My Cat Suddenly Stopped Eating Kibble – It Refused Kibble Yesterday and Cat Treats Today, but Uses the Litter Box Normally
A cat that stops eating but shows no other symptoms may simply be picky, but if it refuses even its favorite foods it could be sick. Many issues can cause a loss of appetite, so keep observing; if it continues not eating and becomes lethargic, take it for a full check-up. Start with probiotic supplements to support gut health and offer cooked chicken breast to tempt its appetite.
My Rabbit Urinates Only Once Every Two Weeks; How Often Should It Urinate? Its Droppings Are Much Smaller and Harder Than Other Rabbits’; Is This a Digestive Problem? Another Rabbit Has Never Urinated Since Birth
How often a rabbit urinates depends on water intake; after drinking it usually urinates within about an hour. Small, dark, hard droppings with low urine output suggest constipation, often from diet or gut issues, though hairballs can also be a cause. For weak digestion, give a digestive enzyme supplement and massage the abdomen, and increase water and vegetable intake.
Last Night I Gave Her a Sausage, Some Pork, and Two Chew Sticks; She Vomited Several Puddles and Is Now Hiding Under the Bed and Won’t Come Out
When a dog vomits, first identify the cause. Overeating or a mixed diet can cause indigestion and vomiting; you can fast the dog for a day, then feed probiotics to aid digestion. For frequent vomiting use an anti-vomiting and anti-inflammatory medication, and avoid giving people food and snacks.
My Dog Vomited Up Ring-Shaped Worms, Won’t Eat or Drink, Has Diarrhea, and Seems Miserable
If the vomiting is caused by a parasitic infection, there are likely many worms left in the digestive tract. You should give your dog an oral dewormer and use probiotics to support the gut. Watch for continued vomiting or new symptoms such as lethargy and appetite loss, which may indicate a combined parvovirus infection.
What happens if a puppy eats hard kibble?
Hard kibble causes indigestion, cramps, vomiting, and constipation in puppies with immature systems. Soften it under 3 months, then transition; use probiotics if upset.
What happens if a dog eats grass?
Eating grass can cause vomiting, belly pain, and poor appetite. A little helps with fiber and gut clearing, but frequent eating signals pica; pesticide-laced grass can poison the dog.
What happens if a dog eats butter?
A little butter is usually fine, but too much causes diarrhea, vomiting, and gut upset. Regularly it leads to obesity and pancreatitis, and lactose-sensitive dogs get diarrhea.
What happens if a dog eats its own feces?
Eating its own poop re-infects the gut with bacteria and parasite eggs, causing serious stomach issues. It may signal a nutrient deficiency (pica) or habit - correct with training and cleanup.
My dog is 6.5 years old. Two nights ago after a normal meal it cried for water at midnight and drank four bowls, then the next day started vomiting, stood unsteadily with its tail tucked, and seemed about to collapse, not eating or drinking for two days. Now it exhales heavily and lies motionless – this has lasted a day and night. What should I do?
If from overeating, use probiotics and an antiemetic; if no improvement, it may be more than gas - see a vet for imaging. Gentle belly rubs help at home.
My cat hasn’t eaten or drunk for two days since I brought it home, and today it vomited yellow fluid. I don’t know if it’s from the vaccine. Please advise.
Vomiting yellow fluid can stem from empty-stomach irritation, parasites, hairballs, or a vaccine reaction. Try small liquid feeds and probiotics; see a vet if it persists to rule out panleukopenia.
