What happens if a cat eats fake/counterfeit cat food?
Fake cat food fails safety standards and is poor quality. It can cause: 1. Indigestion from excess additives/preservatives — vomiting, diarrhea. 2. Malnutrition from lacking protein/vitamins — slow growth. 3. Poisoning from unsafe additives like benzoic acid or melamine, even death. Choose safe, reliable food; see a vet if symptoms appear.
I bathed the dog at noon the day before yesterday; the next day it was listless, ate one meal that it vomited undigested, and today it’s throwing up yellow fluid, has diarrhea, curls in a corner, and occasionally drinks but won’t eat.
If a dog isn't fully vaccinated, its immunity is weak and bathing can lower resistance or trigger latent viruses. Given vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, and lethargy, consider distemper or coronavirus, though mild digestive issues, chills, or parasites can also cause this (usually with better energy/appetite). Keep it warm, withhold food and water, give probiotics, and if no improvement see a vet for virus tests, blood work, and fecal exam.
My cat keeps sticking out its tongue, drooling, won’t eat, and is listless
Drooling and not eating in a cat may be from oral disease such as stomatitis or mouth ulcers, or pharyngitis. Early pharyngitis shows slow eating, later difficulty eating, drooling, vomiting, pharyngeal congestion, and pain. For pharyngitis, give pet-specific anti-inflammatory medication and soft or liquid food; for stomatitis, use a pet oral antiseptic spray and address the cause with good care.
What causes a cat to hiccup and vomit?
A cat hiccupping and vomiting can have several causes. A common one is eating too fast, swallowing air with food and causing hiccups. It may also be a digestive problem like a gut infection or abnormal intestinal motility preventing normal passage and causing vomiting. It can also signal other diseases like respiratory infection. If frequent, see a vet.
What foods can’t hamsters eat?
Hamsters can't eat fruit pits and seeds, pungent vegetables, or human snacks. Fruit pits like apple or pear cores contain cyanide and can poison them, causing vomiting and diarrhea. Human snacks have many additives and may cause digestive or kidney problems. Also avoid too much watery produce to prevent diarrhea or acute gastroenteritis.
How can I make a dog vomit?
If a dog eats something harmful, you may need to make it vomit. Methods: 1. Wrap a finger or chopstick in a towel and gently touch the throat repeatedly to trigger vomiting (don't press too hard). 2. Give it some soapy water, which produces gas in the stomach and stimulates vomiting. 3. Dilute 3% hydrogen peroxide with equal water and slowly syringe it into the mouth; it irritates the stomach to expel food or toxins.
How can I tell if a dog is sick?
A sick dog may show many symptoms depending on the disease — abnormal mental state, fever, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, runny nose, tearing, stiff or painful limbs, unwillingness to move. If you notice any such signs, take it to the vet promptly. Also, when buying a dog, go to proper pet stores or breeders to avoid 'week-old' sick dogs.
What happens if a dog eats rat poison?
There are many types of rat poison. If a dog eats anticoagulant-type poison, it usually prevents normal blood clotting and causes internal bleeding, even endangering its life. If it eats poison containing sodium fluoroacetate or fluoroacetamide, it will have violent vomiting, incontinence, convulsions, coma, and difficulty breathing, and will die quickly without rescue. Take it to the vet immediately if these symptoms appear.
My cat started foaming at the mouth and won’t eat today; it has vomited several times
A cat vomiting white foam and not eating has many causes — swallowing a foreign object, indigestion, parasites, infectious disease, poisoning, liver or kidney damage — and needs a vet exam to find the cause. If the cat is otherwise alert, use anti-vomiting medication and probiotics, plus a gastric-protectant like cimetidine. If it's doing poorly, seek urgent care.
What happens if a puppy eats bones?
A puppy eating bones can lead to the following problems: First, if the puppy accidentally swallows bone fragments while chewing, they may get stuck in the throat or trachea and cause choking. Second, bones can irritate the puppy's stomach and intestines, causing vomiting, diarrhea, and other digestive upsets. Some bones also absorb water in the intestines and cause constipation.
