My three-month-old dog has soft stools, then suddenly worsened, vomited a worm, and now keeps vomiting and won’t move
Vomiting and diarrhea with worms indicates intestinal parasite infection causing acute gastroenteritis. Because the dog is vomiting severely, seek veterinary care for an antiemetic injection and fluids before oral medication.
My puppy is under three months old, recently stopped eating, got thin and listless, and I found parasites in its bed. Does it need deworming, and how do I get it to take the medicine?
Worms in the stool mean a serious internal parasite infection needing prompt deworming. Use oral meds with milbemycin, praziquantel, or fenbendazole; puppies need monthly deworming. Choose a palatable product to make dosing easier.

Why is my kitten’s belly so big?
A young kitten's belly is usually round and full because kittens cannot defecate on their own and need stimulation. Overeating that is not digested can also cause bloating. In that case, give pet probiotics to regulate the stomach. Worms in the abdomen can also cause bloating and require deworming.
Why does a kitten get parasites?
Cats catch parasites from food, environment or other animals, as internal (roundworms, coccidia) or external (fleas, mites) types. Dirty food or surroundings spread them. Deworm internally every 3 months, externally monthly.
Kitten under 2 months, just home today, lots of eye discharge, very clingy, wet nose, no runny nose.
Much discharge and half-closed eyes with a wet nose suggest blocked nasolacrimal duct, rhinotracheitis, eye worms, or eye inflammation. Short-nosed cats get blockages needing surgery; rhinotracheitis has more signs; worms need deworming; inflammation uses eye drops.
