How Long Before a Puppy with Enteritis Can Eat?
A puppy with enteritis generally needs to fast for 1-2 days; once vomiting and diarrhea stop, you can start feeding again. Offer easily digestible food such as intestinal prescription diet or soft canned food to avoid worsening the condition.
My hamster urinates frequently, is lethargic, and its bottom and abdomen are wet; what is wrong?
Wet abdomen with frequent urination suggests a urinary disease; diarrhea suggests wet tail. If no vet is available, use smectite and enrofloxacin and check for heatstroke.
Constant stomach gurgling, diarrhea and vomiting of yellow fluid

My dog became suddenly lethargic the second day home and vomited undigested food; it couldn’t stand when put down but could after a while
Vomiting and hind-leg weakness suggest gastroenteritis or an infectious disease. Weakness may be dehydration; fast, then use acid inhibitors and probiotics, and rule out distemper or parvo if unvaccinated.
Why Arowana Get Pinecone Disease (Raised Scales) and How to Treat It
Pinecone disease (also called raised or loose scales) is common in arowana. It can be triggered by large temperature swings, poor water quality, or internal infections such as enteritis and ascites. Mild cases often respond to the 'old three methods' — raise temperature, add salt, and partial water changes — while severe cases need antibiotics.
How to Trim Your Dog’s Nails and How Often

What Causes Stereotypic Behavior in Hamsters?
Stereotypic behavior in hamsters is a neurological and behavioral disorder triggered by factors such as improper diet, sudden changes in surroundings, insufficient exercise and stimulation, psychological or physiological stress, and inbreeding.

Can Chinchillas Be Washed with Water? Why Not?
Chinchillas must never be washed with water — their dense fur traps moisture and they are prone to chilling, stress, and even fatal illness. In the wild they clean themselves by rolling in volcanic ash or sand, so a chinchilla-specific dust bath is the safe, healthy way to keep them clean.
Two-month-old Corgi ate plastic foam in the morning and vomited, stool normal; ate kibble at 6pm, passed yellow fluid at night
Vomiting and diarrhea after eating foam may be gastroenteritis from a foreign object. If little was eaten and it was vomited out, fast the dog and observe while giving probiotics.
Long-term diarrhea; had it twice a month ago, again today, always outside the litter box.
Don't rush to feed; diarrhea is diet or disease. If only diarrhea with normal spirit/appetite, maybe sudden food change or dirty food - fast a day, then Weilike; probiotics help. If other signs, disease like gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, parasites - test and treat; else deworm first.
