My dog has diarrhea; the first few times were only a little loose, and today was its vaccine day but it has diarrhea — if it improves, how many days until it can be vaccinated?
Diarrhea means gut upset from overeating, irregular diet, bacteria, parasites, or infection, and must not be ignored. Vaccinate only after the diarrhea fully improves for 3 to 7 days and a vet confirms the dog is healthy. Check the kibble is sealed and unspoiled, feed regularly twice a day, reduce food and add probiotics during diarrhea, and if no improvement get a fecal or blood test.
My dog went out to play, came home and stopped eating, vomited the next day, only drinks water, sleeps more, and is less lively with low energy lately
Vomiting yellow fluid with no eating or drinking is usually a serious gastrointestinal disease and needs a confirmed cause before medication. For indigestion, give probiotics; for gastroenteritis with frequent vomiting, withhold food and give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic plus probiotics; if no improvement, get IV fluids. Distemper or parvovirus also cause yellow vomiting and need early hospital care.
My dog vomited dog-food-like stuff yesterday, then refused food, ate once at noon, then refused, vomited yellow fluid at night, then water, and had diarrhea this morning and won’t eat
This may be a digestive problem: indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites, foreign-body blockage, or distemper, parvovirus, coronavirus, or other infection. See a vet soon. If not, briefly withhold food and water, then feed small frequent easily digested soft meals, and watch symptoms; give pet anti-emetic, anti-inflammatory, and antidiarrheal per the vet's guidance.
What does a ball python eat?
A ball python mainly eats small rodents and small birds. In captivity, food should be chosen according to the snake's size, starting with pinky mice and gradually increasing portion size as it grows, while avoiding overly large prey that could cause indigestion or injury.
Why does a cat foam at the mouth after eating fish or drinking milk?
Foaming after fish or milk may be food sensitivity or allergy, since cats cannot tolerate lactose in milk and some fish upset the stomach; it may also be food poisoning from toxic fish or dairy, or overfeeding causing acute gastritis. Stop these foods and see a vet if the cat is lethargic or keeps vomiting.
What happens if a Golden Retriever eats rice?
Eating rice does not harm a Golden Retriever, since rice is mainly carbohydrate that converts to energy. However, suddenly eating a large amount can cause indigestion such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, and relying on rice long term leads to unbalanced nutrition, so use dog food as the staple.
How should you feed the Chinese pond turtle?
The Chinese pond turtle is omnivorous and eats vegetables, fruit, and meat. In captivity, use specialized turtle pellets as the staple and add moderate amounts of fruit, vegetables, and lean meat such as apple, carrot, small fish, shrimp, pork, and beef. Only feed lean meat to avoid indigestion.
What happens if a Golden Retriever eats paper?
A Golden Retriever that eats a small amount of paper is usually fine, since its large size and sturdier intestines pass the paper without blockage, expelling it in the stool. But eating a lot can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation needing surgery, and dyed or bleached paper can harm health, so do not let it eat paper freely.
What happens if a cat eats raw fish?
Feeding cats raw fish poses several risks: parasites such as hookworms and roundworms can infest the intestines, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and anemia; mishandled fish may carry bacteria and viruses that disrupt gut flora; and eating raw fish often can make cats picky eaters. Cooked fish or formulated cat food is safer.
What happens if an Alaskan puppy overeats?
Overeating increases an Alaskan puppy's digestive burden and can cause indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting, and gastric dilation. Long-term overfeeding easily leads to obesity and raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and bone disease, shortening lifespan, so feed measured meals by age, weight, and activity and ensure exercise.
