What can’t a pet ferret eat?
Ferrets have short guts and cannot eat high-starch or high-fat foods like peanuts and nuts, or human food that causes obesity and fatty liver. Avoid dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese) which causes vomiting/diarrhea, and too much fruit/vegetables.
What happens if a dog eats raw potatoes?
A little raw potato is harmless (starch/sugar for energy), but too much causes soft stool, bloating, and pain. Raw potatoes contain solanine; excess can poison with diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, coma. See a vet if abnormal.
What happens if a house cat scratches me?
House cats less often carry rabies but can still infect; scratches can also cause cat-scratch disease (fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes) and, if deep and uncleaned, tetanus. Wash with soapy water 20-30 min, disinfect, and get the rabies vaccine; deep wounds need tetanus shot.
My 1.5-year-old male cat was locked in a room two nights ago and peed on the bed; since last night he keeps going to the litter box every 10 minutes but produces no urine. Still the same tonight. What should I do?
This is likely feline idiopathic cystitis, a common lower-urinary issue from stress causing frequent urination with little/no output, risking blockage, blood, even rupture. Get the vet to catheterize and give anti-inflammatory/mucosal-repair meds.
My cat sometimes vomits.
Occasional vomiting may be hairballs, chronic gastritis, pancreatitis, or gut parasites. Try probiotics and gut anti-inflammatories, keep diet regular, and use hairball paste if fur appears. For frequent vomiting, fast 6 hours then see a vet if it continues.
Kitten overdosed on cefpodoxime proxetil; diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite.
An antibiotic overdose harms the liver and kidneys; take the kitten to a vet for inducing vomiting, fluids, and liver support. Small ingestion causes mild vomiting/diarrhea; large amounts bring breathing trouble, anemia, jaundice.
My dog ate a whole packet of cockroach poison. What do I do?
Within 2 hours, induce vomiting (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) then see a vet. After 2 hours, use gut-motility/excretion meds to speed elimination; if clear poisoning signs appear, go to emergency.
My cat licked erythromycin ointment; how much causes poisoning?
A small amount of erythromycin ointment rarely poisons a cat; an adult needs about 10g+ of erythromycin to show toxicity, depending on weight. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy; secure medicines to prevent ingestion.
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.
Hello doctor, my cat vomits yellow fluid; it is not panleukopenia and seems energetic, and has had no outside contact.
Yellow vomit has many causes: gastroenteritis, parasites, hairballs, wrong food, virus. Fast 6 hours, give probiotics and gut-repair oral meds, and see a vet if no relief.
