Why is my cat having diarrhea and vomiting white foam?
Diarrhea and white-foam vomit may be from bacterial gastroenteritis, feline panleukopenia (distemper), or poisoning. Since symptoms persist for days, see a vet promptly. If vaccinated, panleukopenia can be ruled out. Pancreatitis or kidney failure may also cause this. Don't self-medicate; get professional diagnosis.
My cat’s stool was like mud, then diarrhea with mucus and blood—what disease is this?
Mud-like stool with mucus and blood likely means enteritis or parasite infection. First, bacterial or viral enteritis—if unvaccinated, panleukopenia risk is high, so get a test and blood work. Second, coccidia or Giardia damage the gut lining and cause bleeding; diagnose by fecal exam and abdominal ultrasound, then deworm and treat with anti-inflammatories.

From the photo, the cat is bleeding and has diarrhea, but the bleeding site cannot be determined from the photo; it could be external or internal injury. If external, it may be cut by a sharp object and stressed into diarrhea — treat the wound and give probiotics. If diarrhea with blood, consider gastrointestinal bleeding, bacterial gastroenteritis, or intestinal laceration, and see a vet.

My dog was fine this morning, but by afternoon its anus was swollen and red, with diarrhea but no blood
Diarrhea likely caused anal redness and inflammation; long diarrhea irritates and infects the skin around the anus, causing redness, pain, and even prolapse. See a vet to find the diarrhea cause. Bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral enteritis all cause diarrhea with different treatments, needing vet-guided antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and gut-restoring medicine, fasting, and fluids to prevent dehydration.
Why does my dog keep vomiting yellow fluid with white foam?
There are many causes of vomiting; if yellow fluid and foam persist with low energy and appetite, see a vet to find the cause first.
