What fluids and medications does a 3 kg dog need on days 1 to 3 after bladder stone surgery?
After bladder stone surgery, dogs usually need fluids, anti-inflammation, and diuretics, plus plenty of water and long-term prescription food. Exact fluids and drugs depend on the dog's indicators, so follow the vet's advice; a broad-spectrum antibiotic prevents infection. The condition often recurs, so monitor and recheck.
Lately my dog eats and drinks little, is easily startled, and trembles when scared, and isn’t as lively as before—what’s wrong?
Based on your description, the dog may be stressed, but nerve inflammation (neuritis) is also possible. Severe fright can cause tremors, but not eating/drinking usually signals illness—see a vet to find the cause. If it won't eat long, it needs IV fluids to avoid dehydration.
What medicine for a dog with liver poisoning?
Liver poisoning needs a liver-protectant and an antidote by poison type, plus anti-inflammatory, fluids, and energy. Do not self-medicate; follow a vet and use a liver prescription diet.
Is metabolic liver disease necessarily treated without fluid therapy? What medicine is needed for jaundice?
Treatment protects the liver and detoxifies and treats the primary disease. Fluid therapy is necessary, especially when the cat refuses food. Liver drugs via injection work better; protecting and detoxifying uses glucose and amino acids. But if neurological symptoms appear, amino acids and complex vitamins are contraindicated.
My cat has water kidney (hydronephrosis) from stress; any conservative option?
Surgery is preferred, but with normal labs a conservative try is possible: hospital fluids, catheterization, and vet-prescribed diuretics. Conservative care rarely cures; if no improvement in 3 days, operate.
My cat is blocked, had high potassium, fluids lowered it, but X-ray found pleural effusion and now it breathes fast with irregular heartbeat
Once a cat is blocked, catheterize promptly; with high potassium, catheterize and fluid simultaneously. Pleural effusion raises treatment risk - go to a large, proper hospital. Effusion may signal heart disease, so get an echo; give oxygen for post-tap rapid breathing.
My puppy’s early vaccine failed; it vomited yellow fluid, was diagnosed weak-positive parvo, had six shots but still vomited twice. Can it recover?
Parvo is curable with timely, full treatment: antivirals, symptom control, and fluids; just fluids and anti-vomit is not enough. See a vet; with care, a fair recovery chance exists.
After three days of injections and two days of fluids, my cat came home incontinent, lifeless, and dehydrated.
Feline gastritis varies by type; bacterial cases need oral antibiotics while viral cases need fluids. Incontinence and dehydration mean continued rehydration is urgent.
My dog can’t pass stool; it’s been on fluids for days and had enemas, but still nothing. What can I do without surgery?
X-rays show stool buildup. If you want to avoid surgery, try 3 more days of conservative care: enemas plus vet-guided laxatives (lubricating/emulsifying) that aid passage but can disrupt gut flora. If no effect, surgery is needed to avoid megacolon.
My kitten weighs about 3.75 kg; I gave 1 albendazole-ivermectin tablet (0.36 mg) and after 2 hours it vomited, walked unsteadily, and made distressed sounds. Is it poisoned? If a hospital is inconvenient, what can I do?
Overdosing dewormer can poison a cat; vomiting, drooling, weakness, unsteady gait, and diarrhea match poisoning. Induce vomiting within 30-60 min with an emetic or soapy water; beyond that, hospital gastric lavage and fluids are needed.
