What happens with a dog’s urethral stones?
Stones block the urethra, causing frequent, reduced, dribbling, painful urination and infection; scraping causes pink/red/brown blood in urine. Long blockage can harm kidneys, even failure, with appetite/weight loss and vomiting.
What happens with a dog’s bladder stones?
Bladder stones cause difficult urination—frequent attempts with little or no output—and painful, whimpering expressions. Scraping the wall causes red/pink blood in urine. Severity depends on size, number, location, infection. See a vet for abnormal urination.
I noticed several times that after using florfenicol-metronidazole ear drops for my cat’s ear mites, it gets diarrhea. Can that happen?
That ear drop is a general antibacterial; use mite-specific medicine instead. Diarrhea after it may be wrong drug or allergy—stop it and switch. If diarrhea continues after switching, the gut may be the issue; see a vet.
Frequent small urination (a drop each time), inappropriate urination, low tail, regurgitating kibble, sunken belly
Frequent urination, difficult urination, and regurgitating kibble suggest kidney or urinary issues (abnormal function, infection, stones). See a vet; do not give medicine blindly before diagnosis.
After feeding cookies and fish oil yesterday, it had trouble breathing, slightly purple lips, and wheezing that continues; the pet hospital x-ray was normal, medicine didn’t help.

Why is my cat vomiting, having diarrhea, and not eating?
These signs can come from viral infection, gastroenteritis, parasites, or diet. Judge by vaccine/deworm status and recent food; if unsure, see a vet for the cause.
What happens if a Teddy has a rectal prolapse?
Prolapse means rectal tissue sticks out of the anus, causing difficult defecation, infection, anemia, poor appetite. Mild cases can be reduced at home after cleaning with potassium permanganate; severe cases need a vet.
How do I pick a good female Shar-Pei?

Half-Year Kitten Lost Appetite, Vomited Tapeworm and Yellow Fluid; Mother Cat Too
The kitten has tapeworms and gastroenteritis needing deworming, anti-vomit, and anti-inflammatory care; stop vomiting first, then use praziquantel or fenbendazole.
My hamster makes puffing sounds while eating; not sure why, I have a video of the sound.
Soft puffing while chewing is normal (breathing with chewing), but loud/frequent sounds may mean infection like a cold. Squeak-like sounds may be diaphragm spasm from vitamin deficiency or chills.
