My cat vomits right after eating and goes to the litter box around it, worse at night; what is wrong?
Frequent vomiting after eating suggests hairballs or gastroenteritis. If energetic, fast a day, use an antiemetic and probiotics, then give hairball paste or cat grass. If no improvement, see a vet; brush the cat often to prevent hairballs.
My dog has not wanted to eat, is low in spirits, stays in its bed, and will not go out; what is wrong?
Not eating with low energy likely means illness; see a vet to avoid misdiagnosis. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, fever (parvo/corona if unvaccinated), or respiratory signs (kennel cough, distemper). If no symptoms, heat or cold may be the cause.
My dog will not eat or drink, lies all day, vomits blood, and has green, smelly, glue-like stool; what is wrong?
If unvaccinated, this strongly suggests canine parvovirus, a severe contagious disease with vomiting and bloody, foul stool. Go to a hospital for PCR; treatment needs antivirals, fasting, fluids, and 7 to 10 days.
My dog is foaming at the mouth, confused, limp, with a swollen belly and no strength; what is wrong?
Foaming and confusion may come from poisoning, encephalitis, or severe infection. A greedy dog may have eaten poison; in crisis give soapy water to induce vomiting and rush to a vet. These all need urgent hospital care.
My cat foamed once, then had urine on its fur and is weak and not eating; what is wrong?
Hard to judge exactly; it may be a urinary problem, as a blockage can cause vomiting and leakage, and retained urine can cause uremia and kidney damage. It could also be poisoning, gastroenteritis, nephritis, or seizures; see a vet.
My cat was poisoned and vomited yellow foam; I gave atropine, what should I do next?
Treatment depends on the poison type and symptoms; never blindly medicate at home. Get the cat to a hospital fast; for food poisoning, induced vomiting helps unless the cat is unconscious or ate corrosives. IV fluids speed toxin clearance.
How long does it take for a cat’s acute kidney failure to turn chronic?
The timeline is uncertain and depends on severity and constitution. Once acute becomes chronic it causes irreversible damage and lifelong prescription diet. Seek a vet at once; symptoms worsen within hours to days.
What Happens If a Dog Drinks Perfume?
Perfume can irritate the gut (vomiting, diarrhea, pain) and, with alcohol, phenol or formaldehyde, poison the dog; some ingredients cause skin allergy. Watch closely and see a vet for abnormal signs.
What Happens If a Dog Eats a Plastic Bag?
A large bag can block the airway or cause intestinal blockage with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; toxic chemicals may poison the dog. Watch the stool, and see a vet if it vomits, breathes hard or loses appetite.
How Does a Dog Get Heatstroke?
Heatstroke comes from high heat or humidity since dogs cool poorly, plus exercise without rest and low water intake. Signs include thirst, fast breathing, tongue color change, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures or coma; cool and seek care.
