My dog has no appetite, is lethargic, lies down, has a slight fever and bloody, foul-smelling stool – could it be distemper?
Those signs may come from canine parvovirus or distemper, both serious. See a vet for diagnosis; confirmed parvovirus needs hospitalization with antiviral and supportive care.
My new puppy vomited and then had diarrhea with blood after I gave it medicine – what’s wrong?
Bloody diarrhea in a new puppy strongly suggests parvovirus, especially if unvaccinated. Seek urgent veterinary care; early immune serum helps.
My dog started vomiting its food yesterday, is unsteady, trembling, shaking its head, had soft and loose stools, and has not eaten all day. No blood. What is wrong?
Vomiting, unsteadiness, trembling, loose stools, and refusal to eat may be enteritis from a blockage or serious diseases like distemper or parvo. Prompt vet testing is important.
My Dog Is Vomiting Blood, Has Bloody Diarrhea, Won’t Eat or Drink, Is Weak, Shakes Its Head, and Breathes Heavily
These signs suggest poisoning or an infectious disease like parvovirus, which starts with vomiting then bloody vomit and stool with a foul smell. Seek urgent veterinary care—these are serious symptoms.
What does blood in a Teddy’s stool look like?
Blood in stool means bright red or dark red blood appears in the feces. Causes include digestive diseases (gastritis, ulcers, intestinal inflammation, parasites), anal diseases (proctitis, tumors, anal sac issues), infectious diseases (distemper, parvovirus), or food poisoning. A fecal exam at the vet is needed.
What is the purpose of giving a dog serum injections?
Dog serum usually means monoclonal antibody serum, which specifically boosts resistance to a disease. Canine distemper and parvovirus antibodies are used against those illnesses. The serum's antibodies block viral replication and spread, greatly helping control and treatment.
What are the symptoms of intussusception in dogs?
Common signs of intussusception in dogs include severe vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody stool, and an abdominal mass. It often occurs in puppies that eat eagerly, due to fast eating, poor-quality food, or cold water irritating the gut. It may also follow distemper or parvovirus. See a vet promptly for treatment based on severity.
Dog Vomits and Has Tomato-Colored Watery Stool, Now Lethargic
Vomiting with tomato-colored stool and lethargy strongly suggests canine parvovirus, common in unvaccinated puppies. Fast and seek immediate viral screening; other causes like bone injury or bacterial enteritis need differentiation. Parvo is often fatal, so hospitalize for fluids and antiviral, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic care.
My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.
My dog vomited all yesterday, not today, but has a high temperature, eats nothing, and sleeps most of the day.
These signs most likely indicate illness rather than pregnancy, especially with fever and refusal to eat. An unspayed female's fever may signal pyometra; distemper, parvovirus, pancreatitis, or acute gastroenteritis are other possibilities. Prompt veterinary examination is urged to avoid a fatal delay.
