What Medication Treats Chronic Encephalitis in Dogs?
Treatment for chronic canine encephalitis includes symptomatic, antiviral and anti-infection therapy. A vet may use pain relievers for fever or nausea and antivirals or antibiotics depending on the underlying cause.
What Are the Symptoms of a Dog Not Adjusting to a New Environment?
A dog that has trouble adjusting to a new environment often shows vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and poor appetite. Give it time and a quiet, comfortable space, plus pet probiotics to settle its stomach.
My cat hasn’t eaten for two days, vomits yellow fluid, and is low in energy; what is wrong?
Yellow vomit and not eating may be distemper/coronavirus, obstruction, hairballs, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or internal disease (hepatitis, kidney failure, pancreatitis). Get a vet infectious-disease and blood check. Withhold food 0.5-1 day; if frequent vomiting, fluids and anti-emetics; do not force feed.
My two-month dog is on Clavamox and a cough syrup; can it be antibody-tested and vaccinated, or how long after stopping? Can I change food while on medication?
Being on antibiotics means the dog is ill; do not vaccinate now, as antibiotics reduce vaccine effect and worsen the illness. Treat first, then stop meds about a week and confirm no symptoms before vaccinating; a pre-vaccine check is best. Food change does not conflict but do it gradually.
Is Your Hamster’s Diarrhea a Sign of Wet Tail?
Is your hamster's diarrhea a sign of wet tail? Many owners treat any loose stool as wet tail, but diarrhea is not always caused by it. Owners should identify the real cause before treating. Let's look at the common causes of hamster diarrhea.
This afternoon my dog suddenly vomited several times, then hid, had full-body convulsions and foamy vomit, and died a few minutes later; it never had this before. Was it a disease?
Sudden vomiting, convulsions, foam, and quick death suggest acute onset, possibly poisoning or acute encephalitis. Encephalitis can follow distemper/rabies or be genetic; toxin ingestion also causes these signs and rapid death.
My cat vomits undigested kibble; it started yesterday.
Undigested kibble vomiting may be gut blockage, indigestion, or eating too fast. Withhold food, give a little warm water, observe 6-8 hours; if it continues, vet X-ray for blockage, pancreatitis, or gastritis.
My roughly two-month kitten, bought a week ago; the night before last at midnight it vomited once, a thin white worm like roundworm, then next afternoon vomited again without worm, just foam, then through the night vomited about ten times, sometimes yellow fluid, eating or drinking nothing, even milk vomited. What do I do?
White thin worms are likely roundworms; frequent vomiting with no food risks pancreatitis and fatty liver, so vet fluids first to correct electrolytes, then deworm. Use ivermectin/fenbendazole-based drugs plus antibiotics; give probiotics later. Do NOT give milk (lactose intolerance).
Why does my cat vomit yellow fluid and undigested kibble?
Vomiting yellow fluid and undigested kibble is often indigestion from eating too fast or too much; probiotics help. Feed on a schedule and use a slow feeder. Hard-to-digest kibble can also cause it, so choose a suitable food.
My Bichon ate a small amount of cola chicken-wing sauce last night; is it a problem? No abnormalities yet; does it need a vet?
A little sauce is usually fine, but a sensitive stomach may cause soft stool, diarrhea, or vomiting; watch closely. Avoid human food generally; never feed onions, chocolate, coffee, avocado, or grapes, which poison dogs.
