Can’t get glucose water in, won’t eat grass, looks paralyzed
A chinchilla that can't stand, is weak and refuses food may have severe low blood sugar—syringe glucose or hospital IV. Long lack of nutrition causes weakness. Could also be disease (respiratory, digestive, infectious). Give balanced diet (quality food, fresh grass); see a vet if weak.
My dog is weak in all limbs and listless after diarrhea—what should I do?
Diarrhea followed by limb weakness and low spirits may indicate mild dehydration; give rice porridge or warm sugar-salt water for fluids and electrolytes. Try pet anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal meds. If no improvement in half a day to a day, or diarrhea returns, see a vet to rule out parasites or distemper/parvo/coronavirus.
My dog started vomiting on the afternoon of July 28; the first two were food, then after water it was clear fluid; by July 30 it stopped vomiting but had a little bloody stool, a drop or two each time; yesterday no blood but loose stool, no appetite, lies down a lot
Vomiting, bloody loose stool, poor appetite, and lethargy are common in digestive disease: parasites, bacterial or viral enteritis; if vaccines are incomplete, suspect parvovirus or coronavirus. See a vet for screening, fecal and blood tests; if something was eaten, rule out foreign-body blockage or perforation by X-ray and ultrasound, then treat with antivirals, antibiotics, hemostatics, anti-emetics, antidiarrheals, and fluids.
My cat started screaming at noon yesterday, then convulsed and vomited yellow; it happened again at noon today; duration two days; no hospital check; gave a gut probiotic
Screaming, convulsions, and yellow vomiting may be from digestive issues, poisoning, or nervous-system problems. Screaming signals pain, convulsions are neurologic, vomiting is digestive; analyzing alone risks misdiagnosis and wrong medicine could be fatal, so urgently fast the cat and take it to a vet for a full exam and tests, with treatment possibly including medication, fluids, and antibiotics.
My cat vomits long white worms; I looked it up and it seems parasitic — how to treat it? It usually won’t eat or drink, foams, and occasionally passes worms.
Long white worms are likely roundworms, common gut parasites spread via feces or food. Treat with a suitable dewormer such as pyrantel, praziquantel, or albendazole per the vet. Since the cat won't eat and foams, it may have secondary gastroenteritis needing fluids, anti-emetics, and gut repair. Deworm every 3 months and clean the environment to prevent reinfection.

My two-month-old dog ate some pork from my pork patty on a walk, played, then vomited it, and later her face swelled and one ear drooped-what happened?
Vomiting then facial swelling after eating a pork patty may be food allergy or poisoning from additives/seasonings. Severe ongoing symptoms need a vet to confirm allergy and give desensitization shots and fluids; otherwise anaphylaxis is possible. The vet will examine and treat.
