Treating Rabbit Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a common, serious rabbit problem that can be fatal, so treat it promptly and by cause. For kits: mild cases use neomycin; acute weather-related cases get enrofloxacin plus vitamin B complex; cases with appetite loss and soiling need chloramphenicol or aureomycin; diet-change stress needs a feed switch and probiotics.
Signs of Acute Gastroenteritis in Dogs
Acute dog gastroenteritis can be fatal, so watch for symptoms and treat promptly. Learn the early and late signs, the causes, and the treatment steps.
Since arriving home it has had diarrhea with a bit of blood and won’t eat; with kibble soaked in goat milk it only drinks the milk and leaves the kibble, and ignores canned food too
Bloody diarrhea has many causes: food, gut, parasites, stress, infection. A newly arrived dog may get acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis from intolerance or stress, needing IV fluids with anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and anti-diarrhea drugs. Unvaccinated dogs need infection checks.
My cat vomited three times: first undigested kibble and meat, second undigested kibble with white foam and pale-yellow water, third pale-yellow water with white foam. One bout of diarrhea, ears very hot but nose wet and cool. It happened before and I ignored it thinking overeating; this time is a bit worse.
Vomiting, diarrhea, and hot ears suggest acute gastroenteritis from hairballs, food intolerance, or indigestion; infection is possible. See a vet for diagnosis; if unavailable, give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic, then softened kibble in small amounts.
Hello. Our dog seems to have eaten moldy kibble, then vomited white material, had diarrhea with blood, lost appetite, and become lethargic. What’s the cause and how to treat it?
Vomiting, bloody diarrhea, poor appetite, and lethargy may be acute gastroenteritis triggered by moldy or spoiled food. Because symptoms are serious, get a blood count and biochemistry to check for liver damage, then treat by severity.
Cat has diarrhea for days.
Many causes. Food (unsuitable or sudden food change): easy food plus probiotics/kaolin. Parasites (roundworm, coccidia, Giardia, tapeworm): deworm. Acute gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, corona: see a vet.
Dog vomits yellow liquid and has bloody diarrhea but is energetic – what?
Likely acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. If energetic, fast 24h, then probiotics and gut/anti-vomit meds; after, small soft food. If continues, consider parasites, foreign body, or infection - see a vet.
My 3-month-old kitten has been home about 5 days; it will not eat or drink, occasionally has diarrhea and vomits, and now cannot stand. What illness is this?
A newly arrived kitten that will not eat or drink and has vomiting and diarrhea is likely suffering from a gastrointestinal disease or feline panleukopenia (distemper). Now being unable to stand suggests dehydration and electrolyte loss from prolonged vomiting and diarrhea, requiring immediate fluid therapy.
Diarrhea, vomit flowing from under the mouth, half-dead; what to do
From your description, the hamster likely has acute gastroenteritis or wet tail. Its state is very poor with constant life risk. Try syringe glucose for energy and to prevent dehydration, then take it to the vet at once. If a visit is hard, after it stabilizes give smectite and antibiotics to ease diarrhea.
Bought fish oil; gave some before work, forgot to close it, came back and it ate about 50-60 pills; since last night mild diarrhea, dark stool, a bit sleepy today; any problem?
Dogs must not eat excess fish oil; their digestion and liver are limited, and too much causes acute diarrhea or even gut bleeding, and dark stool suggests digestive bleeding. If spirits are fine after diarrhea, little danger; if diarrhea, sleepiness, and poor appetite continue, vitamin toxicity is possible, so go to the vet at once.
