My dog is under a month old; had milk-soaked biscuits the day before, only milk yesterday, and has had diarrhea since yesterday and today
Dogs should not have milk or biscuits; most are lactose intolerant and milk causes diarrhea, while a puppy's immature gut can't handle solid biscuits. Stop milk/biscuits (use goat-milk formula), fast 6-12 hours with water, give probiotics 3x daily, and see a vet if it persists or with other signs.
My cat slept, refused food/water, vomited twice (first a roundworm), vet gave half a dewormer pill, but still sleepy, weak, barely eating-is this normal, what should I do?
These signs may be parasite infection, another disease, or dewormer side effects. If no improvement after the vet visit, contact the clinic and describe symptoms; further tests (blood, fecal, distemper) may be needed and the plan adjusted. Keep warm/quiet; try easily digestible warm food carefully.
What should I do if my dog ate a waffle?
A waffle usually won't poison a dog, but its sugar, fat, and flour burden digestion. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, or abdominal discomfort; if any, fast 6-12 hours with water, then feed bland food and probiotics. See a vet if symptoms worsen.
