What oral medication is best for canine adenovirus type 2 and canine mycoplasma?
This mixed infection needs antivirals and antibiotics to relieve signs and prevent secondary infection; adenovirus type 2 causes infectious bronchitis treated symptomatically with cough/expectorant/anti-inflammatory drugs and electrolytes. Oral drugs work poorly, so injectables, IV, and nebulization are preferred.
My cat had unconscious stool leakage on the 21st, thought mild prolapse, but on the 22nd a vet found coccidia and gave medicine; the anus keeps leaking watery stool—normal?
Leakage can be mild colitis or loosened anal sphincter from diarrhea; coccidia causes frequent watery/bloody/mucus stools. Treat with sulfa drugs and amprolium for 1-2 weeks plus symptomatic care; if dehydrated, give fluids to correct balance.
What happens if a poisoned dog vomits?
Vomiting from poisoning is the body's self-defense to expel toxin; also diarrhea, blood in stool, seizures, lethargy, or odd excitement. Frequent vomiting/diarrhea cause dehydration and electrolyte loss; toxins can damage liver/kidneys. See a vet for detox (lavage, activated charcoal, fluids, antidotes).
Is my dog’s condition serious, and what medicine should it take?
From results, mild kidney damage and high total bile acids, possibly acid-reflux gastritis. Fast 8h to reduce gut irritation and prevent vomiting. If no more vomiting, try pet anti-vomiting meds (Zhitu Ning, metoclopramide, cimetidine) with antibiotics (amoxicillin, cephalexin). But oral meds may irritate gut and re-trigger vomiting—better to IV at clinic with anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory shots.
These are the test results—what could be the cause?
The report shows zero eosinophils (low immunity, little disease resistance), possibly a sample/machine issue. High C-reactive protein signals clear inflammation but not its cause. High blood sugar may be metabolic or from food/IVs before testing. Not eating may reflect inflammation or metabolic issues; more tests needed.
Dog vomits white foam and yellow fluid with undigested kibble, won’t eat or drink, only sleeps
This is usually acute gastroenteritis, possibly from parvovirus, coronavirus, bacteria, or parasites. Unvaccinated dogs should be tested for viral disease. If just digestive upset, give fluids for hydration and electrolytes, then anti-inflammatory, anti-vomiting, and anti-diarrhea meds.
Why does a Samoyed get pneumonia?
Samoyed pneumonia comes from infection, inhaled objects, or weak immunity, needing imaging and blood tests. Treatment varies by cause, from oxygen to antibiotics.
Can a dog with distemper be saved?
Early distemper is fairly treatable; days 1-5 are the golden window with antiviral and supportive care. Cure rate depends on age and timing; early about 60%, but puppies over 90% fatal and often with aftermath.
My newly vaccinated puppy vomited yellow foam and has watery diarrhea
Even one vaccine does not rule out virus; screen with a parvo test, and if positive, see a vet. A new-home pup may just have indigestion; if negative, fast half a day with glucose water, then use pet anti-diarrhea, anti-vomit, and gut meds.
My cat has ear problems, is lethargic, and vomits yellow fluid; what treatment and cost?
Ear mites or otitis media need an ear scope (about 100 yuan); with poor appetite and yellow vomit, also do bloodwork and gut checks. Mite treatment is cheap but slow; gut tests cost more, and hospitalization costs the most.
