~2-month puppy: started with yellow mucus, vomited kibble, gave Sanhuang pills, better; 2-3 days later repeated, gave glucose and gentamicin, vomits morning kibble with convulsions (legs up), good appetite but poor state.
Yellow mucus, vomiting, convulsions, lethargy may be flu, distemper, or parasites; an unvaccinated 2-month pup is at high risk. See a vet. Distemper needs antivirals + antiemetic/antibiotics/nutrition; flu+gut issues use amoxicillin-clavulanate/doxycycline and gentamicin+probiotics; deworm if parasitic.
Kitten found Oct 11; normal stools for half a month with manual/self stimulation, but after a formula change, no stool for 4-5 days, probiotics didn’t help, only urinates often. What should I do?
If constipation started after the formula change, the gut may not digest it or it has antidiarrheal agents. See a vet to clear blockage; then return to the old formula or another to avoid recurrence.
What happens if a dog eats a mango pit?
A small pit may cause nothing; a large one can block the gut (vomiting, constipation, pain). The kernel has cyanideβmuch of it causes poisoning (breathing trouble, irregular heartbeat, coma). Some dogs are allergic (itching, rapid breathing, vomiting, diarrhea).
What happens if a Pug accidentally eats cake?
A little cake is fine, but sweet/greasy cake causes indigestion (diarrhea, constipation, bloating). High calories cause obesity and heart/joint disease; residue causes tartar/periodontal disease. Don't feed cake/sweets often.
Puppy’s belly is hugely bloated and it can’t stand. What to do?
Big belly may be diet, gut issues, ascites, or other disease. If it ate lots of dry/expanding food, stop feeding and give digestives. Otherwise see a vet for detailed tests to find the cause.
Previously ate cornmeal elsewhere; day 1 home had goat-milk-soaked kibble; this morning gave smectite and probiotics, then two more loose stools, still watery, but the puppy is very energetic. Should I fast and withhold water?
Recent arrival and food change likely cause stress/upset diarrhea. Fast 6-12 hours with probiotics and watch; if no relief, see a vet for parasites etc.
Vomited yellow fluid, then ate probiotics plus cat sticks, now has diarrhea.
If energy and appetite are normal, it's temporary indigestion β feed easier foods (minced chicken, softened kibble) in small frequent meals. If energy/appetite are poor, see a vet for gut disease, parasites, or virus.
Found a dead bird two days ago, played with it but didn’t eat it; since yesterday foaming at the mouth, not eating, better at night, started again today, unvaccinated.
Possible chronic poisoning from licking the dead bird, which may carry bacteria/viruses; moldy material can poison. If it doesn't recover, get checked and treated.
Arched back, tail down, butt up, lying with a round belly, crying.
Arched back, raised rear, big belly suggest indigestion, parasites, gastroenteritis, or ascites; arching likely eases abdominal pain. Hair buildup can cause acute gastroenteritis. See a vet for the cause.
Two-month-old golden tabby just home, has some ringworm, runs slightly tilted, big belly, purrs when held (not when not). Normal?
A big belly and purring in a 2-month kitten can be normal (overeating; gut sounds). If behavior/appetite are normal, no worry; if purring continues with other signs, see a vet.
