My two-month-old dog ate some pork from my pork patty on a walk, played, then vomited it, and later her face swelled and one ear drooped-what happened?
Vomiting then facial swelling after eating a pork patty may be food allergy or poisoning from additives/seasonings. Severe ongoing symptoms need a vet to confirm allergy and give desensitization shots and fluids; otherwise anaphylaxis is possible. The vet will examine and treat.
My cat just arrived, rarely ate kibble, so I gave cat treats, and it vomited twice this afternoon-the vomited food was the treats
If a newly arrived cat vomits cat treats twice, stop the treats and let the gut rest, fast 4-6 hours with water, then resume easily digestible food in small meals. Watch for continued vomiting; adjust diet back to kibble and avoid human food, consulting a vet if it worsens.
My cat first vomited up its kibble, then with no food left vomited yellow fluid
For a cat vomiting yellow fluid, do not give human cimetidine tablets; their metabolism differs and it can be toxic. Withhold food and water and see a vet. If no vet is available, use a pet-formulated cimetidine and watch closely afterward.
My one-month-old puppy ate a red bran bread yesterday and now has red stool; the vet says it’s not parvo
Red stool after eating red bread is likely from the food dye not fully digesting. If the puppy is otherwise normal, it is a temporary food-related change; keep observing and avoid human food, especially for unvaccinated puppies. See a vet if other symptoms appear.
My dog passed worms the night I brought it home, had soft stool, was anemic at the vet, then vomited two long white worms, got better, but is passing worms again and now won’t eat, only drinks
Your dog likely has a persistent parasite infection causing diarrhea, anemia, and vomiting. After deworming it may pass worms, but if it still passes worms and won't eat, see a vet; causes include heavy parasite load, secondary viral infection, or gut irritation from the medication, which is usually temporary.
My cat went bald under the ears and stopped eating after a bath—what’s wrong?
If a cat did not lose fur or stop eating before a bath but after the bath goes bald under the ears and won't eat, possible causes: 1. stress from a scary bath causing anorexia; 2. the ear area has a scent gland and normally sparser fur, and washing off excess oil and loose fur makes it look bolder—usually no heavy treatment, just clean and add nutrition; 3. environment change or stress causing anorexia. Watch closely; if it persists or shows vomiting, diarrhea, or no eating, see a vet.
Why does a dog vomit white foam?
Foam vomiting can stem from indigestion, a cold, poisoning, gastroenteritis, or distemper. Check for lethargy, fever, or diarrhea; mild cases may need probiotics, severe cases need a vet.
Why can’t dogs eat chocolate?
Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, which are toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even acute kidney failure. All foods with these compounds must be avoided.
Why can’t cats eat onions?
Onions contain n-propyl disulfide, which destroys feline red blood cells and causes hemolytic anemia. Eating too much can be fatal, so onions must never be fed to cats.
My cat is over four months old and not fat; for two days it only drinks water and won’t eat cat food—what could be the reason?
A cat not eating is usually physiological or pathological anorexia. Physiological happens in teething, heat, pregnancy, or pickiness—try tastier food like chicken or canned food. If it refuses even favorite meat, it is likely pathological, often with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unsteady walking. Long refusal with other signs needs a vet check for mouth, gut, or infectious disease.
