My cat feels like a balloon all over, belly bloated, full of gas, a bit puffy.
Bloat is usually overeating or indigestion; fast half a day to a day and give probiotics, then easy food, recovering in 1-2 days. Control portions. It could also be ascites or gut issues; if appetite drops or breathing is hard, see a vet.
Started foaming at the mouth, then vomited, and worms came out while vomiting, then diarrhea.
The vomited worm is an ascarid (roundworm); many indicate heavy infection—deworm promptly. It can cause gastritis and diarrhea, so also give easy food and probiotics. Unvaccinated raises parvo risk; see a vet if no relief.
What happens if a Bichon eats small sharp bones?
Sharp bones cut the mouth and esophagus, causing bleeding and infection; swallowed in quantity they block the gut, cause constipation, pain, vomiting, poor appetite, and dangerous blockage needing a vet. Don't feed bones; use calcium tablets or calcium-rich food instead.
My cat frequently has blood in stool! Soft stool with blood at the end, but energy and appetite are good.
Soft stool with end blood but good spirit suggests parasites (giardia, coccidia, hookworm). Get a fecal test to identify the type. Hard-to-digest food can also bleed; find the cause first.
Hello doctor, my cat is a household cat eating leftovers; since the Mid-Autumn family dinner it won’t eat, only drinks water, and is very thin. Maybe it ate bones. How to treat? Almost a month now, urgent.
Not eating, only drinking, and severe weight loss suggest gut parasites, gastroenteritis, or diabetes. Parasites need deworming; gastroenteritis hurts appetite. After a month and severe loss, see a vet at once to find the cause.
The cough has vomiting sounds; it’s shaking out white mucus.
Cough with white mucus can be indigestion, parasites, virus, or food blockage; white foam suggests gut lining damage, possibly from bones piercing the gut. See a vet.
What happens if a dog’s nose isn’t black?
A non-black nose may be genetic (normal) or age-related (slower metabolism, less pigment, no action needed). But poor nutrition can also fade it; such dogs are thin and weak—supplement or check for gut, parasite, or endocrine disease.
What happens if a Teddy eats chives?
Chives are toxic to Teddies, irritating the gut and causing diarrhea and vomiting. Large amounts can cause hemolytic anemia (Heinz bodies) with blood in urine, lethargy, jaundice; stop feeding and consult a vet.
I noticed several times that after using florfenicol-metronidazole ear drops for my cat’s ear mites, it gets diarrhea. Can that happen?
That ear drop is a general antibacterial; use mite-specific medicine instead. Diarrhea after it may be wrong drug or allergy—stop it and switch. If diarrhea continues after switching, the gut may be the issue; see a vet.
Cat won’t eat or drink, belly twitching, for a week; gave gentamicin 2 days with no improvement. What disease and what medicine?
Not eating and belly twitching may be hairballs, gut foreign bodies, or indigestion from swallowed fur causing blockage. Use hairball paste or cat grass; for indigestion, fast and give probiotics. See a vet if no relief.
