Toy poodle, about 4 kg, poor appetite, vomiting white foam.
A dog vomiting white foam, refusing food, and having a poor appetite should be taken to a pet hospital promptly to check for parvovirus, distemper, or coronavirus infection. If the symptoms are not from a viral infection, they may come from gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, indigestion, or internal parasites.

Puppy with jelly-like stool full of worms after diarrhea – what is the cause?
Persistent diarrhea with worms and poor appetite suggests severe internal parasite infestation causing gastroenteritis, and secondary parvovirus cannot be ruled out. Have the vet screen for infectious disease; if not viral, continue the prescribed antidiarrheal and consider fluids, electrolytes and antibiotics.

My hamster keeps retching and shivering with a cold body.
Retching and shivering in a hamster have several causes. First, an overstuffed cheek pouch can make it spit food out when grabbed or too full; this is normal, but clear leftovers so they do not spoil.
My dog vomited once in the morning and then ate nothing, only drank water and was inactive, lying down for two days. I also hit it a few days ago and the next day its front left leg went lame. Is it a fracture? It does not cry when I touch the leg.
First find the cause of the vomiting. A single vomit with no other gut symptoms may not be digestive disease; check whether hitting it caused pain.
My cat has not moved all day, eaten nothing, looks dying, occasionally spits a little clear water, and barely meows. What should I do?
This is a critically ill cat; the cause needs a hospital exam. Common reasons for lethargy and foaming include gut diseases such as gastroenteritis, obstruction or megacolon; long-term poor diet or stress; internal diseases like liver, kidney or pancreatic disease; concussion, fracture or internal bleeding; and ingesting toxins such as rat poison causing neurological signs.
