Gastric dilation needs more than drugs; dehydration needs fluids, so see a vet. Treatment includes tube decompression, antispasmodics, fluids, sometimes surgery; chlorpromazine etc. ease pain/spasm, with emergency subcutaneous injection.
Cat had poor appetite but was energetic; then vomited yellow-white foam and everything eaten; X-ray showed no foreign body, barium vomited up; ultrasound suspects intestinal blockage and wants laparotomy, but imaging shows no clear object or swollen bowel. Please diagnose.
With vomiting and poor appetite and unclear tests, the case is complex; cannot diagnose without reports. Follow the vet, consider laparotomy; sustained fluids and symptomatic care; delay risks bowel necrosis.
Cat frequents the litter box, produces little urine, and has blood in the urine
Frequent urination with little output and blood is a classic sign of urinary blockage, possibly from bladder stones, urinary tract stones, infection, idiopathic cystitis, or tumors. If the bladder is very full, seek veterinary care for catheterization and fluids.
My dog ate a little daffodil, vomited three times, still energetic, now asleep – need a vet
Vomiting after eating daffodil means poisoning; daffodils contain alkaloids that damage the gut and nervous system. Take it to a vet promptly for induced vomiting and gastric lavage, plus fluids if toxic signs show. Don't delay.
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 cat has reduced appetite, sits in a loaf position and occasionally vomits – what’s wrong?
The loaf position usually means abdominal pain from gastritis, FIP, liver disease or hairballs. See a vet to find the cause; dehydration and refusal to eat need fluids.
My cat still vomits after recovering from feline panleukopenia (distemper) – why?
Vomiting after panleukopenia is common because the virus damages the gut, sometimes leaving gastritis or pancreatitis. Use probiotics and a prescription diet, and see a vet for severe cases.
My puppy just came home and wouldn’t eat or drink (belly maybe rumbling), but ate the next day; then the hospital found coronavirus. The next few days it eats and drinks a little, not much, but urination and defecation are normal. The vet said no abnormality, no treatment needed. Is something wrong, does it need treatment?
Puppies with obvious coronavirus symptoms need vet care, but yours only eats little. Offer palatable soft food; if it refuses, get nutrient fluids at the vet to keep appetite and nutrition up, since not eating can cause dehydration and spread the virus.
