My cat may have eaten a rabeprazole sodium enteric tablet left on the table — no symptoms yet, does it need its stomach pumped?
Rabeprazole sodium is a human drug for peptic ulcers. If a cat ingests it, it may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even allergy or shock. If only a tiny amount was eaten, monitor the cat and give it more water to speed up metabolism; if any adverse reaction appears, take it to a vet promptly.
My two-month-old kitten threw up gray liquid the size of a fingernail — is it a hairball?
Gray vomit in a kitten can come from digestive upset, hairballs, parasites, or gastritis. At two months a kitten should mainly have milk, not other foods. Withhold food, feed softened kitten kibble in small frequent meals, offer pet probiotics, and see a vet if vomiting continues.
My dog vomited twice last night (undigested food) and now throws up water after eating—what’s wrong?
Vomiting undigested food can result from indigestion, a sudden food change, parasites, or bacterial/viral infection. If a diet switch triggered it, revert to the old food and transition gradually while feeding on a fixed schedule to avoid overeating. Viral infections such as parvovirus require prompt hospitalization.
Does loose stool mean my dog has parvovirus?
Soft stool in dogs can stem from many causes—a chilled abdomen, a sudden diet change, parasites, indigestion, enteritis, or an infectious disease—so the real cause must be judged from the situation. While parvovirus does cause diarrhea, loose stool alone is not enough to diagnose it; parvovirus usually also brings reduced appetite, fever, vomiting, and foul-smelling stool. If you suspect it, have your dog tested with a PCR or antigen test, since a positive result confirms the infection.
My cat vomited yellow liquid twice, less than a week apart — what’s wrong?
Yellow vomit in cats is commonly caused by indigestion, an empty stomach, gastroenteritis, stress, pancreatitis, or liver and kidney problems. Feed your cat on a regular schedule and seek veterinary care if vomiting persists.
Why is my dog leaking or spraying stool?
Leaking or spraying stool is usually a sign of diarrhea from parasites, a chill, improper diet, or indigestion. Internal parasites such as roundworms, whipworms, or hookworms cause loose stool along with poor appetite, vomiting, stunted growth, and a dull coat, and need prompt deworming. Greasy or unclean food can also upset the gut. Because the causes vary, treatment should target the underlying reason.
What happens if my puppy drinks too much water?
A puppy that drinks too much water may show increased urination, a swollen belly, and poor appetite, and a sudden large amount can cause bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Over time it strains the kidneys, and in extreme cases rapid overhydration causes water intoxication (low blood sodium) — lethargy, weakness, seizures, even coma. Offer moderate, clean water and avoid letting a puppy gulp excess.
What happens if a Golden Retriever is not given internal deworming?
Without deworming, a Golden can get roundworms, tapeworms and more, leading to malnutrition and even organ damage; deworm regularly.
Why does a cat vomit after deworming?
Dewormers can irritate the gut and cause vomiting, especially in kittens; use a safe product and control the dose strictly.
What should I do if my dog is allergic to crab?
