Why Is Your Turtle Vomiting?
Turtle vomiting can follow post-surgery weakness, big temperature swings, spoiled food, gut damage from overfeeding, or toxin ingestion. Fixes range from rest and warm water to antibiotics, probiotics, or induced vomiting for poisoning. This article covers the causes and treatments.
My roughly two-month kitten, bought a week ago; the night before last at midnight it vomited once, a thin white worm like roundworm, then next afternoon vomited again without worm, just foam, then through the night vomited about ten times, sometimes yellow fluid, eating or drinking nothing, even milk vomited. What do I do?
White thin worms are likely roundworms; frequent vomiting with no food risks pancreatitis and fatty liver, so vet fluids first to correct electrolytes, then deworm. Use ivermectin/fenbendazole-based drugs plus antibiotics; give probiotics later. Do NOT give milk (lactose intolerance).
