What Is Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Cats?
Feline IBD is a chronic gut disease where inflammatory cells thicken the intestinal wall and block nutrient uptake, showing as persistent vomiting and diarrhea that won't resolve. Food allergy is the top trigger, with bacteria, parasites, and stress as contributors — so pinpoint and drop the offending food.
Pet Vomiting (Part 3): Vomiting from Internal Parasites and Toxicity in Dogs and Cats
Internal parasites living in a dog or cat's gut irritate the intestinal lining and trigger vomiting, sometimes expelling visible worms. Food poisoning causes far more violent vomiting along with seizures and drooling, and demands immediate induced vomiting and gastric lavage. Routine deworming and keeping toxic foods — onions, grapes, chocolate, macadamia nuts — out of reach are the best defenses.
Treating E. coli Infection in Dogs and Cats
Colibacillosis is an acute intestinal infection of young dogs and cats caused by pathogenic E. coli, marked by fever, vomiting, and foul-smelling diarrhea that can turn fatal. It mimics many other diseases (distemper, parvovirus, salmonellosis), so a lab test is needed for diagnosis; treatment is antibiotics chosen by sensitivity testing plus strict hygiene and early colostrum.
Why Is My Dog Vomiting Yellow Foam and Mucus?
Yellow foam and mucus usually mean gastroenteritis, but the cause can also be parvovirus, indigestion from overeating, irregular feeding, internal parasites, or a swallowed foreign object. Because the causes range from mild to life-threatening, a dog that vomits repeatedly needs a veterinary diagnosis.
Why Does My Dog Have Lots of Eye Discharge and Low Energy?
Eye discharge plus lethargy in a dog usually points past ordinary eye irritation to either a gastroenteritis-type cold or canine distemper. The cold brings fever, runny nose, and possible vomiting or diarrhea; distemper starts like a cold then shows biphasic fever and thick eye discharge. Get a vet diagnosis before treating, and don't self-prescribe antibiotics.
Why Is Your Cat Having Diarrhea and How to Treat It
Before reaching for medicine, rule out simple causes — a dirty water bowl, spoiled food, a chilly room (keep it near 26°C), a too-fast food switch, a grain allergy, or stress. If diarrhea persists despite a cat probiotic, suspect parasites and deworm; if it worsens within a day or two with vomiting, it could be something serious like panleukopenia and needs a vet immediately.
Why Dogs Vomit Yellow Fluid and How to Treat It
Vomiting yellow fluid is usually tied to diet or gastrointestinal disease, and the underlying cause is revealed by the dog's body condition, feeding routine, and what the vomit looks like. Once you rule out a gastric foreign body or viral infection, most cases from gastritis or gastroenteritis improve with short-term fasting, antiemetics, and gut support.
Why a Cat Still Has Blood in Its Stool After Probiotics
Blood in a cat's stool usually means intestinal parasites or gastroenteritis (often feline coronavirus), not a probiotic deficiency. Deworm and sanitize for parasites; use an anti-diarrheal plus probiotics for gut inflammation. If bleeding persists despite a quality live probiotic, the case is too severe for probiotics alone.
