Cat hasn’t eaten since coming home and keeps vomiting, but no diarrhea
Not eating and ongoing vomiting after coming home may be a stress reaction. Give probiotics and B-complex to counter stress and aid digestion. If unvaccinated, also consider viral infection. If vomiting continues or spirits drop, see a vet for targeted care.
Dog ate a lot of greasy food yesterday; since last night diarrhea, this morning vomiting and diarrhea, no interest in food
Before the vomiting, diarrhea, and refusal to eat, the dog ate much greasy food, so this is mainly indigestion causing gut flora imbalance or gastroenteritis. First fast half a day and give pet probiotics; after relief, offer easy food. If no improvement, suspect gastroenteritis and give pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrhea meds.
Hamster’s anus is red, constipated, and it hasn’t urinated for two days
Two days without urine suggests a urinary issue, but you also report red anus and constipation (a digestive issue), so the mixed info makes a clear answer hard. For the red, swollen anus possibly from constipation: stop high-protein food, give warm water, probiotics, and lactase to aid the gut. Constipation signs include a slightly swollen belly, red perianal area, hard dry stool; causes are low water, dry food, little exercise — find the cause before treating.
My cat is in good spirits but has diarrhea
Diarrhea needs a clear cause for targeted care. Low odds of panleukopenia given good spirits; internal parasites (roundworm, coccidia, tapeworm, hookworm, giardia) need dewormer; indigestion or gut disorder may become gastroenteritis — fast a day, give probiotics, anti-diarrhea, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Overeating, cold, or chilling also cause diarrhea; avoid excess food and keep warm.
My cat keeps vomiting yellow fluid and sits in a crouch; started today, vomited four or five times; want to watch before the vet — what is it?
Yellow vomit has many causes: poor feeding, belly chill, hairballs, parasites, viral/bacterial infection, organ issues. If spirits are okay after vomiting, fast and give mild fluids like diluted glucose; if anorexia, fever, or diarrhea appear, see a vet.
Is it normal for a dog to vomit after external deworming? The vomit is yellow with foam.
One or two mild vomits is usually fine (the drug expels worms). But licking the drug or overdose can enter blood and poison it, causing violent vomiting and liver/kidney harm—see a vet.
How is it to feed fish to a dog?
Fish gives protein and minerals; deep-sea fish have unsaturated fatty acids that help the coat. Remove bones first to avoid choking or gut injury. Some dogs are allergic to seafood, so try a small amount first. Keep dog food as the staple and don't feed fish too often to avoid pickiness.
What Happens If I Feed a Teddy (Poodle) Whole Milk?
A Poodle drinking whole milk may show lactose intolerance—diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite—because it lacks lactase. Prolonged diarrhea can cause dangerous dehydration, so lactose-free milk, goat's milk, or pet formula is recommended instead.
At first the dog had scabs on its body; after feeding dexamethasone it has had diarrhea and won’t eat for five days
Diarrhea after dexamethasone may be flora imbalance, more likely in gut-sensitive dogs. Dexamethasone is a steroid anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, anti-proliferative) but shouldn't be used long or stopped suddenly - taper the dose. Take it to a vet for a gut check; if mild, probiotics plus diet adjustment can recover.
Can a dog’s bone stuck in its teeth heal on its own?
A bone stuck in teeth may heal, but first remove it and rinse with saline; for heavy bleeding press to stop it, then use a daily oral antibacterial spray. Avoid giving bones, especially chicken/duck, which splinter and can cut mouth/gut or block intestines, sometimes needing surgery.
