My dog has diarrhea with blood but is still very active; it ate a little sunflower seed shell and vomited it out.
Bloody diarrhea can be gut scraping by a foreign body, parasites, hemorrhagic enteritis, or virus. If active and seed shells were eaten, it may be mild; fast and give probiotics, then meds if no improvement, or see a vet for foul-smelling stool with other signs.
After eating a wet food, my cat ran wildly and vomited undigested food, then frequently foams a little at the mouth and licks its tongue; still bright but eating less. What should I do?
This likely relates to gut discomfort from excess stomach acid, poor motility, or the wet food quality; stop the food, use anti-emetic and probiotics, and see a vet if diarrhea or lethargy follows.
A four-month-old cat suddenly lost appetite and vomits yellow fluid, nine times in two days; ate a pesticide earlier and half an amoxicillin capsule. The pet hospital is closed, the cat’s nose and paw pads are pale. What do I do? Urgent!
Yellow vomit suggests gastroenteritis from diet or, if unvaccinated, possible obstruction or panleukopenia; tests include blood work, SAA, ultrasound, and a panleukopenia test. Pale nose and paws mean anemia and dehydration needing fluids; at home give glucose and anti-emetics.
After eating a bone, my cat vomited several times, keeps opening its mouth with clicking sounds from the right side, seems to have something, poor appetite, less active. What should I do?
A bone stuck with vomiting needs urgent vet X-rays; do not try to remove it yourself. Avoid giving bones, which can block, constipate, or injure the gut and throat.
My two-year-old dog has a small protruding bump on the belly; it used to be a flat flesh lump but recently bulged out and feels soft.
A soft belly bump is usually an umbilical hernia where tissue pushes under the skin; it is painless unless growing large, then surgery may be needed to prevent adhesion.
Why does my rabbit have diarrhea? I didn’t feed it anything unusual, then found its rear yellow and looking like diarrhea but I don’t know.
Rabbit diarrhea can come from improper diet, chills, gut infection or parasites, or stress from changes. Have a vet examine and treat based on the cause, and keep the environment clean.
Noticed about three or four days ago; at first vomited food, today found it vomiting water.
Cat vomiting has many causes; if mild, fast and observe, then give probiotics and anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic medication. Persistent vomiting with other signs suggests panleukopenia or other disease needing a vet.
My cat has been vomiting for a while and barely eats these past two days; just vomiting with no other symptoms.
Cat vomiting has many causes; mild cases need fasting, probiotics, and medication, while persistent vomiting with other signs suggests panleukopenia or organ disease needing a vet.
Cat had reduced appetite for two days, refused food and water on the third, started vomiting the day before yesterday, threw up roundworms yesterday, then yellow fluid at night; gave dewormer today but no improvement.
Vomiting roundworms means heavy parasites have damaged the gut and cause yellow vomiting; after deworming, support the gut. Fast, give fluids if possible, and use anti-emetic and probiotic care.
My cat suddenly refuses dry food but ate cooked chicken breast I offered; still won’t eat the kibble.
Refusing kibble may be pickiness from too many treats, spoiled food, or a sudden diet change. Illness can also be the cause if vomiting or other signs appear, so see a vet.
