Not sure what happened, my cat just threw up. I only fed it cat food and water, nothing else.
Vomiting yellow-green fluid can be caused by many issues—indigestion, gastritis, gastric ulcer, pancreatitis, liver or gallbladder disease, or infection with feline distemper or coronavirus. Withhold food temporarily and offer a little warm water to prevent dehydration. If vomiting stops, probiotics and pet antibiotics may help; if it continues, see a vet.
My one-month-old kitten was bought 6 days ago and was fine, but suddenly became listless, walks slowly, is sleepy, and has mild diarrhea — what’s wrong?
From your description, the kitten shows listlessness, slow walking, sleepiness, and diarrhea, which is very likely an illness, possibly from gastrointestinal problems. Given its young age and lack of vaccination, infectious disease cannot be ruled out.
My dog vomited and now has jelly-like sticky stool; what should I do?
Jelly-like mucus in the stool often indicates gastrointestinal mucosal ulcers, possibly from bacterial or viral enteritis or parasites. See a vet for targeted treatment; if mild, withhold food and water and use medication.
What if a dog drinks enema solution?
A dog that accidentally drinks enema solution may have severe gastrointestinal reactions, even life-threatening ones. Glycerin speeds the bowel, causing violent vomiting and diarrhea, and possibly dehydration death. Magnesium sulfate raises osmotic pressure, causing spasm or ulcers. In pregnant dogs, it may cause miscarriage.
My dog has been vomiting white foam since March 21.
White foam may come from gastrointestinal blockage, dysfunction, parasites, a cold, or infectious disease; the exact cause needs a clinical check. See a vet; a blockage may need surgery, and dysfunction may need probiotics.
Why does a dog vomit when frightened?
Fright raises stress hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline, reducing gut blood flow and slowing or stopping gut movement, causing retention of stomach fluid, bile, or food and leading to vomiting. Calm it and give a quiet space.
My cat has vomited for three days, almost no hair, and after giving cat grass it vomited green water.
Causes of vomiting include eating too fast, parasites, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, and panleukopenia. Do not feed cat grass as it burdens the gut. Give probiotics and cimetidine to stop vomiting; if no improvement, see a vet for an antiemetic injection.
What is the pregnancy state of a German Shepherd?

My cat has ear problems, is lethargic, and vomits yellow fluid; what treatment and cost?
Ear mites or otitis media need an ear scope (about 100 yuan); with poor appetite and yellow vomit, also do bloodwork and gut checks. Mite treatment is cheap but slow; gut tests cost more, and hospitalization costs the most.
