A stressed dog typically shows loss of appetite, lethargy, nervous hiding, and trembling; severe cases may involve vomiting, diarrhea, loss of bowel or bladder control, frantic tongue licking, and even convulsions or death.

Causes and Treatment of Koi Enteritis
Koi enteritis is usually caused by poor water quality, improper diet, or parasite infection. Affected fish show loss of appetite, slowed movement, isolation from the group, darkened or faded color, stringy feces, and a red, swollen vent. Take these signs seriously and treat promptly. Treatment depends on severity—mild cases are simple.
Why is my rabbit not eating, drinking or moving?
A rabbit that won't eat, drink or move is likely unwell. If it lives only on hay it may become malnourished and deficient in trace elements, causing loss of appetite and lethargy, so offer occasional fruit and vegetables. Constipation can cause the same signs - try pet probiotics and honey water to aid digestion. Dirty water causing enteritis or dehydration can also be the cause, so see a vet if it persists.

What should I do if my puppy has diarrhea, vomiting, and won’t eat?

What Are the Symptoms of Feline Panleukopenia (Cat Plague)?
Symptoms include repeated fever, frequent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Later, the cat may stop eating, pass blood in stool, and vomit foam; prolonged vomiting and dehydration make it weak and unsteady, and without treatment it can die within days. It's highly fatal—vaccinate with the FVRCP shot early.
My golden hamster has closed eyes, weak limbs and rapid breathing, and was sleepy and not eating before. What is wrong and what should I do?
Loss of appetite, weak limbs and rapid breathing in a hamster are likely from heatstroke or pneumonia. Keep the room about 21 C, keep it warm, give a little glucose by mouth, and use paper bedding. A vet X-ray is best; rapid breathing may mean low oxygen and is life-threatening, so give oxygen and see a vet at once.
Can blackening on a goldfish’s body recover?
Whether blackening recovers depends on the cause. New fish adapting to water or poor water quality usually recover in a few days after changes, but blackening with loss of appetite may signal disease and needs isolation and tank cleaning.
