My dog vomited a white substance, not foam
Vomiting pale foam can come from indigestion, poisoning, parasites, pancreatitis, virus, or acute gastroenteritis. For few episodes, fast half a day, then give probiotics and bland food in small meals. If vomiting continues with fever or low spirits, see a vet to find the cause.
Sudden vomiting, no appetite, no water, no food, slept all day
Vomiting with no eating or drinking may be acute gastroenteritis; withhold food and water for 4 to 6 hours. If vomiting continues, take the cat to a vet for X-rays and virus checks. Intestinal blockage also causes these signs; X-rays reveal the gut condition for diagnosis.
I hand-fed my dog a few handfuls of a sweet drink; will it upset the stomach?
Dogs should not drink soda; the high sugar can irritate the gut and cause acute gastroenteritis. A small amount usually does little harm, so watch for adverse reactions and see a vet if discomfort is significant. Normally give plain cooled or warm water instead.
What happens if a Bulldog’s belly gets chilled?
A chilled belly may cause abnormal gut movement, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, even acute gastroenteritis. It may also cause a cold with sneezing, runny nose, cough, and poor appetite. Provide a warm bed and avoid cold tile floors in low temperatures.
Dog vomited once, then had several bouts of diarrhea, then became listless and stopped eating
Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and anorexia may be acute gastroenteritis from bacteria, viruses, or parasites, or poisoning. See a vet for tests; feed bland fluids in small meals, and hospitalize if vomiting is severe.
Why does my 2-month-old puppy have jelly-like soft stool?
Jelly-like stool indicates damaged, bleeding intestinal lining, possibly from indigestion, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viruses. See a vet for diagnosis; mild cases may need fasting and probiotics.
What happens if my dog eats too much cold watermelon?
Too much cold watermelon can chill a dog's stomach, causing diarrhea, vomiting, poor appetite, and abdominal pain, and in severe cases may trigger acute gastroenteritis or pancreatitis. Feed only in moderation and watch for symptoms.
My dog is vomiting and had been binge eating suddenly before — what’s going on?
Eating randomly, binge eating, or irregular feeding can cause vomiting. Your dog's binge eating likely caused acute gastroenteritis — vomiting with mucus, lethargy, poor appetite, later diarrhea or straining. Vomiting may also signal parasites, pancreatitis, or parvovirus. Avoid binge feeding; fast and observe, then give probiotics and an antacid.
My cat hasn’t eaten for two days, vomits yellow fluid, and is low in energy; what is wrong?
Yellow vomit and not eating may be distemper/coronavirus, obstruction, hairballs, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or internal disease (hepatitis, kidney failure, pancreatitis). Get a vet infectious-disease and blood check. Withhold food 0.5-1 day; if frequent vomiting, fluids and anti-emetics; do not force feed.
I used to feed my cat kibble, but the day before yesterday I suddenly fed only chicken breast all day, and yesterday it kept vomiting and was low in energy.
Per the test results, the chicken breast may not be the cause; the cat likely has a serious underlying disease. Blood markers are abnormal, suggesting severe malnutrition; acute gastroenteritis or FIP are possible. Follow the vet's advice for further tests and treatment.
