Dogs must not eat chili. It irritates the mouth (crying, pacing, gulping water) and the gut — excess acid, cramps, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting — and in severe cases needs a vet. The irritant can also inflame the anal skin, making defecation painful and the area red and swollen.
My hamster had diarrhea, then stopped eating and drinking, and now isn’t defecating — what should I do?
