Third Pup Is a Stillborn and a Fourth Remains; Half a Day Plus a Night Later, Can It Survive?

Can Turtles Get Constipated? Why and How to Fix It
Turtles do get constipated, usually from low fiber, swallowed objects, too little exercise, or a poor environment. Fixes range from edible oil or mild laxatives and enemas to probiotics, with vet care for severe cases that become obstruction. This article explains the causes and treatments.
What to Do When a Turtle Has Diarrhea
Normal turtle poop is firm and dark; diarrhea is watery, formless, and may be green. Stop feeding first, keep temperature steady, and observe.

What Are the Symptoms of a Perianal Tumor in Dogs?
Perianal tumors show as unexplained lumps near the anus causing discomfort, pain and infection with swelling. A vet decides on surgery; 95% of perianal adenomas recede after neutering.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.
My cat suddenly lost energy, then vomited, and keeps vomiting blood.
Sudden lethargy and vomiting blood suggest gastric mucosal bleeding (foreign object, ulcer, acute bleeding); if free-roaming, consider toxin like rat poison causing bleeding, lethargy, convulsions. Get to a vet for infectious and blood tests, possibly endoscopy; give anti-emetic, hemostatic, and fluids meanwhile.
My dog was hit by family two days ago for misbehaving; today I found bruises from belly to hind legs, thumb-wide on the belly and a large patch on the leg. Eating and drinking are fine.
Check the beaten areas and the dog's state; if no bone/internal injury, appetite stays good; give oral antibiotics to prevent infection, cold compress 30 min the first day, then warm compresses 2-3 days to disperse bruises. If abdomen/head was hit, watch for internal damage and get an ultrasound/CT. Never use violence.
My dog developed a red ring around its mouth 24 hours after topical deworming and sometimes scratches it with its paw.
A red ring around the mouth after topical deworming is likely an allergic reaction. A vet can give a desensitizing shot and switch to a lower-toxicity product; dose by weight to avoid overdose and poisoning.
