Why Is My Cat Having Diarrhea Again?
Diarrhea is loose or unformed stool from food moving too fast through the gut to absorb water and nutrients, and it can be acute or chronic. Causes range from infections, parasites, and diet changes to stress and underlying gut disease; at home, keep water available, feed small frequent easily digested meals, and use smectite or pet probiotics for mild cases — but see a vet for blood, fever, lethargy, or ongoing diarrhea in an unvaccinated cat.
My Dog Has Soft Stools but Is Full of Energy — Does It Need Medicine?
A dog with soft stools but normal energy usually just has mild gut irritation from a new or rich food, and probiotics plus observation are often enough. But watch closely — parasites, parvovirus, or pancreatitis can start the same way, so any later fever, lethargy, or lost appetite means a vet visit.
What a Pomeranian Must Not Eat
Keep Pomeranians off expired or toxic food, raw meat (salmonella and E. coli), small sharp bones, leftovers (pancreatitis, too much salt), and strong irritants like onion, garlic, and chocolate. Feed lean meat, kibble with veg, and add calcium, fish oil, and lecithin.
Why Cats Vomit: Common Causes by Severity
Not all vomiting is harmless — while hairballs and eating too fast are normal, persistent or severe vomiting can signal parasites, foreign objects, or serious organ disease. Know the three types of throwing up and the warning signs that mean a trip to the vet.
Foods a Pomeranian Must Never Eat
Pomeranians are prone to pancreatitis and toxicity from common human foods. Chocolate, milk, alliums, cooked bones, spicy seasonings, raw meat, table scraps, and hard-to-digest seafood can cause anything from anemia to intestinal perforation — keep them all off the menu.
Five Common Cat Feeding Mistakes
Many well-meaning feeding habits actually harm cats, fish bones, lactose-laden milk, liver as a staple, overfeeding, and kibble-only diets all create health risks. A balanced diet with wet food, controlled portions, and the occasional fruit or vegetable keeps a cat healthy.
Is a Fatter Dog Really Cuter?
A chubby dog may look adorable, but obesity drives real disease—heart strain, joint and spinal load, breathing trouble, diabetes and pancreatitis from high-fat diets, and urinary stones. Help your dog slim down the scientific way, not just 'eat less, move more.'
Why Has Your Cat Suddenly Lost Its Appetite?
A cat that stops eating may just be bored with its food, stressed, or reacting to heat or vaccines—but it can also signal dental pain, pancreatitis, kidney disease, or a blockage. If the slump lasts more than two days, assume a medical cause and see a vet. A sudden increase in appetite can mean diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or parasites.
Why a Dog Has Diarrhea and Foul-Smelling Gas
Stinky gas and diarrhea usually mean the gut can't digest something — beans, pasta, or too much rich protein ferments into smelly ammonia. Rule out parvovirus in puppies and pancreatitis in adults, skip milk (lactose), and feed easy-to-digest food plus probiotics.
What to Feed a Dog With Diarrhea
When a dog has diarrhea, feed intestinal prescription food, egg-yolk therapy, apple therapy, or intestinal medicated cans to repair gastrointestinal damage, and an appropriate amount of probiotics to balance the gut flora.
