Huskies have fairly strong resistance; they are not picky, have good stamina and high energy, so they rarely get sick. But in a new environment they may be unsettled and show loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhea; give probiotics to regulate the gut.
My hamster keeps retching and shivering with a cold body.
Retching and shivering in a hamster have several causes. First, an overstuffed cheek pouch can make it spit food out when grabbed or too full; this is normal, but clear leftovers so they do not spoil.
My dog vomited once in the morning and then ate nothing, only drank water and was inactive, lying down for two days. I also hit it a few days ago and the next day its front left leg went lame. Is it a fracture? It does not cry when I touch the leg.
First find the cause of the vomiting. A single vomit with no other gut symptoms may not be digestive disease; check whether hitting it caused pain.
My cat has not moved all day, eaten nothing, looks dying, occasionally spits a little clear water, and barely meows. What should I do?
This is a critically ill cat; the cause needs a hospital exam. Common reasons for lethargy and foaming include gut diseases such as gastroenteritis, obstruction or megacolon; long-term poor diet or stress; internal diseases like liver, kidney or pancreatic disease; concussion, fracture or internal bleeding; and ingesting toxins such as rat poison causing neurological signs.
A two-month-old kitten was given yogurt yesterday, then today refuses kibble, foams at the mouth and has bad breath.

It vomited yellow foam in the morning and now is vomiting clear water. What causes this?
Yellow gastric fluid vomiting has many causes, most commonly gastroenteritis such as parasitic, bacterial, foreign-body or viral types, and in older cats liver, kidney or pancreatic disease. The color hints at the location.
Has not eaten for two or three days, keeps sleeping and will not get up, passes yellow water and is incontinent.
Yellow watery stool, lethargy and no eating may be feline distemper, parasites, poisoning or gastroenteritis; take the cat to the hospital for fluids promptly. The cat is critically dehydrated and incontinent, and without electrolyte fluids it may suffer organ failure or death.
My Malinois accidentally ate a whole bar of soap. What should I do?
Take the dog to the hospital promptly to avoid delay, and watch for discomfort such as vomiting, loss of appetite, drowsiness, diarrhea or lack of stool. Gastroenteritis symptoms last about a week and need plenty of water or fluids plus mucosal protectors, antiemetics and antidiarrheals.
