What are the signs a cat is feeling unwell?
An unwell cat often shows low energy and reduced appetite, and may lie down a lot. If vomiting or diarrhea also appears, try probiotics; if it worsens, see a vet.
What should I do if my dog is anorexic and refuses food?
Many causes lead to a dog refusing food, so find the specific reason. Test with canned food, paste, or meat to see if it is just picky eating, and if so retrain its diet and stop human food. Watch for diarrhea or vomiting that signals illness, or check the mouth for objects or dental disease if it tries but cannot eat.
What should I do if my dog vomits even after drinking water?
Vomiting even water may signal gut disease or pancreatitis, so find the cause first. Cold food on an empty stomach can upset the gut; try warm water with probiotic. Spoiled food causing poisoning or acute gastritis needs IV fluids and meds. Parasites or pancreatitis also cause severe vomiting, so see a vet.
Can a puppy eat mulberries?
Dogs can eat mulberries, but it is not advised for very young puppies whose digestion is immature and who may vomit or have diarrhea. Puppies over three months can have a few; mulberries are rich in vitamins and trace elements that boost immunity.

Which is more serious, feline coronavirus or feline distemper (panleukopenia)?
Feline distemper is more serious than feline coronavirus.

But distemper is a highly fatal, contagious disease causing vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and bloody stool.
Is it harmful if my dog eats cherry flesh?
Cherry flesh is quite harmful to dogs. Compounds in cherries damage the intestinal lining and cause diarrhea and vomiting, and in severe cases can lead to vomiting blood or even death. Cherries are also high in minerals and potassium, which burden the kidneys, so it is best to avoid them and offer dog-safe fruits like apples or bananas.
What does a cat with FIP look like in its final stage before death?
FIP is divided into wet and dry forms; the wet form is more common and causes obvious ascites. Before death, a cat has large fluid buildup in the abdomen that presses on the organs, leading to difficulty breathing, lethargy and vomiting, and weight loss from not eating. The dry form causes neurological signs before death such as convulsions, constricted pupils and loss of coordination.
Will a cat’s diarrhea from changing food heal on its own?
Diarrhea from a food change usually heals on its own, because a cat's stomach is sensitive and a sudden switch irritates it, causing soft stools or diarrhea. Switch back to the old food and add pet probiotics; it typically recovers in a few days. But if the gut stays irritated, chronic gastroenteritis may develop, needing anti-inflammatory and stomach medicine plus small, frequent meals.
How long after a dog licks pesticide do symptoms appear?
How soon a dog shows symptoms after licking pesticide depends on the concentration and the amount ingested. Most modern pesticides are organophosphates: a high concentration typically acts within 1-2 hours, while a small, weak dose may take 12-24 hours. If you know the dog licked pesticide, take it to a vet for induced vomiting right away.
