Doberman vomiting and diarrhea with low energy, no blood in stool; won’t eat and vomits when force-fed
Canine parvovirus is an acute, severe infectious disease second only to distemper in danger, and there is no specific cure. Home treatment is not advised as it may miss the best treatment window. Early fasting and withholding water are recommended, and oral medication should be avoided.
Dog sneezes and retches
Sneezing and retching may be a cold; keep the dog warm and give anti-inflammatories plus cough medicine. If unvaccinated, distemper or kennel cough is possible.
Ate spicy liver on 5/30, diarrhea and vomiting, improved after a vet shot; bathed 6/1; vomited again 6/2, tests ruled out panleukopenia, diagnosed gastroenteritis
Diarrhea and vomiting after eating irritating food is usually acute gastroenteritis, needing anti-vomiting and anti-inflammatory shots, plus fluids if fasting long. A bland diet aids recovery.
Refusing food and very weak when moving
A hamster that will not eat is likely sick, and prolonged fasting leads to weakness and can cause collapse and death. It should be given energy and water promptly to avoid dehydration.
The checkup shows coronavirus, still has diarrhea, is eating now, and urine is very yellow.
Coronavirus is treated supportively: anti-vomit, anti-diarrhea, fluids, antibiotics. Since it eats, manage symptoms at home with diarrhea control, water, and nutrition; if severe or unrelieved, withhold food/water and give IV fluids.
My dog is sick; the local hospital says it has coronavirus with some lung infection, won’t eat, and can’t stand steady—what should I do?
If coronavirus is confirmed and the dog stops eating, give IV fluids promptly. Treatment: antiviral, control secondary infection, fluids, symptomatic care; hospitalization raises cure rate. Unsteady standing means very weak—fluids are important. With effective treatment, recovery in about 7 days.
What could be causing stool like this?
Vomiting and diarrhea together may signal hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer, or parvovirus/coronavirus infection. If unvaccinated, get a blood count, fecal exam, and virus screen at once. Parvo needs antiviral serum and interferon plus supportive meds; severe cases may need hospitalization for fluids.
Lethargy, low spirits, poor appetite, slightly enlarged abdomen, weak hind legs, yellow urine
Based on your description, the cat likely has FIP. See a vet for diagnosis; FIP is confirmed by histopathology and has no specific cure. Treatment uses immune-suppressing and anti-inflammatory drugs, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and supportive care (IV fluids, thoracentesis).
My dog has watery diarrhea and wants to sleep after taking deworming medicine.
Loose stools and drowsiness after deworming are normal, since the medication irritates the gut as it attacks parasites. Give pet probiotics and watch for one to two days, and if diarrhea is severe, seek IV fluids at a vet.
My 10-jin cat ate 2 albendazole tablets; is that a problem?
Whether 2 albendazole tablets harm a 10-jin cat depends on drug concentration, which varies by brand, so follow the label dose. If unsure it overdosed, ask the brand or vet with the box. If overdosed, give more water and watch for vomiting, seizures, low spirits; if abnormal, go for gastric lavage and fluids.
