What happens if a puppy eats a dead chicken?
If the chicken only just died, eating it usually has little effect. But if it has already begun to rot and smell, the dog may develop diarrhea and vomiting, and in severe cases gastroenteritis leading to dehydration and even death.
My cat has not eaten or drunk for two days, won’t get up, seems weak in the legs, and looks near death.
Two days without food or water with weakness is dehydration from disease; long starvation causes electrolyte loss and can be fatal. Causes include distemper, gastroenteritis, nutritional deficiency, parasites, or poisoning. Give glucose water and see a vet at once.
My dog is foaming at the mouth and has blood in its stool.
Vomiting and bloody stool have many causes needing targeted treatment. First fast and withhold water, give cimetidine for vomiting and bismuth for diarrhea, then see a vet. Causes include swallowed sharp objects, acute gastroenteritis from bad food or parasites, and viral diseases like parvovirus.
My dog had a slight fever that went down, now listless, not eating, and sometimes trembling.
Listlessness, fever, and poor appetite signal disease; trembling may be from cold or pain. Check for vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose, cough, or breathing trouble and see a vet if found. Offer favorite food and probiotics, and keep warm; trembling when warm suggests pain needing prompt diagnosis.
My dog ate honey, vomited all night, and now has dark purple stool. What should I do?

What happens if a Golden Retriever eats too much?
Eating too much can cause Golden Retrievers to suffer indigestion, vomiting, and soft stools, and over time may lead to chronic gastroenteritis. Overeating also causes obesity, raising the risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, seborrheic dermatitis, and joint problems. When overfed, you can give pet probiotics and gently massage the abdomen to aid digestion.
