What happens if a dog eats lamb / mutton?
Lamb is nutritious — rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals — and moderate amounts benefit a dog. But its higher fatty acids and cholesterol can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or bloating if overfed. Raw lamb with bones, hair, or indigestibles can cause indigestion and blockage; it may also carry parasites, so cook it first.

What happens if a cat drinks mint water?
A cat drinking mint water reacts differently by individual and concentration.

Mint oil can also irritate the respiratory system, causing rapid breathing or coughing. Stop use and consult a vet if abnormal.
What happens if a dog eats duck meat?

Too many calcium tablets can disrupt a cat's calcium metabolism, causing indigestion, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Follow the vet's advice on dosage and watch for any abnormal reaction.
