What can’t hamsters eat?
Hamsters cannot eat fruit pits and pungent vegetables such as apple cores, pear cores, celery, ginger, garlic, and chives; the pits contain cyanide that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or poisoning, and pungent vegetables irritate the gut and cause gastritis. Also avoid too much high-fat food and high-water fruits and vegetables.
I came home and found my hamster lying still and motionless
A motionless hamster can mean several things. Check for illness signs like weakness, stiffness, vomiting, diarrhea, rough coat, or low temperature, and see a vet if so. It may also be observing new things, frightened into stillness, or in pseudo-hibernation or apparent death; watch the situation and consult a vet if the cause is unclear.
Why does a cat foam at the mouth after eating fish or drinking milk?
Foaming after fish or milk may be food sensitivity or allergy, since cats cannot tolerate lactose in milk and some fish upset the stomach; it may also be food poisoning from toxic fish or dairy, or overfeeding causing acute gastritis. Stop these foods and see a vet if the cat is lethargic or keeps vomiting.
How can you treat a two-month-old puppy diagnosed with coronavirus at home?
Canine coronavirus is contagious and can be fatal in two-month-old puppies, damaging intestinal lining and causing vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite, occasionally bloody stool.

What happens if a Golden Retriever eats rice?
Eating rice does not harm a Golden Retriever, since rice is mainly carbohydrate that converts to energy.

What happens if a Golden Retriever eats paper?
A Golden Retriever that eats a small amount of paper is usually fine, since its large size and sturdier intestines pass the paper without blockage, expelling it in the stool. But eating a lot can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation needing surgery, and dyed or bleached paper can harm health, so do not let it eat paper freely.
What happens if a dog receives too much IV fluid?
Giving a dog too much IV fluid is dangerous: rapid overhydration can cause pulmonary edema, chronic kidney failure, and high blood pressure. Glucose overload causes vomiting, appetite loss, and restlessness, while overall fluid excess can lead to electrolyte imbalance such as low sodium and low potassium, causing muscle pain and arrhythmia.
What happens if a dog drinks tea?
A few teas such as barley, honeysuckle, and dandelion tea are safe for dogs, but black, green, and pu-erh teas can poison them in excess because caffeine and theophylline stimulate the nervous and cardiovascular systems, causing rapid heartbeat, panting, thirst, diarrhea, and vomiting. Tannins can also upset the stomach, so watch for symptoms and see a vet if needed.
What happens if a cat eats raw fish?
Feeding cats raw fish poses several risks: parasites such as hookworms and roundworms can infest the intestines, causing diarrhea, vomiting, and anemia; mishandled fish may carry bacteria and viruses that disrupt gut flora; and eating raw fish often can make cats picky eaters. Cooked fish or formulated cat food is safer.
What happens if an Alaskan puppy overeats?
Overeating increases an Alaskan puppy's digestive burden and can cause indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting, and gastric dilation. Long-term overfeeding easily leads to obesity and raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and bone disease, shortening lifespan, so feed measured meals by age, weight, and activity and ensure exercise.
