Two-month-old kitten with blood in stool, suspected cat litter ingestion, prolapse from diarrhea, vomiting; corona virus weakly positive at the clinic, diagnosed with gastroenteritis
Blood in the stool and vomiting in a young kitten call for ruling out panleukopenia and parasites. With weak corona positivity it may be corona virus enteritis or a foreign-body issue; follow the vet's plan.
My cat throws up food soon after eating and yellow fluid with blood streaks since yesterday
Vomiting food with yellow fluid and blood points to gut trouble like gastritis, infection, or hairballs, and blood means mucosal damage or ulcer. Stop food, see a vet; treat with anti-emetic, acid suppression, and fluids, or surgery for blockage.
My roughly 1 to 2 month old dog has a swollen waist and low energy could it be ascites?
A big belly is not necessarily ascites; it may be fullness, indigestion, or gas. The surest check is X-ray and ultrasound; by feel, gas is hard and drum-like while ascites sounds dull with fluid wave.
How long does dog acute pancreatitis take to heal?
With prompt treatment, dog acute pancreatitis usually cures in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on severity and complications. It causes severe diarrhea and vomiting; early care uses fluids, anti-inflammation, pancreatic suppression, and gut protection.
How long after calving can a cow be dewormed?
Deworm a cow 20 to 30 days after calving, with staged gut and external deworming. Calves start at about 2 months or sooner if parasite signs appear; their weak immunity needs prompt action.
My turtle of over ten years recently stopped eating and stays in the corner; could new sick turtles have infected it?
Turtles stop eating for many reasons. Stress from new tankmates, or illness such as pneumonia, shell rot or gut disease can suppress appetite. Provide a safe, warm, quiet environment with fresh food.
My rabbit eats, drinks, and defecates, but its belly is balloon-tight; is this gas? Stool varies in size with occasional pointed ends; a few days now, occasional squat and lying.
A tight belly may be gut stagnation causing gas; tap it, and a 'bong bong' sound means gas, from low fiber and slow movement or toxic feed. Best to see a vet for medication. If not, oral metoclopramide and simethicone aid movement and gas; papaya pills and pineapple juice lubricate; feed small frequent high-fiber meals.
My rabbit has not been eating for days and its belly feels bloated.
Not eating with a bloated belly may be gas, food stagnation, or constipation. Stagnation from undigested food fermenting needs confirmation by palpation and X-ray, with more fiber and probiotics to aid movement. Constipation needs probiotics, water, and lactulose. If critical, see a vet for tests.
My two-month-old Golden Retriever vomited white foam first thing in the morning, had dry heaves last night, no stool, no eating, just lies down whining, temperature normal.
Foaming vomit in dogs has many causes: food poisoning, poor diet, gut disease, parvovirus, distemper. An unvaccinated dog with foam vomit, no eating, and low spirits should be tested for parvo, distemper, or coronavirus. Non-viral causes may be gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites; treat the cause. Dehydration is risky, so seek IV care.
My Syrian Hamster’s Belly Suddenly Swelled Like a Balloon with Diarrhea; What Is Wrong?
