Why does my cat retch without vomiting?
Retching may be a hairball—cats swallow fur that builds up and triggers hairball vomiting; give hairball paste regularly. Overeating or fast eating causes gas and discomfort too. It may also be gut disease (inflammation or infection); frequent retching needs a vet.
My three-month-old cat has feline rhinotracheitis; I gave acyclovir and ribavirin for two days, then it got diarrhea and vomited twice; fasting 6 hours stopped vomiting but diarrhea continues. Can rhinotracheitis and gastroenteritis meds be taken together, and which first?
Rhinotracheitis is from herpesvirus; do not blindly use ribavirin—a human drug banned in vet medicine for severe side effects (diarrhea, anemia, anorexia, birth defects). The diarrhea may come from wrong medication. Stop the harsh human drugs; both conditions can be treated together with compliant, targeted meds per a vet's guidance.
What should I do if my cat vomits undigested food?
Vomiting undigested food may come from overeating, indigestion, or gut disease, with normal energy. Fast it, give pet probiotics or yeast-based medicine to regulate and move contents; resume feeding after relief. If no improvement or other signs, see a vet.
What should I do if my cat vomits white foam?
Foaming can come from gut issues, viral infection, poisoning, or other disease; hairballs, blockage, gastroenteritis, distemper, or poisoning all can cause it—treat by cause. If only foam with normal energy, it is likely gut-related and easier to recover.
My two-month-old neutered Teddy ate rehydrated duck freeze-dry at 8pm, coughed, I gave a little amoxicillin; at midnight more cough, more amoxicillin and duck, then refused food; now sudden violent cough and green loose stool—what is wrong?
Cough suggests upper respiratory infection from chill, bacteria, or virus; green loose stool means gut trouble, possibly virus or parasites. With multiple signs, see a vet at once. If not, symptomatic care with an anti-inflammatory cough herbal tablet and doxycycline, probiotics, then deworm; if no improvement, it is serious.
My one-month-old kitten vomited white curd-like matter at 10am; after fasting a few hours I gave milk, then at 7pm it vomited yellow with yesterday’s food, plus diarrhea, formed stool, poor appetite but still energetic
A one-month kitten vomiting but lively may have feeding error, indigestion, spoiled formula, chill, or parasites. White curd vomit suggests undigested formula or food; fast half a day, give probiotics, keep a single diet in small meals, and watch two days. If vomiting continues, consider gastritis, infection, or parasites and see a vet.
Could my hamster have wet-tail disease? Its stool sticks to its body and smells, and it sleeps at night
Wet-tail shows as damp, dirty, foul tail base, watery stool, lethargy, slow movement, squinting eyes; with these, see a vet. From the photo the stools are still formed, so watch closely—if energy is okay, try gut probiotics, warm the room, and add toys; it should slowly recover.
What happens if my dog eats too much cheese?
A little cheese is fine, but too much causes gut upset—vomiting, diarrhea, belly pain. Cheese is high in fat and salt, so long-term excess can cause obesity, high blood pressure, and tear stains. Feed small amounts of low-fat, low-salt cheese and watch for reactions.
The seller said my kitten could drink pure milk; I gave some, and now it has diarrhea for two days—what should I do?
The diarrhea is likely lactose intolerance from the milk. If the kitten is energetic, stop the milk (and high-protein food), fast half a day, and give an anti-diarrhea medication and probiotics; resume easy-to-digest food in small meals. If other signs appear, it may be parasites, enteritis, or distemper—see a vet.
My one-month-old puppy ate meat and now has diarrhea and vomiting—what should I do?
A one-month-old's gut is immature; meat (anything but milk) easily causes indigestion, diarrhea, even vomiting. Stop feeding 12–24 hours with probiotics, keep warm; if lethargic or poor appetite, it may be parasites or distemper, parvo, or corona—see a vet.
