What happens if a puppy is given an overdose of medicine?
Symptoms depend on the drug, dose and the individual puppy. Mild overdoses may need only water to aid kidney metabolism, but toxic drugs like dewormers can cause vomiting, seizures or coma. Severe reactions require immediate veterinary care.

Small, smooth crystal balls may pass through the digestive tract, but a larger one can cause an intestinal blockage with vomiting and appetite loss. The outcome depends on the ball's size and quantity. A blockage requires prompt veterinary treatment.
Vomited twice, both like this
Cats vomit yellow fluid for many reasons: wrong food, gastroenteritis, parasites, hairballs, or viruses. Withhold food and water 6 hours and give gut-repair medicine and probiotics; if no relief, see a vet.
My cat ate nothing this morning, then vomited after being fed biscuits at noon, now listless. The vomit was yellow with undigested food. Only vomited once, no diarrhea.
Vomiting and lethargy after biscuits may be acute gastroenteritis from improper feeding, especially after a long fast. Fast and give probiotics; but pancreatitis, foreign body, hairball, or infection are also possible, so see a vet for tests if unsure.
What do you think of Wanpy dog canned food?
Wanpy has many cans with mixed reviews. Its chicken-and-vegetable formula is decent (46% chicken, 4.8% veg, good palatability), but many add grains and carrageenan, which can cause gut allergies and, with carrageenan's debated toxicity, warrant caution.
My 2-month-old Corgi ate one meal this morning, then vomited undigested kibble and the belly gurgles — what’s wrong?
A puppy vomiting undigested kibble usually has a few causes: not yet used to kibble causing gut stress; eating too much or too fast causing indigestion; or an underlying gut problem. Withhold food for half a day to ease the burden, and give pet probiotics to regulate the gut. If vomiting continues, take the puppy to a vet.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis in dogs?
Dog hepatitis symptoms include lethargy, loss of appetite, weight loss, yellowed skin, weakness, difficulty standing, increased drinking and urination, vomiting, and diarrhea. Treat under a vet's guidance to avoid cirrhosis. Hepatitis is acute or chronic; chronic progresses slowly and may start with only poor spirits or reduced appetite before worsening.
What happens if a Husky eats salt?
Salt is an essential nutrient; a small amount is usually fine. But dogs cannot sweat out excess salt, so salty food is unsuitable. Regularly eating too much salt burdens the kidneys and heart, causing kidney failure, palpitations, hair loss, endocrine imbalance, and high blood pressure. Suddenly eating a lot of salt can also cause dehydration, tremors, drooling, breathing difficulty, and vomiting — even death in severe cases.
How to fix a picky eater?
A dog refusing kibble may be unwell or dislike the food. First check for other symptoms like soft stool, constipation, vomiting, lethargy, or fever. If none, it is likely pickiness; try switching brands or mixing in favored foods like chicken breast, beef, freeze-dried food, canned food, or fish. Once the dog eats, gradually increase the kibble ratio to acclimate it. Finally, feed at set times and amounts, and avoid giving other food outside meal times to build a regular eating schedule.
Why do cats develop kidney failure?
There are many causes of feline kidney failure, commonly including urinary obstruction, improper medication use, old age, and poor diet. Symptoms typically include thirst, weakness, vomiting, and reduced urination. If you notice these signs, take the cat to a veterinary hospital promptly for a full examination to find the cause and provide targeted treatment, avoiding delay of the best treatment window. The cause and severity determine the treatment approach, so owners should never blindly medicate the cat, as this may cause unnecessary harm.
