My kitten vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
What should I do if my dog won’t eat or drink and vomits yellow fluid?
Not eating, not drinking, and yellow vomit may be gastroenteritis or distemper/parvovirus. Unvaccinated dogs should be tested; contagious cases need prompt vet care. For gastroenteritis, use dog-specific anti-emetics and probiotics.
I have a Samoyed puppy (two months and eight days) with repeated dry heaving and clear runny nose. The vet tested negative for distemper and parvovirus, blood test showed high white cells and anemia, and gave three shots (anti-inflammatory, stomach, cold), then three more at night. Today it first passed bloody stool at home, the bloody part mucus-like. Normally energy is good and appetite normal.
Kennel cough starts abruptly with cough, runny nose, sneeze, and eye/nose discharge, progressing from dry to wet cough; common in 2-3 month pups. Your dog does not match it; follow the vet for further diagnosis and treatment.
Why Does Your Cat Leak Urine?
Why does a cat leak urine? There are many causes, and a cat's urinary tract is complex, so in most cases a vet visit is needed to check. If you cannot get to a clinic right away, you can try the causes below from our experts.
Around 11 pm I found my dog vomited a few mouthfuls of white foam, and after vomiting it licked its mouth from time to time; about half an hour later it vomited again, then licked a few times and stopped, and after a few minutes fell asleep. What could this be, how to treat it, is it life-threatening?
Teddy foamy vomit can relate to digestion, nerves, or respiration. Unsuitable food or foreign objects may cause gastritis or enteritis; asthma or pneumonia add cough and breathing trouble. Let it fast; if vomiting continues, see a vet.
Why are my cat’s pupils different sizes?
From the photo, one eye likely has corneal damage or ulcer; get a vet ophthalmology exam and use corneal-repair medication. Corneal damage often comes from trauma, foreign objects, or infectious/parasitic disease; removing the cause lets it recover quickly.
Why does my duck walk unsteadily?
Unsteady walking may be from calcium deficiency, infectious serositis, a cold, or soft-leg disease. Serositis hits 1-8 week ducklings with lethargy and weak feet; soft-leg disease comes from damp, poorly ventilated, nutrient-poor housing. Find the cause and treat accordingly.
There are hardened yellow-liquid particles in the ear that cannot be picked; the cat keeps scratching its ear. I put anti-mite drops yesterday and today they appeared.
The cat may have ear inflammation or ear mites; check for discharge, which suggests mites causing itch and scratching with redness and scabs. Other parasites like ticks or fleas also itch. Find the specific cause for targeted treatment.
Why is my dog’s anus so dirty?
From the unclear photo, the area is dirty, possibly from diarrhea smearing fur, or from maggots or tapeworm. Maggots may follow an untreated wound; white worm-like things from the anus suggest roundworm or tapeworm, needing prompt deworming.
Why does my kitten keep tearing up?
From the photo the cat most likely has conjunctivitis from trauma, bacteria, viruses, or irritants. Signs are tearing, red eyes, and crusted lids; untreated it may spread. Find the cause; bacterial cases use oxytetracycline, viral cases need antiviral drugs.
