My dog has been unwell for four or five days; thought it ate something bad, gave gut medicine, but worse – diarrhea, vomiting yellow fluid, very yellow urine, can’t stand, legs tremble, lies all day, won’t eat even when offered, only drinks a little.
Unwell for days needs a vet promptly; self-diagnosis and drugs worsen it. Not eating for days then unable to stand suggests hypoglycemia, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance; yellow urine and no eating may indicate liver or pancreas issues. Get fluids and diagnosis.
What medicine helps a dog that drools?
Drooling has many causes - poisoning, stress, heat, rabies signs, teething. Find the cause first. Teething drooling is normal; offer teething sticks to relieve discomfort.
My dog’s gums bleed, are red and swollen, and smell bad – why?
Likely tartar, periodontitis, stomatitis, or ulcers from poor cleaning or vitamin lack. See a vet to confirm and treat.
What medicine is effective for cat stomatitis?
Common drugs are pet oral spray, amoxicillin, and vet metronidazole. Combine with dental care to remove decayed teeth and use pet mouthwash; feed soft food, not dry kibble, during treatment.
Last night it started coughing, like wanting to vomit but couldn’t; this morning I gave half an amoxicillin and a cap of children’s cough syrup, then it got diarrhea.
Coughing with diarrhea may be upper respiratory infection, digestive issues, virus, or parasites. See a vet; don't keep dosing since symptoms didn't improve.
How do I determine if a cat has feline rhinotracheitis?
Combine clinical signs with lab testing. Sneezing, runny nose, eye discharge, breathing difficulty, and mouth ulcers suggest it; PCR confirms herpesvirus. Latent cases can't be detected.
My cat’s leg hurts – feels like a dislocation; the left leg trembles with pain, can’t be touched on the lower body, cries at any light touch.
Leg pain can come from arthritis, injury, sprain, fracture, or trauma. Bone issues need an X-ray at the vet. At home, try broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and joint supplements for 3-4 days.
What are the symptoms and treatment of feline stomatitis?
Early signs are lethargy, reduced appetite, drooling, and difficulty chewing with mild ulcers; severe cases bring heavy drooling, inability to eat, weight loss, and oral erosion. Treatment removes the cause, meds, vitamins, diet, and cleaning; severe cases need tooth extraction.
My cat passes yellow water and black loose stool – please help.
Yellow or black loose stool relates to gut health; if energy and appetite are normal, viral enteritis is unlikely. Use broad-spectrum antibiotics and probiotics; test for parasites/virus if unvaccinated.
Two days ago a hard lump appeared on the head; I thought it was a bug and pulled it off, then it bled. I applied iodine; now it’s starting to pus. What should I do about a pus wound on a dog’s head?
Shave the area, rinse daily with saline or hydrogen peroxide, squeeze out pus, then disinfect with iodine and apply pet wound medication. For heavy pus, see a vet for anti-inflammatory injections.
