After eating a wet food, my cat ran wildly and vomited undigested food, then frequently foams a little at the mouth and licks its tongue; still bright but eating less. What should I do?
This likely relates to gut discomfort from excess stomach acid, poor motility, or the wet food quality; stop the food, use anti-emetic and probiotics, and see a vet if diarrhea or lethargy follows.
My dog keeps whimpering and its belly twitches; this has lasted four days and today it seems near death.
A twitching belly can be from eating too fast and swallowing air, abdominal pain or wanting to vomit from pancreatitis/gastroenteritis/parvo, or breathing problems; painful or breathing-related cases need urgent vet care.
A four-month-old cat suddenly lost appetite and vomits yellow fluid, nine times in two days; ate a pesticide earlier and half an amoxicillin capsule. The pet hospital is closed, the cat’s nose and paw pads are pale. What do I do? Urgent!
Yellow vomit suggests gastroenteritis from diet or, if unvaccinated, possible obstruction or panleukopenia; tests include blood work, SAA, ultrasound, and a panleukopenia test. Pale nose and paws mean anemia and dehydration needing fluids; at home give glucose and anti-emetics.
Two-month-old dog, normal first day home, then diarrhea in the afternoon, milk at night, diarrhea at midnight, formed stool next morning, then diarrhea again with white mucus and a little blood, then yellow water and white stuff. Today gave gentamicin, stool color improved. What next?
The diarrhea is likely acute gastroenteritis from environment or diet change; fast 24 hours and give probiotics and pet anti-inflammatory. If it continues or vomits, check for infectious disease at a vet.
I bathed it the day before yesterday; it started vomiting the next day several times, and now today it has diarrhea.
Vomiting and diarrhea after a bath may be stress or chills causing gastroenteritis, needing fasting, fluids, and symptomatic care, or it may trigger distemper or parvovirus if unvaccinated, needing antiviral treatment.
My pet rabbit started having diarrhea last night and seemed off; I gave a little norfloxacin and it got worse. What should I do?
Rabbit diarrhea with lethargy should first be checked by a vet for parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or infectious disease rather than self-medicating. Treatment depends on the cause, such as warmth for chills or probiotics for indigestion.
What happens when an adult dog gets coccidia?
Adult dogs infected with coccidia typically develop diarrhea, blood at the end of the stool, jelly-like mucus, reduced appetite, and lethargy. Severe infections can cause anemia, weight loss, and vomiting, so a fecal exam is advised.
Last Night I Gave Her a Sausage, Some Pork, and Two Chew Sticks; She Vomited Several Puddles and Is Now Hiding Under the Bed and Won’t Come Out
When a dog vomits, first identify the cause. Overeating or a mixed diet can cause indigestion and vomiting; you can fast the dog for a day, then feed probiotics to aid digestion. For frequent vomiting use an anti-vomiting and anti-inflammatory medication, and avoid giving people food and snacks.
One of my three cats gulps food and now feels sick, wants to vomit but can’t, belly heaving for two days, no eating, no energy
The cat may have gut discomfort and dry heaves from competition eating; exact cause needs vet imaging. If mild, fast 1 day and add probiotics; if persistent, possible pancreatitis/gastritis, see a vet.
What happens if a dog eats spicy chicken?
Spicy chicken irritates the gut, causing diarrhea, pain, vomiting, even acute gastroenteritis and death from dehydration. Give probiotics; see a vet if severe. Avoid spicy foods.
