Recently vomited, did not finish the cat food, vomits white and yellow foam, blood in urine, and urinates more. What is wrong?
Blood in urine with vomiting suggests urinary disease such as cystitis or stones causing acute kidney failure, a critical condition needing urgent vet care. Tests include blood work, biochemistry, and ultrasound, possibly with catheterization.
A one-month-old Pekingese, home four or five days, urinates a lot but won’t defecate; gave enema at night, then next day listless, poor eating/drinking, just lies in the cage.
No defecation may be constipation or lack of intake; probiotics and soft food help. Lethargy could signal infectious disease, so watch for other signs and avoid home enemas; see a vet.
My cat vomited frequently this morning, with pink-tinged white foam, then brought up a large ball of steel wool. Is there a problem?
After a cat eats a foreign object like steel wool, a vet check is needed to confirm nothing remains and to test inflammation. Residual material can cause lethargy, vomiting, fever, and abnormal stools, and may require surgery.
The rabbit was fine sleeping, then had diarrhea in the middle of the night.

My cat has had gastroenteritis for days with fluids and injections, but today vomited green liquid and had bloody loose stool. What should I do?

What if a pudding hamster is too fat and is starved for a day?
Do not starve a fat pudding hamster to lose weight; it harms the gut and causes vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, and shorter life. Instead cut daily food to 80%, avoid fatty foods like mealworms and sunflower seeds, then to 60 to 70% after adjustment. Use a bigger cage or out-of-cage time for exercise.
My 4-month-old cat hasn’t eaten or drunk since its rabies vaccine a week ago
Refusing food and water can result from pickiness, indigestion, stress, or illness. After vaccination, reduced appetite and sleepiness are common reactions; keep the cat warm and in a quiet space and offer high-protein, nutritious food. If it also seems unwell, rule out panleukopenia, digestive disease, or FIP.
