My four-month-old kitten threw up yellow-green foamy fluid all day yesterday, has been lethargic and refusing food/water all day, with bad breath; before that it may have drunk spoiled milk (not sure) – is it just an upset stomach? I gave a little probiotics and omeprazole; should I go to the hospital?
Yellow-green foamy vomit may come from spoiled food, parasites, prolonged fasting, infectious disease, pancreatitis, hepatitis, or kidney damage. If vomiting is not frequent, withhold food and give glucose water and probiotics; spoiled milk may cause gastroenteritis, so pet anti-inflammatory helps, then feed soaked kibble in small amounts once it stops. If vomiting is frequent or with fever, arched back, pain, or lethargy, see a vet for the cause.
Can Antibiotics Cure Turtle Diarrhea?
Antibiotics can help some cases of turtle diarrhea, but diarrhea is a symptom, not a disease, so using them without finding the cause is risky. Causes range from parasites and gastroenteritis to diet changes and stress. This article explains when antibiotics help and when they do not.
What Causes Diarrhea in Turtles?
Turtle diarrhea can be acute (with vomiting, sometimes fatal) or chronic (causing dehydration). Causes include parasites, gastroenteritis, wrong medication or feeding, and big temperature swings. Never dose antibiotics blindly—find the cause first. This article covers the reasons and responses.
Kitten Ate Leftover Fish and Bones, Then Stopped Eating and Thin with Abdominal Twitching
Weight loss with abdominal twitching likely indicates gastroenteritis from bacterial, viral or parasitic infection. See a vet for the cause; bacterial cases use antibiotics plus pet probiotics to regulate the gut.
Can Turtles Get Constipated? Why and How to Fix It
Turtles do get constipated, usually from low fiber, swallowed objects, too little exercise, or a poor environment. Fixes range from edible oil or mild laxatives and enemas to probiotics, with vet care for severe cases that become obstruction. This article explains the causes and treatments.
It passed jelly-like, bloody stool and is listless; what is this and how to treat it?
Bloody jelly stool in a turtle is usually gastroenteritis from water temperature, water quality, or diet. Keep it dry-warm at 25-30C, offer clean water, and see a vet; injectable gentamicin per weight if needed. Drug dosing is critical.
My kitten vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
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.
My dog has been lethargic and has no appetite for the past two weeks, vomits white foam, and anti-vomiting medicine didn’t help; I also found a hard lump on one nipple and two or three small hard lumps next to another nipple.
Vomiting foam and loss of appetite can signal serious illness such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or viral infection, not just a minor upset. Combined with nipple lumps, mammary tumor or breast cancer cannot be ruled out and needs veterinary assessment. Do not medicate at home; seek professional diagnosis and treatment.
