What foods can’t hamsters eat?
Hamsters can't eat fruit pits and seeds, pungent vegetables, or human snacks. Fruit pits like apple or pear cores contain cyanide and can poison them, causing vomiting and diarrhea.

My cat vomited undigested kibble, then yellow fluid with white foam, now only white foam. What should I do?

A 2-month-old Labrador with diarrhea, vomiting white foam, lethargy, no barking, no tail wagging
Diarrhea, white-foam vomit and lethargy in a 2-month-old have many causes needing clinical workup; usually acute gastroenteritis from bad diet, or viral/parasitic/toxic. If it ate spoiled or greasy food, suspect acute gastroenteritis—fast, give probiotics/anti-inflammatories, and see a vet if weak/dehydrated. If unvaccinated/un-dewormed and young, consider parvovirus, coronavirus or distemper—highly fatal—requiring hospital care.
