What happens if a cat doesn’t expel its hairballs?
Cats swallow fur while grooming, forming hairballs. If not vomited or passed, they grow in the gut and block it, causing vomiting, low appetite, constipation, belly pain. Severe blockage can press organs, affecting gut/liver/kidneys, even organ failure. Plant cat grass or give hairball paste regularly.
Why does my dog fart so often?
Causes include high protein (ferments into gas), eating too fast (swallowed air), and indigestion, flora imbalance, or gastroenteritis.
What are the early symptoms of sepsis in dogs?
Early signs: fever, bleeding spots, rash, rapid breathing, gut symptoms. Treat with culture-guided antibiotics plus fluids and nutrition. See a vet promptly.
Amoxicillin and smectite didn’t help my cat’s diarrhea
Long diarrhea risks metabolic upset, malnutrition, and dehydration. Causes include diet, parasites, gut flora imbalance, gastroenteritis, or other disease. Check the diet first; if that's not it, see a vet to confirm the cause and treat properly.
At about 15 days old its size hasn’t changed, and its droppings are small pale-yellow dots.
From the photo, the kitten likely has indigestion, passing undigested stool. Under-one-month kittens need small, frequent feeds—their guts are fragile and overeating causes indigestion. They need food every ~2 hours; too little nutrition means poor growth and malnutrition.
It had diarrhea after eating. For two days I fed chicken breast and broccoli and no diarrhea, then went back to kibble and it had diarrhea again, with gas then a sudden rush.
Diarrhea on kibble may mean it hasn't adjusted to the new food or is allergic to an ingredient. Mix a little kibble into the old food and raise the ratio slowly; switch brands if it persists, using single-protein grain-free hypoallergenic food and probiotics.
My 3.5-year-old Pomeranian swallowed a glass marble at 10:30 this morning and has no reaction yet—any way to pass it?
After swallowing a glass marble, try a gentle lubricant or lactulose to ease passage and boost motility; also feed fiber (pumpkin, cabbage, sweet potato). Watch 2–3 days; if it passes, then support gut recovery. If constipated or can't pass it, consider surgery.
It first threw up undigested food once, then kept foaming at the mouth and has vomited six or seven times.
Foaming vomit is likely from overeating and indigestion. Fast it for a while and give pet probiotics to ease the gut. Watch for improvement; if vomiting continues or other signs like lethargy appear, see a vet for targeted treatment.
My kitten has large-scale hair loss; a small clinic said ringworm and gave cream, but now it won’t eat, lies in the bathroom, moves slowly, is listless with dull eyes—is it from licking the medicine?
Ringworm treatment uses antifungals (terbinafine, compound ketoconazole, itraconazole) that irritate gut and liver/kidneys; licking causes lethargy, vomiting, appetite loss. See a vet to reduce organ damage; use an E-collar during treatment.
My dog vomited white with food at first, tonight it looks like bloody water, low energy
A bloated belly, vomiting, and lethargy can come from indigestion, blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, or parvovirus. Fast for 12 hours and give probiotics; if vomiting continues or other symptoms appear, see a vet to find the cause.
