One-and-a-half-month kitten foamed at the mouth and vomited; taken for a shot and meds, no improvement, then diagnosed with panleukopenia at the vet, on IV fluids for 7-8 days, still eats nothing, slight bloody stool, empty gut
Panleukopenia attacks the gut lining and causes loss of appetite and ongoing vomiting, so early treatment withholds food and uses IV nutrition to prevent dehydration. The vet gives symptomatic care plus leukocyte boosters, interferon, and panleukopenia monoclonal antibody. Once vomiting, diarrhea, and blood stop, feed small amounts of liquid high-protein food and appetite-stimulating injections.
My dog walks unsteadily and is listless; had two days of IV fluids, sometimes energetic sometimes not
Whole-body weakness and low spirits have many causes and need a vet's detailed exam to find the cause. IV nutrition (saline, glucose) only maintains strength and treats the symptom, not the root. Share the dog's records and test reports so the vet can analyze the cause.
My four-month-old cat had an abdominal exam three days ago that mentioned the stomach system, has been on IV fluids for three days, improves at night but is worse mornings and noon, is drooling and low-energy, and the vet wants a 600 yuan biochemistry test I can’t afford. Please help.
From the uploaded film the cause can't be determined, so specific advice is limited. The current meds target inflammation, vomiting, pain, and nutrition; if ineffective, further testing is needed. Try a larger clinic to avoid delaying care.
Cat with panleukopenia got IV fluids and now drools and has runny nose; is that okay
If no drooling/runny nose before the IV but appears after, it may be an allergic reaction to a drug. See a vet for targeted treatment. Panleukopenia is serious; take it seriously.
My dog had postpartum hypocalcemia, improved with IV fluids; can I keep nursing with more calcium
If postpartum hypocalcemia is mild and calcium is supplemented, the dog can keep nursing with calcium gluconate, bone broth, and goat milk. Severe cases with convulsions should not nurse.
It hasn’t eaten for three days and won’t even take force-feeding; I thought it was gastroenteritis and gave medicine but it vomited it up. On the fourth day the hospital confirmed feline panleukopenia (distemper), and it’s had IV fluids for four days. White blood cells went 4.7 to 3.8 to 5.1 to 7.9, FPV-AG now 38.18 ug/ml. It can eat now and energy is better — does it still need treatment, or can we stop and let it recover slowly?
Feline panleukopenia is usually dangerous, with a course of about 7–10 days; active treatment and monitoring are advised, and stopping medication should follow the vet's instructions — never stop on your own. Continue until energy, appetite, and stool are normal, then recheck WBC, SAA, and antigen; after they return to normal ranges, some antivirals and fluids can be tapered, but gut repair needs longer care.
My dog was diagnosed with pyloric edema and has had IV fluids for days with no improvement; what should I do?
Pyloric edema shows swelling at the pylorus; simple inflammatory edema responds to acid inhibitors, mucosal protectants, antibiotics, and fluids. If no improvement, recheck endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, and blood to find the root cause like pancreatitis or cancer.
How Long Does a Dog with Postpartum Eclampsia Need IV Fluids?
Postpartum eclampsia is acute calcium loss after birth; IV treatment usually lasts about 3 days along with calcium supplements. Prevent it by ensuring enough calcium during pregnancy and lactation.
My Pomeranian Ate Sleeping Pills and Was Treated – Does It Need More IV Fluids?
After induced vomiting, a three-day course of fluids and shots is advised to clear the drug and protect the liver and kidneys. If fine after three days, follow vet advice at home. Keep all human meds away.
My cat had feline distemper 10 days ago and was given IV fluids and a blood transfusion, but now it still has diarrhea. Why, and what can I do?
Diarrhea can persist after distemper if parasites or bacterial enteritis are present, or because antibiotics disrupted the gut flora. Probiotics and a gastrointestinal prescription diet are recommended, with follow-up testing.
