How do I fix my Bichon’s bad breath?
Breath from long-term no brushing can be eased by brushing and rinsing. If tartar has formed, the Bichon needs a professional dental cleaning. Bad breath can also come from vitamin deficiency or gut issues, so find the cause first. For vitamin deficiency, supplement vitamins; for gut problems, regulate the digestion.
Two-month-old Devon Rex caught a chill, had soft stool, then stopped eating and vomited yellow fluid
The kitten likely caught a chill, causing gut motility disorder and diarrhea. Keep it warm, give probiotics and warm water, and see a vet if no improvement.
What causes bad breath in cats?
Feline bad breath can be caused by improper diet, oral disease, or gut problems. Strong-smelling food, gum or periodontal disease, and indigestion or constipation can all cause it. Find the cause and treat accordingly.
What is the best treatment for a dog’s smelly mouth?
Bad breath can be oral disease, gut issues, or a sign of other illness. Long gaps in brushing cause plaque and tartar needing a dental cleaning. Gut causes need diet and probiotics; liver or other disease also possible. Persistent odor needs a full check.
Symptoms for 2-3 days: not eating, just lying down, tail not wagging
A dog that cannot stand and will not eat is sick - gut disease, heart disease, joint or nerve disease can all cause this, but the exact cause cannot be judged from symptoms alone. See a vet for the right treatment. The dog's state is poor; long fasting weakens it and, without treatment, can be life-threatening.
Why is my dog vomiting and passing bloody stool?
Dog vomiting with bloody stool can have various causes, including intestinal obstruction, gastroenteritis, poisoning, parasite infection, distemper, and parvovirus. Treatment differs by cause. Withhold food and water and take the dog to a vet promptly.
My dog has belly pain, won’t eat, drinks water, body often trembles, can’t stand long, lethargic, and has cried from pain.
Belly pain, not eating, and vomiting can come from food poisoning, gut upset, liver/kidney disease, viral infection, or internal parasites. The dog is weak and delaying care is life-threatening, so take it to a vet promptly and treat by the findings.
My dog keeps dry-coughing and gagging, especially at night, with bright red bloody stool, abdominal twitching, and looking at its rear – what’s wrong?
Dry cough, gagging, and bloody stool may be from parasite infection; ascites, parvovirus, or coronavirus cannot be ruled out. Symptoms are already serious - see a vet to confirm the cause. If internal parasites are found, deworm promptly and give gut-lining repair medicine to ease signs.
My cat vomited and then would not eat or drink, breathes rapidly, and lies with its eyes open; it got an anti-vomit shot around 8:30 last night, first vomited a hairball, then yellow fluid
Based on your description, this is judged to be hairball syndrome. Excess hairballs cause vomiting of hairballs and irritate the gut to vomit yellow fluid. Give hairball paste, plus anti-inflammatory, anti-vomit, and acid-suppressant medication. If no improvement, see a vet.
My 2-month-old puppy was dewormed a few days ago, came home yesterday, and now has live white worms at the anus that keep returning – what should I do?
White worms from the anus mean a heavy internal parasite load; passing live worms after deworming is normal as the drug flushes them out. Generally do a second deworming within a week and give gut-lining protectants. Keep the area clean and watch for other signs.
