How can you tell a Teddy is having diarrhea?
A Teddy has diarrhea when its stools are soft, loose, watery, strongly smelly, and more frequent than normal. For diarrhea, feed easily digestible food like boiled chicken breast and millet porridge or softened kibble. Replenish fluids and add electrolytes to help recovery, and use probiotics if needed.
How to relieve dog dehydration?
When a dog shows signs of dehydration, provide plenty of water, and if it refuses to drink, add chicken broth or food scents to attract it.

My male rabbit won’t eat and is listless, with very cold ears—what should I do?
Sick rabbits show reduced appetite, lethargy, slow response and low temperature. Rabbit diseases vary, so symptoms differ; send it to a vet promptly, or if impossible, treat by symptoms without delay. If it refuses food, is listless and body is cold, it may be hypothermic or dehydrated and in danger—warm it at once, give electrolytes or glucose water by vein or mouth, then treat by other symptoms.

Puppy with jelly-like stool full of worms after diarrhea – what is the cause?
Persistent diarrhea with worms and poor appetite suggests severe internal parasite infestation causing gastroenteritis, and secondary parvovirus cannot be ruled out. Have the vet screen for infectious disease; if not viral, continue the prescribed antidiarrheal and consider fluids, electrolytes and antibiotics.
Foaming at the mouth, running around, barking, convulsing. How do I save it?
