What to Know About Keeping a Rabbit
Rabbits are gentle but need care: a quiet home and clean cage, proper diet (pellets, hay, rinsed produce), chew toys, exercise, correct holding, and rare baths.
Since arriving home it has had diarrhea with a bit of blood and won’t eat; with kibble soaked in goat milk it only drinks the milk and leaves the kibble, and ignores canned food too
Bloody diarrhea has many causes: food, gut, parasites, stress, infection. A newly arrived dog may get acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis from intolerance or stress, needing IV fluids with anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and anti-diarrhea drugs. Unvaccinated dogs need infection checks.
Severe gastroenteritis, not drinking or eating, had injections, body twitching
Severe gastroenteritis needs anti-inflammatories, gut protectants, probiotics, and electrolyte correction; avoid blind medication. Urgent vet care prevents dehydration and shock.
Symptoms for 2-3 days: not eating, just lying down, tail not wagging
A dog that cannot stand and will not eat is sick - gut disease, heart disease, joint or nerve disease can all cause this, but the exact cause cannot be judged from symptoms alone. See a vet for the right treatment. The dog's state is poor; long fasting weakens it and, without treatment, can be life-threatening.
On the second day home it had diarrhea, was listless, and vomited clear fluid.
Diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy the second day home are often a stress reaction to a new environment. Give smectite powder and probiotics, keep it warm, and see a vet if unvaccinated or not improving.
What to do about Teddy (poodle) bad breath?

Bought fish oil; gave some before work, forgot to close it, came back and it ate about 50-60 pills; since last night mild diarrhea, dark stool, a bit sleepy today; any problem?
Dogs must not eat excess fish oil; their digestion and liver are limited, and too much causes acute diarrhea or even gut bleeding, and dark stool suggests digestive bleeding. If spirits are fine after diarrhea, little danger; if diarrhea, sleepiness, and poor appetite continue, vitamin toxicity is possible, so go to the vet at once.
What Happens If I Feed a Teddy (Poodle) Whole Milk?
A Poodle drinking whole milk may show lactose intolerance—diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite—because it lacks lactase. Prolonged diarrhea can cause dangerous dehydration, so lactose-free milk, goat's milk, or pet formula is recommended instead.
My puppy hasn’t eaten for three days, only vomits, and today it only drinks water and throws it up right after.
Vomiting right after drinking suggests gut disease or pancreatitis. After 3 days with no food the dog is weak, so take it for IV fluids and energy plus diagnosis. Delay risks hypoglycemia, dehydration, shock, death.
