My Cat Has Diarrhea (Yellow Stools), Is Lethargic, Belly Cramps, Looks Nauseous, and Breathes Rapidly
This may be panleukopenia, parasites, GI disease, or diet. Deworm and test first; gastroenteritis or pancreatitis also fit. Severe cases like panleukopenia can be fatal within a week—see a vet promptly.
My 3-month-old kitten has been home about 5 days; it will not eat or drink, occasionally has diarrhea and vomits, and now cannot stand. What illness is this?
A newly arrived kitten that will not eat or drink and has vomiting and diarrhea is likely suffering from a gastrointestinal disease or feline panleukopenia (distemper). Now being unable to stand suggests dehydration and electrolyte loss from prolonged vomiting and diarrhea, requiring immediate fluid therapy.
My cat started vomiting white foam last night and is weak all over; sometimes it cannot bring anything up. What is wrong?

My cat has been low in spirit lately, always wants to sleep, walks very slowly, has poor appetite, doesn’t like to drink, lies down all day, but sometimes perks up with its favorite toy. It used to sneeze a lot and its belly twitches

What happens if my dog eats amoxicillin by accident?
A small amount of amoxicillin usually causes only mild stomach upset—vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite—that passes soon; give water to help flush. A large amount can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and kidney or liver damage, even organ failure.
My dog ate a few garlic stalks—I read online dogs can’t eat them. Will it be okay?
Garlic stalks contain sulfides and nitrites that harm dogs, causing stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea, even hemolysis. Induce vomiting with diluted hydrogen peroxide soon after eating; if too late, watch for symptoms and see a vet if any appear.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
