What happens if a cat doesn’t eat kibble for two days?
A healthy adult cat is usually fine for two days if it has water, but a kitten or sick cat may get low blood sugar and gut damage. Resume small, frequent meals; if it refuses food, see a vet for fluids.
My cat had vomiting/diarrhea (white foam) and a fever shot, then vet diagnosed gastroenteritis; now no diarrhea but vomiting thick yellow fluid, not eating, low energy
Have the vet determine if it's bacterial or viral gastroenteritis and follow treatment without stopping meds early. For repeated yellow-fluid vomiting, stop oral food/meds and use IV/subcutaneous fluids, then gut-repair meds, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and probiotics; feed liquid, easily digestible food later.
Is the mortality rate on this report high?
Parvovirus itself has a high mortality rate. The report is concerning, with kidney damage, low white cells, and dehydration, so the dog needs prompt fluids, kidney support, antivirals, and immune support. With timely professional care there is still hope.
Dog Vomits and Has Tomato-Colored Watery Stool, Now Lethargic
Vomiting with tomato-colored stool and lethargy strongly suggests canine parvovirus, common in unvaccinated puppies. Fast and seek immediate viral screening; other causes like bone injury or bacterial enteritis need differentiation. Parvo is often fatal, so hospitalize for fluids and antiviral, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic care.
How to Treat Gastritis in Dogs?
Vet treatment for gastritis includes fluids, anti-inflammatory pain relief and gut care. Use anti-vomiting and antibiotic drugs, give fluids for balance, then feed bland food and probiotics at home.
Symptoms of Urinary Stones in Guinea Pigs
Guinea pig urinary stones usually come from too much calcium and too little water, causing painful, slow, or bloody urination. Diagnose early by signs, urine color, palpation, or X-ray, and treat with fluids, potassium citrate, or a vet procedure.
My cat suddenly lost energy, then vomited, and keeps vomiting blood.
Sudden lethargy and vomiting blood suggest gastric mucosal bleeding (foreign object, ulcer, acute bleeding); if free-roaming, consider toxin like rat poison causing bleeding, lethargy, convulsions. Get to a vet for infectious and blood tests, possibly endoscopy; give anti-emetic, hemostatic, and fluids meanwhile.
My cat hasn’t eaten for two days, vomits yellow fluid, and is low in energy; what is wrong?
Yellow vomit and not eating may be distemper/coronavirus, obstruction, hairballs, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or internal disease (hepatitis, kidney failure, pancreatitis). Get a vet infectious-disease and blood check. Withhold food 0.5-1 day; if frequent vomiting, fluids and anti-emetics; do not force feed.
My roughly two-month kitten, bought a week ago; the night before last at midnight it vomited once, a thin white worm like roundworm, then next afternoon vomited again without worm, just foam, then through the night vomited about ten times, sometimes yellow fluid, eating or drinking nothing, even milk vomited. What do I do?
White thin worms are likely roundworms; frequent vomiting with no food risks pancreatitis and fatty liver, so vet fluids first to correct electrolytes, then deworm. Use ivermectin/fenbendazole-based drugs plus antibiotics; give probiotics later. Do NOT give milk (lactose intolerance).
My cat has repeated urinary blockage for over two months; used ampicillin, ribavirin, furosemide with little effect; blocks about every 5 days; white discharge blocks the urethra.
Repeated blockage is likely idiopathic cystitis or urinary stones; with weak antibiotic effect, get X-ray, ultrasound, and urinalysis. Stones may need surgery; urethritis needs catheterization and fluids. After recovery ensure ample water to prevent recurrence.
