My dog vomited white with food at first, tonight it looks like bloody water, low energy
A bloated belly, vomiting, and lethargy can come from indigestion, blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, or parvovirus. Fast for 12 hours and give probiotics; if vomiting continues or other symptoms appear, see a vet to find the cause.
What happens if a dog eats a cat?
Possible: house dogs used to a single diet may get digestive upset (diarrhea, vomiting, bloating) from suddenly eating cat meat. Swallowing hair, bones, indigestible parts can cause gut blockage needing emergency surgery. Cats may carry parasites (roundworm, tapeworm, fleas, toxoplasma); the dog risks infection.
Dog vomited half-digested food, then white foam, now clear water with foam
Vomiting undigested food then foam suggests fast eating, overeating, or foreign objects; fast and give probiotics. If it persists, seek a vet for deeper causes.
Wants to defecate but can’t; now there’s anal bleeding, watery blood — will hairball paste help?
A dog that ate hair may get a gut blockage; promote bowel movement to pass it — feed fiber-rich food or pet hairball paste. Small amounts usually pass on their own; if paste doesn't work, surgery may be needed to remove it.
A stray tortoiseshell mother cat—unknown when she got pregnant, belly has been huge for at least four months but no signs of labor. What should I do?
A cat's pregnancy is only about 2 months (65-69 days for purebreds). Four months without delivery is abnormal and may indicate ascites (FIP, cardiac, or liver), digestive issues (constipation or blockage), obesity, an abdominal tumor (common in senior cats), or hypoalbuminemia. See a vet to determine the cause.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid, listless, and has no appetite.
Yellow vomit has many causes, including gastritis, blockage, indigestion, pancreatitis, nephritis, liver or gallbladder disease, and poisoning. Get an abdominal ultrasound, blood, and fecal tests. If a vet is inconvenient, fast 6 to 8 hours; if vomiting stops, give amoxicillin-clavulanate and cimetidine plus probiotics. Give glucose electrolyte water during fasting to prevent dehydration.
Dog vomits everything, even water; what medicine
When vomiting everything including water, oral drugs don't work; go to the vet for injections. Even if it took medicine it would vomit, irritating the gut more. First find the cause (blockage, gastritis, pancreatitis, virus) then treat by IV/injection.
My cat only drinks water, won’t eat kibble, and vomits undigested kibble
Poor appetite with undigested-food vomiting suggests a stomach problem like blockage, indigestion, or gastroenteritis. Fast it and give probiotics; see a vet if no improvement.
My dog vomits everything it eats and has constant clear vomit with diarrhea – why?
Repeated vomiting and diarrhea usually mean acute gastroenteritis or pancreatitis from infection, bad diet or blockage. See a vet; if unvaccinated, rule out parvovirus and coronavirus. At home, fast briefly and use pet meds once vomiting eases.
She stopped eating kibble a few days ago but ate cat strips; the last two days she won’t even eat strips, chicken breast, or shrimp, and drinks little. She poops and pees normally but a bit large; energy is fine, very active. Yesterday morning she vomited a little white clear fluid, then nothing since. What’s wrong?
Sudden not eating with vomiting suggests gastroenteritis, parasites, or blockage, or hairballs if no hairball paste lately. Try hairball paste; if no improvement, get an X-ray for blockage. If just inflammation, antacids and anti-inflammatories suffice.
