Cat vomits yellow fluid, white foam at mouth, won’t eat or drink, no energy
Yellow vomit, no eating/drinking, and low spirits can come from many serious diseases: gut dysfunction, infectious disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, or hairball-caused acute gastroenteritis; white foam does not rule out poisoning. First do infectious-disease and blood screening at the vet; frequent vomiting causes dehydration, so IV fluids may be needed. If no visit, use anti-vomit and antibacterial meds.
What fruits can’t a Bichon eat?
Bichon must avoid grapes, cherries, grapefruit, plums, avocado. Grapes can cause acute kidney failure and death. Cherries' sodium and potassium burden the kidneys. Avocado is toxic and causes gut upset and breathing trouble. Know their diet taboos to protect health.
Barely eats, only a little meat, drinks water and milk powder; low spirits, diarrhea, heavy hair loss
Poor spirits and appetite with diarrhea may be gastroenteritis, but infectious disease or kidney/liver issues are possible. Take the cat to the vet for checks; if unvaccinated, screen for infection and do blood work for liver/kidney. Simple gastroenteritis needs anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrhea, and gut care.
Bought fish oil; gave some before work, forgot to close it, came back and it ate about 50-60 pills; since last night mild diarrhea, dark stool, a bit sleepy today; any problem?
Dogs must not eat excess fish oil; their digestion and liver are limited, and too much causes acute diarrhea or even gut bleeding, and dark stool suggests digestive bleeding. If spirits are fine after diarrhea, little danger; if diarrhea, sleepiness, and poor appetite continue, vitamin toxicity is possible, so go to the vet at once.
Why is my cat having diarrhea?
Diarrhea usually means a digestive problem from food intolerance, parasites, bacteria, or viruses. Watch frequency and spirits; if good and not frequent, give pet probiotics and kaolin. If frequent with listlessness and no appetite, take it for tests to tell virus, parasite, or bacteria apart; parasite and bacterial enteritis improve in days, viral is worse.
Stool was dry when first home; after some wet food it got a bit loose; does this count as diarrhea?
From the photo, the stool is loose and unformed; if spirits and appetite are good, it may be indigestion from wet food, common in cats with weak guts or new food. First fast and withhold water 6-12 hours and give pet probiotics, then slowly return to the old diet, avoiding sudden changes or new foods. If diarrhea continues, check parasites and gut flora at the vet.
Yesterday the stool was dry with blood at the end; today it’s soft stool, end with blood; what is it?
Soft stool with blood at the end may be food intolerance or indigestion causing hemorrhagic enteritis. Parasites like giardia or coccidia that common dewormers miss are also possible. Some gut bacteria or viruses like coccal enteritis or panleukopenia cause bloody stool. If the cat eats and acts well, try pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, gut-mucosa recovery, and adsorbent anti-diarrhea meds. If no full recovery after gut care and fasting, take it for fecal, blood, and infectious tests.
After deworming the kitten a few days ago, it lost appetite, sleeps a lot, seems dull and lifeless
Poor appetite and sleepiness after deworming may be a drug side effect, or the body fighting heavy parasites, needing rest and usually easing in hours. But lowered immunity, gut irritation, or disease flare-up are possible, so if the side effect lasts over a day or two, seek the vet or take the cat in for a check.
Can a Teddy bear hamster eat this nutrition paste? Are its ingredients harmful?
Hamsters can eat small-animal nutrition paste; the ingredients are not toxic but should not be overfed. It is rich in vitamins and nutrients to fill gaps, but maltose, vegetable oil, and soy protein are hard to digest and may cause soft stool and vomiting if eaten too much.
Found a stray kitten on the road, very small, kept crying, brought it home; next morning diarrhea, dirty wound on the nose, belly very big; is it FIP or another disease?
A stray kitten with diarrhea and a dirty nose may have gut and respiratory issues, but infection is possible. A kitten's belly is usually large, so the big belly may be normal or disease-related. A vet check is needed for a diagnosis; stray kittens have higher disease risk, so a full exam is advised.
