How to Treat a Parrot’s Red, Swollen, Tearful Eye
A red, swollen, weeping parrot eye is often a bacterial conjunctivitis or keratitis from injury, eased with erythromycin ointment and chloramphenicol drops. If with fluffed feathers, diarrhea, or yellow nasal discharge, it is one-eyed cold (chlamydia) and needs isolation and vet care.
How to Handle Parrot Diarrhea
Parrots pass urine and feces together, so extra water or fruit can look like diarrhea when it is not. True diarrhea is colored, watery, and mucoid with low appetite. Use garlic water, oxytetracycline, or probiotics, and prevent it with clean, varied food.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.
My cat hasn’t eaten for two days, vomits yellow fluid, and is low in energy; what is wrong?
Yellow vomit and not eating may be distemper/coronavirus, obstruction, hairballs, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or internal disease (hepatitis, kidney failure, pancreatitis). Get a vet infectious-disease and blood check. Withhold food 0.5-1 day; if frequent vomiting, fluids and anti-emetics; do not force feed.
My roughly two-month kitten, bought a week ago; the night before last at midnight it vomited once, a thin white worm like roundworm, then next afternoon vomited again without worm, just foam, then through the night vomited about ten times, sometimes yellow fluid, eating or drinking nothing, even milk vomited. What do I do?
White thin worms are likely roundworms; frequent vomiting with no food risks pancreatitis and fatty liver, so vet fluids first to correct electrolytes, then deworm. Use ivermectin/fenbendazole-based drugs plus antibiotics; give probiotics later. Do NOT give milk (lactose intolerance).
My fancy rat has been low in energy since this morning; what should I do?
Low energy after a bath is likely stress or a cold; if no runny nose, it was probably just frightened. Keep it warm, give glucose, and avoid disturbance; see a vet if it does not improve.
My rabbit got diarrhea (watery) two hours after a bath and blow-dry, but energy is fine. What should I do?
Post-bath diarrhea with good energy is likely chills or stress upsetting gut flora; keep it warm and withhold food briefly. Offer warm water with a little glucose and electrolytes to prevent dehydration. Severe cases may take lactase tablets and norfloxacin; rabbits rarely need baths.
My Pet Hasn’t Eaten for Five Days, Only Drinks Water, Vomits Yellow Fluid, Is Lethargic and Weak – What Should I Do?
Per description, 5 days without food and vomiting may cause limb weakness, low blood sugar, dehydration. Promptly take to vet for IV to restore electrolytes and fluids; then tests to find root cause, targeted treatment. Otherwise it may die; self-recovery or home treatment unlikely.
Symptoms of Trichomoniasis in Parrots
Parrot trichomoniasis shows as throat, navel, organ, or gut forms; signs include yellow mouth spots, weight loss, breathing trouble, and death in 4–8 days if untreated. Treat with dewormer plus electrolytes, separated feeding, or oral medication. This article covers symptoms and treatment.
My dog has diarrhea, vomited white foam three times, then yellow fluid—what’s wrong?
Your description centers on vomiting and diarrhea rather than confirmed cold symptoms; colds rarely cause digestive signs. Causes vary—if from bad diet or overeating it may be acute gastroenteritis needing fasting, fluids and anti-emetics; if unvaccinated, see a vet for diagnosis and hospitalization.
