My dog is foaming at the mouth and has blood in its stool.
Vomiting and bloody stool have many causes needing targeted treatment. First fast and withhold water, give cimetidine for vomiting and bismuth for diarrhea, then see a vet. Causes include swallowed sharp objects, acute gastroenteritis from bad food or parasites, and viral diseases like parvovirus.
My dog had a slight fever that went down, now listless, not eating, and sometimes trembling.
Listlessness, fever, and poor appetite signal disease; trembling may be from cold or pain. Check for vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose, cough, or breathing trouble and see a vet if found. Offer favorite food and probiotics, and keep warm; trembling when warm suggests pain needing prompt diagnosis.
My cat is listless, always lying down, cries when touched, and often has (sometimes yellow) eye discharge.
The cat looks like a Scottish Fold; if it lies still and cries when touched, suspect inherited cartilage disease. This is very common in poorly bred folds, causing swollen tail/knee/ankle joints and pain. A vet can confirm and prescribe pain relief and chondroitin.
