My rescued mother cat shows signs of labor and I’ve seen her strain with contractions, but she hasn’t delivered for three days, won’t eat, only drinks water, and vomits. I can’t afford a C-section — what can I do to help her?
From your description the cat is likely in dystocia with the fetus stuck; three days of strong straining plus no eating and vomiting means she is in danger and the fetus may be dead, causing sepsis. Aside from urgent vet care and possibly surgery, there is no better option; if she were still eating and active, oxytocin and abdominal massage could be tried, though risky.
Causes of Bad Breath in Dogs and How to Fix It
Bad breath in dogs is usually caused by tartar, poor digestion, or an underlying illness. Regular brushing, sensible feeding, and gut probiotics help, but persistent odor warrants a vet visit to rule out gastrointestinal or kidney disease.
My female cat has had a poor appetite and low energy for the past two days, and her tongue and gums look pale with little color — what’s going on?
Pale gums in cats can have many causes. In kittens it may be physiological anemia requiring nutritional supplementation or blood tonics. Blood parasite infections such as babesia can also cause pale gums, along with lethargy, weight loss, diarrhea and fever, requiring prompt deworming and treatment.
What can a puppy with food accumulation eat?
Puppy food accumulation easily causes vomiting, poor appetite, anorexia, bloating, bad breath, and lethargy. If mild with no symptoms yet, adjust via diet: feed high-fiber foods like pumpkin, carrot, apple, and oats to aid gut movement, and add pet probiotics to speed digestion.
What does a dog hiccup look like?
A dog hiccup is a natural reaction, usually from swallowing air during eating or exercise, causing gas or indigestion. The sound is a short "cough," sometimes with slight vomiting or drooling. It is not serious and needs no special treatment; avoid fast eating, overeating, or overexercise. If frequent or with vomiting or abdominal pain, see a vet.
My four-month-old kitten threw up yellow-green foamy fluid all day yesterday, has been lethargic and refusing food/water all day, with bad breath; before that it may have drunk spoiled milk (not sure) – is it just an upset stomach? I gave a little probiotics and omeprazole; should I go to the hospital?
Yellow-green foamy vomit may come from spoiled food, parasites, prolonged fasting, infectious disease, pancreatitis, hepatitis, or kidney damage. If vomiting is not frequent, withhold food and give glucose water and probiotics; spoiled milk may cause gastroenteritis, so pet anti-inflammatory helps, then feed soaked kibble in small amounts once it stops. If vomiting is frequent or with fever, arched back, pain, or lethargy, see a vet for the cause.
What causes a Teddy to vomit blood?
Many causes of blood in a Teddy's vomit relate to digestive disease, food allergy, poisoning, cardiovascular disease, or environmental irritation. Gastritis, ulcers, and enteritis can cause it; toxic food or medication may trigger it. Over-excitement or fright can also raise blood pressure or cause muscle spasm leading to vomiting blood.
I want to know what kind of bug this is
From the photo, the worm in the dog's vomit looks like a cabbage worm; if the dog was recently free-roaming or fed vegetables, it may have swallowed one and vomited it. Eating bugs is usually harmless and adds protein and fat, but pesticide-exposed bugs can cause digestive problems or poisoning. Avoid such bugs, deworm regularly, and see a vet if symptoms worsen.
The Dangers of Cryptorchidism in Dogs
Cryptorchidism is a hereditary condition where one or both testicles fail to descend, raising the risk of prostate disease, testicular tumors, and torsion. The undescended testis is about 9 times more likely to become cancerous, so surgical removal is advised by 2 months of age.
What happens if a cat drinks mint water?
A cat drinking mint water reacts differently by individual and concentration. Some like the taste and become excited or curious; others dislike it and show discomfort, refusal, even vomiting or diarrhea. Mint oil can also irritate the respiratory system, causing rapid breathing or coughing. Stop use and consult a vet if abnormal.
