My dog just arrived home; I do not know its exact age, it will not let me touch it and keeps hiding, and eats little — what should I do?
A dog in a new environment feels scared and hiding is common. Help it adapt without forcing contact: provide a quiet, warm, comfortable space with favorite toys or food for security, and keep food and water available. The dog will gradually trust you.
Please help my kitten — suddenly can’t poop, hiding under the bed, weak, and crying like a chicken every few minutes (no vomiting, no diarrhea)
Based on your description, it is difficult to determine exactly what illness your cat has, so a full veterinary examination should be done as soon as possible. A cat's distress crying is usually a sign of severe pain, so do not keep observing at home as that may delay treatment. If constipation is the cause, offer warm water and fiber-rich food, but the problem could be more serious than simple constipation.
Please help — home for two days, lots of eye discharge, constant tearing, not eating (only occasional water), hiding, won’t let me touch or wipe, sneezing, normally purrs
From the symptoms this is likely a respiratory disease, possibly feline rhinotracheitis. Get a vet exam and targeted treatment. A common cold needs cat cold medicine plus warmth; a viral disease needs antiviral and symptomatic care.
My puppy suddenly foamed at the mouth and had seizures after a nap, and passed a dark brown stool while vomiting; then it kept barking, followed me around, and became listless, hiding in a corner to sleep.
Foaming at the mouth and seizures mainly suggest abnormal nerve activity or nerve damage. Once the seizure subsides, take your dog to a veterinary clinic promptly. If poisoning is the cause, get to the clinic quickly to identify the toxin and begin antidotal treatment, as the symptoms are severe and could be life-threatening without timely care.
My cat was bitten by a dog on the hind leg and belly, now not eating or drinking and hiding. Will it die?
From the photo, the bite is severe; disinfect wounds regularly to avoid infection. Get an X-ray for internal injury. Long refusal of food and water may cause death from dehydration; separate them, keep the cat calm, offer liquid food, and if it won't eat, get IV treatment.
A budgerigar bought two days ago is very lethargic, inactive, tail feathers slightly bobbing. It eats some millet (weaning period); droppings formed but greenish; loves hiding in corners.
Lethargy and inactivity right after arrival are likely from unfamiliar surroundings; provide food and water and let it adjust. Watch for puffing or watery droppings as illness signs.
Fine yesterday, today suddenly lethargic, not eating, vomiting/diarrhea with blood, weak, hiding
Sudden vomiting/diarrhea with blood is likely poisoning or parvo. See a vet. For poisoning: detox, stop bleeding, replenish blood, protect liver/kidney; identify recent toxins. For parvo: monoclonal antibodies, interferon, serum, antibiotics, antiemetics, gut protectants, IV nutrition.
My cat is 7-9 months old, had loose stool two days ago, became lethargic and refused food yesterday, vomited twice last night, and was found hiding in the yard this morning — what could be wrong?
Based on your description, the cat's symptoms of loose stool, lethargy, vomiting, and loss of appetite are mainly considered to be caused by gastroenteritis. You can withhold food for half a day and give the cat anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and gut-regulating medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, bismuth subcarbonate tablets, and pet probiotics. Once the symptoms ease, feed the cat easily digestible food. If there is no improvement after medication, promptly take the cat to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment to rule out any underlying disease.
Today my dog went out to play on its own and came back listless, keeps dry-heaving, and is hiding under the sofa.
A dog that comes home listless, dry-heaving, and hiding under the sofa after going out to play may be extremely uncomfortable - it could have external injuries causing pain, internal injuries from a car accident, or stress and depression from being hit or bullied, all of which are possible. Here are some suggestions: 1. Observe the dog's behavior and symptoms - besides lethargy, dry heaving, and hiding, check whether there is loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc. If these symptoms appear, it has likely picked up a parasite or infectious disease outdoors. 2. Check the dog's body - carefully look for obvious external injuries or other abnormalities such as lumps or pain. 3. That day, provide the dog a quiet and comfortable environment with adequate water and food, and see whether it slowly starts eating and eliminating normally, avoiding excessive activity or over-stimulation. If the dog continues to refuse food and water, keeps dry-heaving, and remains lethargic, it is recommended to contact a veterinarian promptly for further diagnosis and treatment.
My dog was bitten by a Corgi; it’s been three days, and its behavior is abnormal — it startles easily, sleeps then suddenly jumps up spinning and hiding, though eating, drinking, and bathroom habits are normal. It was vaccinated against rabies as a puppy. Could it have rabies?
A dog bitten by a rabid dog has some risk of rabies infection. Based on your description, the abnormal behavior after the bite could be rabies or nerve damage. If bitten by another dog, take it to the vet promptly to properly treat the wound and get the rabies vaccine; for deep wounds also give a tetanus shot to prevent infection.
