What happens if a Teddy (Poodle) eats star fruit (carambola)?
Star fruit seeds contain cyanide, risking poisoning. High potassium and sodium burden the kidneys if overfed. Rarely, some dogs are allergic (itch, rash, facial swelling, breathing trouble). Don't feed it; see a vet if reactions occur.
My dog keeps wheezing and stretching its neck like it wants to vomit, seems a bit down, and very sleepy today.
Wheezing, retching, and low energy suggest respiratory infection, pneumonia, pleural or abdominal fluid, or heart disease. Get bloodwork and CRP, plus chest/abdomen X-rays and echo if fluid is suspected; with breathing trouble, 24-hour oxygen helps.
My kitten is five days old.
Your description suggests the kitten likely inhaled amniotic fluid or has pulmonary edema, which makes survival unlikely. To improve the odds, get it to a vet for ICU care at once; with breathing trouble it needs assisted respiration, then an incubator with 24-hour monitoring.
After yesterday’s four-in-one vaccine, my dog became listless, vomited, trembled, and seems to have a slight cough
Post-vaccine shaking/lethargy/cough has several causes. Allergy to the vaccine may add facial swelling, breathing trouble. Mild-moderate side effects (shaking, low spirits, less appetite, slight fever, injection-site soreness) appear within 24-48h and ease in days. Cough may be respiratory (cold, kennel cough, parainfluenza). Give quiet rest, water, food; if worse, see vet.
My baby rabbit this morning kept twitching for no reason, then its mouth kept opening and closing while its limbs didn’t move—what’s wrong?
Twitching can signal heatstroke, low blood sugar, epilepsy, or brainstem oxygen lack; an opening/closing mouth is labored breathing. Move it to a ventilated, quiet, comfortable spot, give glucose water, and provide hay, pellets, and clean water. Watch 1–2 days; if no relief or it recurs, see a vet.
Cat stress
For stress vomiting, fast 4–6 hours, then give small amounts of warm-water-softened kibble once vomiting stops. Provide a quiet, comfortable, dim environment and familiar items (blanket, toy, old clothes) or pheromones and catnip to reassure. If vomiting persists or other symptoms appear (diarrhea, fever, discharge, breathing trouble), see a vet.
What happens if a dog eats dried shrimp (shrimp shells)?
A small amount is usually fine—dried shrimp are tiny and thin-shelled, so they rarely irritate or scratch the gut. But they're salty; too much burdens the kidneys and causes tear stains, shedding, dry coat, and thirst. Some dogs are allergic to seafood—watch for itching, rash, breathing trouble, vomiting, diarrhea, and see a vet if so.
Why can’t dogs eat chicken or duck bones?
Poultry bones are sharp and hard and can lodge in the throat or damage the gut, causing vomiting, blood, or breathing trouble. Give only a little for chewing.
What happens if a rabbit gets fat?
Obesity can cause heart enlargement, diabetes, and arthritis, and fat pressing on the lungs brings breathing trouble. It also lowers fertility in both sexes.
How is dog bronchopneumonia treated?
Based on the photo the dog may have bronchial dilation and an enlarged heart; bronchopneumonia needs prompt care. Give oxygen if breathing is hard and check the heart.
