vomit, try hairball paste. If no improvement, withhold food and water half a day, then give pet anti-inflammatory and an anti-vomit drug; after relief feed small frequent bland meals with probiotics. If still poor and unvaccinated, see a vet.
What happens if a dog eats raw vegetables?
Raw veggies are usually fine but note: fiber aids digestion but excess causes diarrhea.

Onions, scallions and raw garlic are toxic—see a vet if eaten in quantity.

Have a vet examine the cats to find the cause before treatment.
