My dog has been unwell for four or five days; thought it ate something bad, gave gut medicine, but worse – diarrhea, vomiting yellow fluid, very yellow urine, can’t stand, legs tremble, lies all day, won’t eat even when offered, only drinks a little.
Unwell for days needs a vet promptly; self-diagnosis and drugs worsen it. Not eating for days then unable to stand suggests hypoglycemia, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance; yellow urine and no eating may indicate liver or pancreas issues. Get fluids and diagnosis.
What can a five-month-old Poodle eat?
A five-month Poodle mainly eats puppy kibble, with some fresh fruit and other foods for variety to avoid pickiness. Occasionally make dog meals or give nutrition paste and few treats to boost appetite. At five months it grows fast, so ensure enough nutrition.
My dog vomited at night; first undigested kibble, then about five times with nothing left, still retching
Vomiting undigested food first then nothing suggests indigestion causing gastroenteritis or another disease. Try pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and anti-vomit meds and watch. If no improvement, see a vet. Ongoing vomiting can cause dehydration and even threaten life.
My cat keeps vomiting yellow fluid and sits in a crouch; started today, vomited four or five times; want to watch before the vet — what is it?
Yellow vomit has many causes: poor feeding, belly chill, hairballs, parasites, viral/bacterial infection, organ issues. If spirits are okay after vomiting, fast and give mild fluids like diluted glucose; if anorexia, fever, or diarrhea appear, see a vet.
At first the dog had scabs on its body; after feeding dexamethasone it has had diarrhea and won’t eat for five days
Diarrhea after dexamethasone may be flora imbalance, more likely in gut-sensitive dogs. Dexamethasone is a steroid anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, anti-proliferative) but shouldn't be used long or stopped suddenly - taper the dose. Take it to a vet for a gut check; if mild, probiotics plus diet adjustment can recover.
A five-month-old puppy started having diarrhea the day before yesterday (still lively), yesterday began vomiting phlegm-like stuff, then stopped eating and drinking and became listless, and today has bloody stool and can’t walk.
Based on your description—diarrhea, vomiting, no eating or drinking, lethargy, bloody stool, can't walk—if unvaccinated, it's likely distemper or parvovirus. Get viral screening and treatment fast; these are life-threatening and home care wastes critical time.
My kitten is five days old.
Your description suggests the kitten likely inhaled amniotic fluid or has pulmonary edema, which makes survival unlikely. To improve the odds, get it to a vet for ICU care at once; with breathing trouble it needs assisted respiration, then an incubator with 24-hour monitoring.
My three-month-old kitten had chicken-breast cat food for the first time today; this afternoon it started twitching its nose, possibly coughing about five or six times, but with no discharge and good spirits.
Nose twitching after eating chicken-breast cat food may just be from eating too fast and choking—keep observing. If it persists, it could signal a respiratory infection, pneumonia, heart disease, or blood parasites, needing a vet check. Also avoid overfeeding favorite foods to prevent rapid eating and choking.
My guinea pig suddenly sneezed five or six times but has no runny nose. Why?
Repeated sneezing in guinea pigs may be caused by irritating odors irritating the nasal passages. Improve ventilation and avoid dusty bedding. Sneezing can also occur if the guinea pig chokes while drinking, and this usually resolves on its own.
My cat has not eaten or drunk for four or five days and now has bloody stool
Bloody stool can come from acute gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, or parasites. See a vet for blood, antigen, and fecal tests; hospitalization may be needed if severe.
