My cat has diarrhea with blood in the stool — is it because I recently changed its food?
Bloody stool can be parasites, indigestion, enteritis, or distemper. Recent food change likely caused indigestion or allergy; adjust diet, give probiotics, and transition food gradually. See a vet if it persists.
Why is my cat’s appetite down and listless?
Low appetite and lethargy are early signs of many diseases, including gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, FIP, distemper, or coronavirus. Try probiotics; if prolonged with little food, see a vet.
New dog had dry nose, harsh cough, cool ears, soft stool
A new dog with dry nose, harsh cough, and cool ears may not just have a cold; suspect distemper or kennel cough. Many pups come from messy breeding with disease, sometimes suppressed by stimulants so they look fine, then crash in days, the so-called weekend dog that often dies within 7 days. Screen for viruses first; if only a cold, use doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
Coughing and runny nose
A coughing, runny dog may have a chill or infections like distemper or parainfluenza. If severe and unvaccinated, screen for infectious disease first. If it is only a common cold, give anti-inflammatory and cough medicine such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, doxycycline, or herbal cough formulas. For distemper, follow the vet.
My 3-month-old kitten suddenly stopped eating, cries for food but eats nothing, only drinks water, and vomits food and yellow fluid while losing weight but staying active
A cat that won't eat, vomits yellow fluid, and loses weight rapidly can have many causes, including indigestion, viral infection, or internal parasites. For indigestion, give anti-emetics and probiotics. For parasites, deworm. If feline distemper is the cause, see a vet promptly.
My dog has vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose, lethargy, no eating/drinking, and bloody stool for two days
These symptoms strongly suggest an infectious disease such as distemper, coronavirus, or parvovirus, or possibly acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Get a blood test and PCR to find the cause; infectious diseases are life-threatening, so treat promptly.
Kitten was fine when first brought home, but started vomiting the next day with clear fluid and white foam, refusing food, listless for three days, vomiting 2 to 3 times daily, sometimes yellow; never ate, threw up a few kibbles, ate some cat strips and hairball paste, water never cut off. Gave amoxicillin on day three, still vomiting, ate some chicken breast, vomited green fluid at night, then started having diarrhea.
Based on your description, vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea are most likely caused by enteritis or feline panleukopenia (distemper) virus infection. Because symptoms appeared shortly after bringing the kitten home, it may be a so-called week-old kitten from an unreliable source.
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 happens when a Teddy puppy gets vaccinated?
Teddy dogs need vaccines against common canine diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and rabies, which build immunity and prevent spread. Puppies may have mild discomfort — fever, poor appetite, lethargy — that fades in days. After vaccination, rest, keep warm, avoid overexertion and contact with other dogs to prevent infection.
Started vomiting yesterday, poor appetite, stool firm then loose with a foul smell, temperature 39.8°C.
Based on your description — vomiting, poor appetite, fever, diarrhea — these are typical signs of distemper, possibly an infection. Test with a canine distemper strip; if both C and T lines turn red or purple, the dog is infected. Distemper is highly contagious with over 80% mortality, so see a vet urgently.
