My cat vomited undigested kibble, not right after eating; it seemed fine afterward
Vomiting undigested kibble is often from eating too fast and indigestion; give probiotics to aid digestion. Feed on a fixed schedule and place, or use a slow-feeder bowl to curb speed. Hard-to-digest food can also cause it, so pick a suitable kibble.
My cat had a bit of blood at its rear after a morning poop, but the stool was normal-shaped, dark and green; is that okay?
Blood at the rear with otherwise normal stool may be parasites, gut flora imbalance, diet, or proctitis. Regular deworming misses coccidia and tritrichomonas; they cause bloody mucus at stool end. Try probiotics and a diet change, and get a fecal exam if possible.
My hamster had loose stools twice in two days, a wet tail, and today I saw blood at its rear
From the description and photo the hamster likely has wet-tail disease: diarrhea, watery grayish-white foul stool, poor appetite, lethargy, and in severe cases bloody stool and rectal prolapse. Treat with antibiotics, anti-diarrhea medicine, and probiotics, plus fluids; avoid seeds and keep warm.
My dog just came home 4 days ago; it was active at first but the last two days it retches, seems off, and wants to vomit but cannot
Frequent retching may be from overeating or eating too fast irritating the gut, or a foreign object in the esophagus or stomach. Withhold food, watch, then give probiotics and feed on a schedule; if retching, poor appetite, and lethargy continue, suspect a foreign object, parasites, gastroenteritis, or infection and see a vet.
Why does my dog vomit yellow fluid?
Common causes are long hunger, foreign-object ingestion, parasites, gastroenteritis, or infectious disease. Prolonged hunger causes excess stomach acid without affecting spirits; unsuitable food upsets the gut. Frequent vomiting needs a vet.
What can replace cat grass?
Cat grass helps expel hairballs, and hairball paste works the same way, so it can substitute when cat grass is unavailable. For cats that refuse cat grass, regular hairball paste aids gut movement and hairball passage. Daily brushing also cuts down swallowed fur.
Why does a dog get coccidia infection?
Two routes: 1) playing on grass contacts oocysts that infect the gut and multiply; 2) contact with infected dogs or contaminated food/water. Reduce risk: avoid grass play, deworm regularly.
My cat has soft stools, meows for no reason, and sleeps all day. Is something wrong?
Soft stools in cats have many causes: poor digestion, parasites, or spoiled food. A recent food change can upset the gut, and probiotics plus a gradual transition help. Internal parasites such as tritrichomonas, coccidia, or giardia also cause soft stools and need deworming.
My cat vomited undigested kibble, then yellow fluid with white foam, now only white foam. What should I do?
Vomiting yellow fluid and white foam usually points to a digestive disease with many possible causes, so withhold food and water and see a vet for a confirmed diagnosis. Common causes include hairball gastritis, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, wrong food or poisoning, and panleukopenia.
I bought a cat on the 3rd and brought it home on the 8th; it hasn’t eaten or drunk for two days and is vomiting badly
Not eating or drinking for two days with vomiting may be stress from the move or illness such as infection or digestive issues; newly bought cats have a higher chance of carrying panleukopenia or parasites. Dehydration and gut damage are real risks, so vet care with fluids and anti-vomiting shots is best.
