A 2-month-old Labrador with diarrhea, vomiting white foam, lethargy, no barking, no tail wagging
Diarrhea, white-foam vomit and lethargy in a 2-month-old have many causes needing clinical workup; usually acute gastroenteritis from bad diet, or viral/parasitic/toxic. If it ate spoiled or greasy food, suspect acute gastroenteritis—fast, give probiotics/anti-inflammatories, and see a vet if weak/dehydrated. If unvaccinated/un-dewormed and young, consider parvovirus, coronavirus or distemper—highly fatal—requiring hospital care.
First vomited chicken breast, then yellow fluid with foam twice—what to do? Still active today, slept after vomiting
Vomiting after chicken breast and egg yolk is likely overeating causing acute gastroenteritis; kittens' immature digestion struggles with these. If alert, fast and observe with bismuth carbonate and cimetidine (protect mucosa, reduce acid); then probiotics. If no relief, see a vet.
My kitten has abnormal stool—sticky paste with the rear protruding
The photo shows unformed stool with jelly-like intestinal mucosa, usually diarrhea from diet, indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites or panleukopenia. If infrequent and alert, give probiotics and small frequent bland meals; if persistent, use intestinal anti-inflammatory/anti-diarrhea meds (bismuth carbonate, cefadroxil) 3-5 days, then deworm. If frequent with lethargy/vomiting, see a vet.
My duck is sneezing, its crop feels a bit swollen, and it is low in spirits
A swollen duck crop suggests impaction, possibly from moldy food causing chronic gastroenteritis; keep diet and environment clean and try yeast tablets or manually remove impacted food. It could also be airsacculitis—find the cause (bacteria, virus, heat/cold stress) and treat accordingly.
My cat has loose stools; after defecating its rear swells slightly with watery discharge, but it is alert yet has reduced appetite
Loose stools with a swollen rear may stem from gastroenteritis, parasites or food allergy; have a vet diagnose the cause. If a visit is hard, clean the area with saline-soaked gauze. For ongoing diarrhea, give pet anti-diarrheal and anti-inflammatory medication, and apply ointment to the swollen anus avoiding licking.
Why does my Pudding hamster have diarrhea?
Hamster diarrhea usually comes from diet, poor hygiene, or disease—unclean food, bacterial buildup from a dirty cage, or indigestion, gastroenteritis, or viral infection, which needs veterinary care.
My dog keeps vomiting, won’t eat, walks unsteadily, is listless, and visibly thin.
Persistent vomiting and not eating can cause low blood sugar and dehydrating shock, leading to unsteady walking, malnutrition, hind-limb weakness, and weight loss. IV fluids with glucose and electrolytes are needed, then treat the underlying cause. Causes include gastroenteritis, infectious disease, parasites, cold, stress, organ injury, or poisoning.
What to Do When a Cat Keeps Vomiting from a Weak Stomach?
As known, a cat's stomach is more fragile than other animals, so vomiting is common. But if it keeps vomiting, the owner must treat it. What to do when a cat with a weak stomach keeps vomiting? Let's see with our veterinarian.
My dog vomited this
Vomiting undigested food with normal energy may be from overeating, indigestion, or gastrointestinal disease. Overeating easily causes indigestion and such vomiting; fast for a day and give probiotics or yeast-based medicine to aid gut movement. Gastroenteritis can also cause it, so if probiotics do not help, see a vet for targeted treatment.
My dog was fine this morning, but by afternoon its anus was swollen and red, with diarrhea but no blood
Diarrhea likely caused anal redness and inflammation; long diarrhea irritates and infects the skin around the anus, causing redness, pain, and even prolapse. See a vet to find the diarrhea cause. Bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral enteritis all cause diarrhea with different treatments, needing vet-guided antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and gut-restoring medicine, fasting, and fluids to prevent dehydration.
