My dog keeps dry-coughing and gagging, especially at night, with bright red bloody stool, abdominal twitching, and looking at its rear – what’s wrong?
Dry cough, gagging, and bloody stool may be from parasite infection; ascites, parvovirus, or coronavirus cannot be ruled out. Symptoms are already serious - see a vet to confirm the cause. If internal parasites are found, deworm promptly and give gut-lining repair medicine to ease signs.
It is the second day since the dog came home. Its stool is a bit loose and sometimes has a little blood, but energy and appetite are good. The pet store said it is a parasite issue and told us to come for an injection, but we worry it may have an underlying problem. What is the best treatment? Also, it has no crate yet and likes to sleep on the floor.
Loose stool with blood can be caused by indigestion, internal parasites, or viral infection. For a new dog, a full veterinary checkup is best to confirm the cause; if parasites are the issue, timely deworming plus vet-prescribed antibiotics and gut-repair medication will aid recovery.
My puppy is foaming at the mouth and its belly is very bloated
Foaming and a bloated belly may come from poisoning, internal parasites, gut blockage, or a viral infection - all serious. Take the puppy to a vet promptly; X-rays and abdominal ultrasound may be needed to find the cause. If gastric torsion, intussusception, or acute gastric dilation is present, surgery may be required.
My cat had blood in the stool once with a dangling drop, now only clear fluid at the anus
Soft stool with blood may come from internal parasites, panleukopenia, indigestion, or damaged gut lining. If the cat is alert and eating, serious panleukopenia is unlikely; messy or changed food suggests indigestion - try short fasting plus probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. If not dewormed recently, get a fecal exam for coccidia, roundworms, or giardia.
My cat is in good spirits but has diarrhea
Diarrhea needs a clear cause for targeted care. Low odds of panleukopenia given good spirits; internal parasites (roundworm, coccidia, tapeworm, hookworm, giardia) need dewormer; indigestion or gut disorder may become gastroenteritis — fast a day, give probiotics, anti-diarrhea, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Overeating, cold, or chilling also cause diarrhea; avoid excess food and keep warm.
Why can’t my dog gain weight?
Many causes: poor diet, too much exercise, parasites, poor gut absorption, stress, illness. Unbalanced nutrition makes it thin; too much exercise burns energy; internal parasites steal nutrients. If thin with other symptoms, see a vet.
Vomiting pale yellow fluid for about half a month, but energy is still good
Based on your description, the dog has vomited for about half a month but remains energetic; this is mainly considered to come from diet issues, chronic gastroenteritis, or intestinal parasite infection. If the diet is greasy or hard to digest, it burdens the gut and can trigger vomiting and other digestive problems. Second, chronic gastroenteritis can also cause frequent vomiting; in that case give some anti-inflammatory medicine and probiotics to improve it. In addition, if the dog is infected with internal parasites, the multiplying parasites damage the gut environment and cause vomiting. Find the cause of the vomiting first so you can apply the right treatment.
The cat vomited; what could it be?
Cat vomiting has many causes: indigestion, viral infection, internal parasites, pancreatitis. Red/pink vomit may be blood from gut lining damage (e.g., foreign object). Fast briefly and watch; persistent or other signs need a vet.
My Golden Retriever puppy had diarrhea after the first vaccine, with dead worms in stool
Dead worms in the stool mean the Golden has internal parasites. The diarrhea after vaccination may be from vaccine allergy or from the parasite infection. Deworm first, then vaccinate; take it to a vet for examination and targeted treatment.
Why is my dog not eating and lethargic?
Not eating and lethargy accompany many canine diseases, such as indigestion, internal parasites, anxiety, or infectious disease. Check the body, interact more, and adjust the diet; if it persists, see a vet.
