How can you tell if a dog’s vaccine failed?
A failed vaccine means the dog can still get distemper or parvovirus after exposure—vomiting, diarrhea, cough, runny nose, fever. Vaccine side effects like fever, vomiting, diarrhea or allergy can also lower immunity and cause failure. Finally, a vet serum antibody test shows if enough antibodies formed; if too low, revaccinate.
My turtle has white foam by its mouth, on and off, and while hibernating wakes to gape—is it gastroenteritis?
Turtle gastroenteritis shows low spirits, slow response, vomiting, soft or loose stool, often from cold feeding, temperature swings, bad water or spoiled food. Your signs of gaping and foam may instead be pneumonia; if it floats tilted in deep water, gapes at the surface with sound, has blocked nostrils or fears water, it is likely pneumonia linked to hibernation temperature swings. Control the temperature at about 28°C and soak in penicillin or streptomycin.
My dog, over a year old, hasn’t eaten for five or six days, only drinks sometimes, low spirits—what is wrong?
Not eating often means serious illness; observe other signs and get a full exam for the cause. Try tempting with canned food, paste or meat to see if it is just picky; if so, fix diet and stop human food. If it tries but can't eat, check the mouth for objects, dental or stomatitis. Watch for diarrhea or vomiting—if present, it may be poisoning, infection or organ failure; see a vet.

Too much hairball paste can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Offer easily digested food and pet probiotics to soothe the stomach.
