How to treat a dog’s bloody stool
Treat bloody stool by first easing diarrhea with antibiotics and probiotics, then targeted deworming for parasites. Hemorrhagic enteritis needs fluids and meds; parvo, corona, or distemper need a vet.
My cat vomited its food, then had diarrhea with pink-tinged water
Vomiting with pink-tinged fluid may be a foreign object scratching the gut or parasite/panleukopenia infection. A fecal exam and X-ray are recommended; give glucose water if it hasn't eaten.
My three-month-old dog has soft stools, then suddenly worsened, vomited a worm, and now keeps vomiting and won’t move
Vomiting and diarrhea with worms indicates intestinal parasite infection causing acute gastroenteritis. Because the dog is vomiting severely, seek veterinary care for an antiemetic injection and fluids before oral medication.
My cat has gastritis, vomits, will not eat or drink or defecate, and medication has not helped for two days – what should I do?
With gastritis, oral pills may just be vomited up and keep irritating the stomach. Get anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory injections plus fluids, then a prescription diet and probiotics.
My puppy’s early vaccine failed; it vomited yellow fluid, was diagnosed weak-positive parvo, had six shots but still vomited twice. Can it recover?
Parvo is curable with timely, full treatment: antivirals, symptom control, and fluids; just fluids and anti-vomit is not enough. See a vet; with care, a fair recovery chance exists.
What fruit can a tortoise eat?

What happens if a dog neither eats nor drinks?
Long refusal of food and water causes low blood sugar, dehydration, weight loss, and organ failure, even death. Find the cause and see a vet; fluids come first.
Dog Vomited, Now Foams and Has Bloody Diarrhea, Lethargic
This strongly suggests canine parvovirus. Test with a kit or vet, then use parvovirus monoclonal, interferon and symptom meds, plus IV fluids for electrolytes.
Cat vomits nonstop: first undigested kibble, then yellow water, then pale-yellow foam, ~5-6 times; two cats affected, one worse
Frequent vomiting may be a bad or allergic kibble, or spoiled food with bacteria and mold. Fast the cat and give glucose and electrolytes to avoid dehydration. After it stops, feed bland soft food. Suspect more than food if it persists beyond 2-3 days; see a vet.
My dog drank a lot at once and vomited thick clear fluid
Water intoxication is dangerous and can cause seizures, breathing trouble, coma, or death if severe. But your dog only vomited and salivated after drinking a lot, so it is not too bad; try mild salt water, limit water temporarily, and observe. Or give IV electrolytes at a vet to restore sodium. If it worsens, go to a hospital.
