Puppy’s belly is hugely bloated and it can’t stand. What to do?
Big belly may be diet, gut issues, ascites, or other disease. If it ate lots of dry/expanding food, stop feeding and give digestives. Otherwise see a vet for detailed tests to find the cause.
Previously ate cornmeal elsewhere; day 1 home had goat-milk-soaked kibble; this morning gave smectite and probiotics, then two more loose stools, still watery, but the puppy is very energetic. Should I fast and withhold water?
Recent arrival and food change likely cause stress/upset diarrhea. Fast 6-12 hours with probiotics and watch; if no relief, see a vet for parasites etc.
Vomited yellow fluid, then ate probiotics plus cat sticks, now has diarrhea.
If energy and appetite are normal, it's temporary indigestion — feed easier foods (minced chicken, softened kibble) in small frequent meals. If energy/appetite are poor, see a vet for gut disease, parasites, or virus.
Seems a bit food-bound; ate grapes by mistake this afternoon, vomited in the evening — vomit had kibble, stool normal firm.
Vomiting after grapes is helpful to expel toxin; grapes are toxic. If little was eaten and it vomited soon with good energy, usually fine. If vomiting continues with poor spirit, see a vet to check kidney values and prevent failure.
Just picked this dog up off the street two days ago; day 1 some cough and dry heaves, day 2 worse, sleeps with half-open eyes and twitches.
Cough, dry heaves, trembling suggest respiratory infection, flu, or distemper. If recently chilled, likely respiratory—give cold/anti-inflammatory medicine and warmth. If no relief, see a vet.
Two-month-old Papillon, not eating and diarrhea for 3-4 days.
3-4 days without food plus diarrhea risks dehydration; take it to a vet for fluids and to find the cause (enteritis, parvo, parasites). Treat specifically.
Found a dead bird two days ago, played with it but didn’t eat it; since yesterday foaming at the mouth, not eating, better at night, started again today, unvaccinated.
Possible chronic poisoning from licking the dead bird, which may carry bacteria/viruses; moldy material can poison. If it doesn't recover, get checked and treated.
No food or water all day, repeated white-foam vomiting, lethargic, sleepy.
Not eating/drinking with repeated foam vomiting, lethargy, sleepiness can be gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, liver disease, blockage, parvo, coronavirus. Get a full vet exam promptly to avoid worsening.
My cat has many blackhead-like black dots in its mouth and eats little.
Black dots may be food residue, pigmentation, or vitamin lack. Rinse with water for food residue; pigmentation is normal; vitamin E or other deficiency needs supplementation.
No wound on the limb, but it’s been soaked and swollen 4-5 days without going down. Recently eating romaine, one dubia every other day. How to reduce the swelling?
A bearded dragon's swollen forelimb may be from calcium lack or dehydration; add water and ground cuttlebone. Fake UVB or long lack of light also causes it; ensure balanced diet and some sun to avoid calcium deficiency.
