A 2-month-old Labrador with diarrhea, vomiting white foam, lethargy, no barking, no tail wagging
Diarrhea, white-foam vomit and lethargy in a 2-month-old have many causes needing clinical workup; usually acute gastroenteritis from bad diet, or viral/parasitic/toxic. If it ate spoiled or greasy food, suspect acute gastroenteritis—fast, give probiotics/anti-inflammatories, and see a vet if weak/dehydrated. If unvaccinated/un-dewormed and young, consider parvovirus, coronavirus or distemper—highly fatal—requiring hospital care.
From the evening of 8/4 she vomited for the first time—whole kibble came out—then we fasted her; on 8/5 she drank a little water and ate little, I gave her a cat treat strip, then early 8/6 she vomited again and soon had diarrhea. She is in a new environment, unvaccinated and undewormed—what is wrong?
Frequent vomiting and diarrhea are usually gastrointestinal issues. Causes: 1) diet change or unsuitable food plus new-environment stress; 2) infection/parasites since unvaccinated/un-dewormed (roundworms, tapeworms); 3) infectious disease (panleukopenia, coronavirus). If alert, fast 12-24h and give probiotics/anti-diarrhea; if no relief, see a vet urgently given no vaccines/deworming.

My puppy is passing white stuff
A just-weaned puppy passing white stool points to gut disorder from milk, spoiled formula, bacterial or parasite infection, or white food, even passing clear jelly-like mucosa. Adjust the diet to normal food, add some probiotics, and if it persists with low energy or appetite, see a vet for a fecal test and deworm carefully by weight to protect the gut lining.
My cat is energetic, kneads and cuddles, eats and drinks normally, but has difficulty defecating
Difficulty defecating is likely constipation from poor gut movement, low exercise, low water, bad diet, or other gut disease. While energy and appetite are normal, increase water and switch to wet food to avoid hard stool, and give probiotics, honey water, or hairball paste; severe cases can use lactulose. More play helps; if no improvement, see a vet for imaging to rule out megacolon or blockage.
Should Rabbits Fast Before Spay or Neuter Surgery?
Rabbits should NOT be fasted before spay or neuter — they do not vomit under anesthesia, and an empty gut raises the risk of fatal gastrointestinal stasis. Spaying females at 1–2 years and neutering males around 6 months lowers reproductive-disease risk, and after surgery keep the environment calm, offer plenty of water and food, and watch the incision for infection.
