My Dog Threw Up Everything, Three Times, the Last with Only Thick Foam
Dogs vomit for many reasons: fast eating, overeating, gut upset, foreign objects, kidney failure, gastroenteritis or viruses. Persistent vomiting needs a vet; mild cases may need fasting and probiotics.
Can Turtles Get Constipated? Why and How to Fix It
Turtles do get constipated, usually from low fiber, swallowed objects, too little exercise, or a poor environment. Fixes range from edible oil or mild laxatives and enemas to probiotics, with vet care for severe cases that become obstruction. This article explains the causes and treatments.
It passed jelly-like, bloody stool and is listless; what is this and how to treat it?
Bloody jelly stool in a turtle is usually gastroenteritis from water temperature, water quality, or diet. Keep it dry-warm at 25-30C, offer clean water, and see a vet; injectable gentamicin per weight if needed. Drug dosing is critical.
My cat hasn’t eaten for two days, vomits yellow fluid, and is low in energy; what is wrong?
Yellow vomit and not eating may be distemper/coronavirus, obstruction, hairballs, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or internal disease (hepatitis, kidney failure, pancreatitis). Get a vet infectious-disease and blood check. Withhold food 0.5-1 day; if frequent vomiting, fluids and anti-emetics; do not force feed.
How to Get a Turtle to Eat
A turtle may refuse food because the water is below 15°C (it wants to hibernate), the water is below shell level (young turtles need water pressure to eat), it is bored of one food, or it is ill. Warm the water, raise the level, vary the diet, or treat illness. This article explains the four factors.
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 used to feed my cat kibble, but the day before yesterday I suddenly fed only chicken breast all day, and yesterday it kept vomiting and was low in energy.
Per the test results, the chicken breast may not be the cause; the cat likely has a serious underlying disease. Blood markers are abnormal, suggesting severe malnutrition; acute gastroenteritis or FIP are possible. Follow the vet's advice for further tests and treatment.
My cat keeps being listless, vomiting and having diarrhea, and hides in corners by itself.
Listlessness with vomiting, diarrhea, and hiding may reflect gastroenteritis, infectious disease, or parasites. Spoiled food or swallowed objects can trigger it, as can a lack of deworming. Persistent signs warrant prompt veterinary diagnosis.
My dog vomited all yesterday, not today, but has a high temperature, eats nothing, and sleeps most of the day.
These signs most likely indicate illness rather than pregnancy, especially with fever and refusal to eat. An unspayed female's fever may signal pyometra; distemper, parvovirus, pancreatitis, or acute gastroenteritis are other possibilities. Prompt veterinary examination is urged to avoid a fatal delay.
