Is metabolic liver disease necessarily treated without fluid therapy? What medicine is needed for jaundice?
Treatment protects the liver and detoxifies and treats the primary disease. Fluid therapy is necessary, especially when the cat refuses food. Liver drugs via injection work better; protecting and detoxifying uses glucose and amino acids. But if neurological symptoms appear, amino acids and complex vitamins are contraindicated.
What is the effect of fluid therapy for dogs?
Fluid therapy replenishes water and salts to keep normal balance, needed when dehydrated from heat or illness. Nutrients in the fluid quickly restore what is needed and aid recovery during sickness or after surgery.
Constant Diarrhea, Negative for Panleukopenia but Positive for Coronavirus, Fluid in Abdomen on Ultrasound—Could It Be FIP? (Kitten Too Small to Draw Blood)
The signs are suspicious for FIP, which is hard to confirm. Try 'reverse' treatment—improvement essentially confirms it. FIP care needs immune suppression, anti-inflammatories, infection prevention, and support; severe cases may need surgery.
My Cat Hasn’t Eaten or Drunk for Two Days, Got Thin, and Vomits Yellow Fluid—What Should I Do?

Just-over-two-month kitten, big breathing movements, sleeps all day, drinks often, slightly less appetite, ate little canned food, belly a bit large; is it fluid buildup?
With big abdominal movement, lethargy, less appetite, more drinking, and no vaccines, contagious peritonitis cannot be ruled out; it is serious and needs a vet check, possibly IV fluids if confirmed.
What fluids and medications does a 3 kg dog need on days 1 to 3 after bladder stone surgery?
After bladder stone surgery, dogs usually need fluids, anti-inflammation, and diuretics, plus plenty of water and long-term prescription food. Exact fluids and drugs depend on the dog's indicators, so follow the vet's advice; a broad-spectrum antibiotic prevents infection. The condition often recurs, so monitor and recheck.
Vomited 6 times today (3 this morning); vet tested coronavirus, got a shot, then vomited 3 more times: brown fluid, then white foam, now red in the vomit. What to do?
Feline coronavirus usually needs hospitalization: fluids, injections, oral meds. If it becomes FIP, use 376 or 441; sustained fluids prevent dehydration. Improves in about a week but relapses; follow up.
My cat is blocked, had high potassium, fluids lowered it, but X-ray found pleural effusion and now it breathes fast with irregular heartbeat
Once a cat is blocked, catheterize promptly; with high potassium, catheterize and fluid simultaneously. Pleural effusion raises treatment risk - go to a large, proper hospital. Effusion may signal heart disease, so get an echo; give oxygen for post-tap rapid breathing.
My dog keeps vomiting yellow fluid, has blood in dark diarrhea, and lies down all day
Recurrent yellow-fluid vomiting with blood in the stool may be canine parvovirus, especially if unvaccinated. A parvo test, fecal exam, and ultrasound are recommended to confirm the cause.
After three days of injections and two days of fluids, my cat came home incontinent, lifeless, and dehydrated.
Feline gastritis varies by type; bacterial cases need oral antibiotics while viral cases need fluids. Incontinence and dehydration mean continued rehydration is urgent.
