My 7-year-old dog has eaten only jerky treats and human food its whole adult life and is very picky; I want to force a switch to dog food and cans—will that harm it, and is it used to the old diet? It refused cans and kibble before.
Dogs over 7 should eat easy-to-digest, lower-fat senior food; human food is salty and burdens heart/kidneys. Mix a little kibble into the old food and slowly raise the ratio rather than forcing the change.
My two-month-old kitten won’t eat, is thin but lively and playful, and spits out kibble put in its mouth.
It may dislike the food—soak kibble in warm water/goat milk or switch kitten food/wet food. Watch stool for softness, worms, blood, or vomiting; if present, see a vet for parasites.
My cat eats boiled chicken, carrot, gizzards and kibble, and suddenly vomited today
From the photo, the vomit is undigested food, usually from improper feeding or overeating causing indigestion. Withhold food for a while and give pet probiotics to balance gut flora. If vomiting continues, gastroenteritis is possible and a veterinary visit is advised.
50-day kitten, just home, slept, then vomited and had diarrhea, ate little; at the seller it ate; back home won’t eat, vomited undigested kibble and diarrhea; panleukopenia test one line
A new environment can cause stress vomiting and diarrhea, which usually eases as the cat adapts. Use the old food to test appetite; one line on the test means no panleukopenia.
Why does my dog vomit right after eating kibble?
Vomiting after kibble may be from eating too fast, foreign objects, or intolerance. Use a slow feeder; if it persists, fast and see a vet.
My three-month-old cat vomits after eating kibble and leaves crumbs – is this food bad for it?
Vomiting after eating may be the gut adjusting to the kibble. Switch to better kitten food, add probiotics, and see a vet if vomiting returns.
My dog barely eats this week, refuses all kibble, only eats sausage and fish, and its eyes are red, swollen, and won’t open
Refusing kibble for sausage/fish is likely picky eating; swollen eyes may be 'internal heat'. Sausage is high-salt/starch, burdens digestion and causes heat. Adjust diet: try different kibble, stop high-calorie/salt food, keep light and varied. If picky persists, let it fast a while but don't exceed 3 days without food.
Vomiting two or three times a month, sometimes hairballs, sometimes kibble or yellow fluid with white foam; eats but never gains weight
There are many causes of vomiting in cats, including indigestion, hairballs, parasite infection, and others. Based on your description, these are the main considerations. When too much hair builds up in a cat, it usually vomits hairballs; the owner can regularly give hairball paste or cat grass to help the cat pass the hair. In addition, a cat vomiting kibble may be from eating too fast or indigestion, so feed on a fixed schedule and control the eating speed. Furthermore, since the cat never gains weight no matter how much it eats, also consider whether it has a parasite infection; regular deworming is recommended.
My dog has had chronic pancreatitis for a year and is on prescription food, but now refuses kibble; the vet suggested cooked homemade food—is my recipe ratio okay, is protein too high, should I adjust?
Consult a pet nutritionist for the recipe. Chronic pancreatitis is fat-driven, so feed low-fat foods (chicken breast, fish) in small frequent meals, no seasonings, varied diet.
It had diarrhea after eating. For two days I fed chicken breast and broccoli and no diarrhea, then went back to kibble and it had diarrhea again, with gas then a sudden rush.
Diarrhea on kibble may mean it hasn't adjusted to the new food or is allergic to an ingredient. Mix a little kibble into the old food and raise the ratio slowly; switch brands if it persists, using single-protein grain-free hypoallergenic food and probiotics.
