My dog was left outside in the heat for days with little food and is now vomiting — what should I do?
Going too long without food causes excess stomach acid and vomiting, and a sudden large meal after starvation can overstretch the stomach and trigger vomiting. Feed small, frequent meals and gradually increase the amount while providing plenty of fresh water. Offer easily digestible food and return to a normal diet only after the digestive system recovers.
My cat has diarrhea but no vomiting and seems fine — what should I do?
Causes of cat diarrhea include indigestion, gastroenteritis, intestinal parasite infection, and viral infection. If the cat is in good spirits, the owner can first withhold food for a while, give some smectite (diarrhea medication) to stop diarrhea, and some pet probiotics, then observe. If diarrhea persists or other abnormal symptoms appear, take it to a vet promptly.
Why Is My Dog Suddenly Vomiting?
There are many reasons a dog may vomit. The color of the vomit and what it contains each point to a different underlying condition. Below we have organized several vomit colors, ranked from mild to severe, to help you quickly tell what is going on with your dog. But whenever vomiting occurs, the first step is to withhold food and get your dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible during the golden window for treatment.
Is Your Cat’s Vomiting a Sign of Illness?
Occasional vomiting in cats has many causes, from harmless hairballs to serious disease. Knowing which warning signs point to a real medical problem — and what to track before you call the vet — helps you act at the right time.
Cat Vomiting: Causes and How to Tell What’s Wrong
Cat vomiting has dozens of causes—from eating too fast and hairballs to infections, toxins like lilies, and organ disease. Telling active vomiting from passive regurgitation, then reading the vomit, frequency, and your cat's energy, narrows the cause before a vet visit.
Why Is My Samoyed Vomiting?
Samoyeds vomit for many reasons, from a harmless bout after overeating to parasites, poisoning, or serious illness. Checking their diet, deworming history, and any companion symptoms such as diarrhea or fever helps pinpoint the cause.
Why Is My Miniature Schnauzer Vomiting?
Miniature Schnauzers are sturdy dogs, but they still vomit from time to time. The key is what comes up—undigested food versus yellow fluid—and whether warning signs like blood, fever, or lethargy appear. Most routine cases settle with a probiotic and rest.
Dog Vomiting Yellow Foam and Not Eating
Yellow, foamy vomit with no appetite can come from a chill or gastroenteritis, and unchecked vomiting risks dehydration. Stop the vomiting, offer small sips of water during a 12-hour fast, and see a vet for gastroenteritis — treat a cold at home with rest and warmth.
Why Your Dog Keeps Vomiting Yellow Foamy Fluid
A dog that repeatedly throws up yellow, foamy fluid usually has poor gut motility from dehydration, irregular feeding, or a bad environment, or it ate too fast, human food, or additive-heavy items that strain the liver and pancreas. Parasites and gastritis (acute or chronic) are other causes; watch energy and appetite, and use a probiotic plus bland food for gastritis.
What to Do When Your Dog Is Both Vomiting and Having Diarrhea
A dog's fragile gut makes vomiting-plus-diarrhea common, from gut irritation and colds to irregular feeding. Start with an 8–12 hour fast from food and water, then rule out parvovirus, distemper, or coronavirus if unvaccinated and severe. Keep food bland, warm the dog for colds, and train 'leave it' to avoid road food.
