How do I care for a two-month-old kitten?
At two months, just weaned; maternal antibodies drop, immunity weak, prone to disease. Care tips: first deworm internally/externally, observe a week, if normal get the FVRCP (cat triple) vaccine.

My male cat started vomiting on the third day after neutering—it brings up undigested kibble. What’s wrong?
Vomiting on day 3 after neutering is abnormal; within 24h it's anesthesia affecting gut motility causing reflux. Day-3 vomiting may be hairballs, throat injury, indigestion, or stress. If once or twice with yellow fluid/undigested food, try probiotics and anti-inflammatory; if hairball, give hairball paste; if frequent, see a vet.

What should I do about my dog’s soft stools?

The vet did an ultrasound on my cat; why is my cat’s belly enlarged?
An enlarged belly can be from gas, constipation, ascites, organ enlargement, tumors, or pregnancy. The X-ray shows stool and gas in the intestines, suggesting digestive issues, bloating, constipation. Combine with other tests. If stable, give probiotics and digestive aids; if poor, follow vet's advice.
My cat has had diarrhea since the day before yesterday; once there were undigested vegetable leaves in it, and this morning there was red liquid. The discharge the last two days looks like the picture – with bits mixed in. Its spirits are good.
Based on your description, the cat's diarrhea may be indigestion from improper diet; if there is red liquid it may indicate secondary bacterial enteritis - for instance, the cat ate unclean vegetable leaves. Cats are carnivores, and some raw plants can cause indigestion and diarrhea. In this case, it is recommended to withhold food for one day and give the cat pet anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and probiotic medication, spacing the probiotics, anti-inflammatories, and anti-diarrheals about 30 minutes apart to avoid affecting the probiotics. After the stools improve, feed only a small amount of easily digestible kibble or staple canned food. Finally, if it keeps recurring without improvement, parasites, the living environment, or contagious disease may be the cause, so take the cat to the vet for tests and treatment.
My cat ran out a few days ago and came back today, but as soon as it returned it kept foaming at the mouth and vomited for almost two hours, then threw up something unidentifiable, and after that started foaming again. What should I do?
Frequent vomiting in cats can be caused by many things, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, liver disease, kidney disease, intestinal obstruction or infectious disease, and food or drug poisoning. Based on your description, the cat vomited continuously after coming home from outside, so it may have accidentally eaten a poison outdoors causing toxicity, or it may have eaten unclean food leading to gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal blockage, or contracted an infectious disease causing frequent vomiting. If the cat vomits whatever it eats, it is recommended to withhold food and water promptly to avoid burdening the digestive tract, and take it to a veterinary hospital for examination as soon as possible. The veterinarian will give a corresponding treatment plan based on symptoms and test results; giving medication at home may worsen the condition. Also, keep the cat in a clean environment and prevent it from contacting harmful substances.

How can you tell when a dog is full?
A full dog usually shows contented expressions and behaviors, such as relaxing its body, lying down to rest, or moving aside to play. If it is still hungry, the dog may keep anxiously searching for food - sniffing around or circling the owner. Also, a full dog's belly is rounded, especially in puppies. If you worry about underfeeding, base portions on the dog's weight, age, and activity level, but avoid overfeeding at once to prevent indigestion.
My dog is throwing up white foam and has vomited over and over, and now there’s a bit of pink in it. But it’s the middle of the night and no clinic is open – what do I do?!
Vomiting pink foam suggests acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet, indigestion, or injury to the digestive tract lining. The dog first vomits white foam, and repeated vomiting damages the stomach lining, leading to pink, blood-tinged foam. You should withhold food and water immediately and avoid giving any medication yourself, then find a nearby emergency clinic for examination and treatment.
