Ate a piece of cocoa-butter-substitute chocolate – what to do?
If only cocoa-butter-substitute chocolate was eaten, no panic - just fast and watch. It is not true chocolate, just cocoa-powder-and-sugar fat, but cheap ones dominate the market. Not toxic, but high trans-fat and sugar burden the liver/kidneys and risk diabetes.
Vomiting since yesterday, no food, lots of blood in stool, standing not sitting, foamy mouth, vomiting pale yellow clear fluid.

No pet hospital in the hometown; what medicine to relieve first?
Small belly bumps are usually superficial pyoderma or eczema from dampness. Rinse with saline, clean pustules, disinfect with diluted peroxide or iodine, apply Pipute spray and zinc oxide twice daily. Oral antibiotics or medicated baths help; collar on; disinfect the environment.
Cat came from my aunt’s about 11-12 days ago and lost over a pound.
Weight loss may be from new-environment stress lowering appetite, or food issues reducing absorption, or low meat-protein intake - feed quality pet food with fresh meat. Disease like parasites or stress-induced FIP is possible; a sudden drop needs a checkup.
What happens if a dog’s spleen is removed?
Spleen removal lowers immunity short-term - the spleen makes blood cells, filters blood, aids immunity. Post-op care is needed. Other organs compensate, so the dog survives but get regular checkups.
What happens if a cat drinks milk?
Cats drinking milk often get bellyache, diarrhea, vomiting from lactose intolerance - low lactase, poor absorption. Goat milk is better absorbed and more protein. Pet-specific goat milk is ideal.
Hello, my two-month-old puppy started with runny nose and congestion today, is less active – what should I do?
Runny nose and congestion are not always a cold; a normal cold keeps good spirit and appetite - use Shuanghuanglian and cefadroxil, keep warm, light nutritious food, better in 3-5 days. But unvaccinated puppies may have distemper, parainfluenza, pneumonia - with rapid breathing, fever, cough, see a vet.
Kitten injured on the inner thigh, a patch of skin missing, keeps licking – how to treat the wound?
If the wound is from an infected injury, shave the fur around it and rinse with iodine or saline to avoid secondary contamination, then apply a pet wound ointment such as erythromycin or Chuanglide spray. You can also give oral broad-spectrum antibiotics to control infection.
Cat tearing, eyes look a bit red.
A little eye discharge is normal, usually diet-related - oily food causes heat and tear stains. If daily heavy discharge, wipe it and switch to a light, digestible diet with more water. Eye diseases like keratitis or conjunctivitis also cause it - treat the cause.
Ate pork and chicken before; hasn’t eaten in 10 days, just a little water, lies by the AC blowing warm air, given amoxicillin and children’s cold medicine a few days, now cries occasionally.
The photo shows a weak, thin cat with eye/nose discharge and rough coat in a loaf position - severe abdominal discomfort, likely sick long. Get a hospital check; could be chronic GI disease, fatty liver, triaditis, FIP. Long fasting risks fatty liver; syringe-feed easily digested food.
