Kitten has poor appetite, vomiting, and constipation – why?
Poor appetite can signal digestive, oral, kidney, or endocrine disease; vomiting and constipation point to gut issues like indigestion, blockage, hairballs, or FIP. Feed fiber; see a vet if it persists.
My puppy is foaming at the mouth and its belly is very bloated
Foaming and a bloated belly may come from poisoning, internal parasites, gut blockage, or a viral infection - all serious. Take the puppy to a vet promptly; X-rays and abdominal ultrasound may be needed to find the cause. If gastric torsion, intussusception, or acute gastric dilation is present, surgery may be required.
Kitten recently eats very little and stools are very dry
The image is blurry, but poor appetite with dry stools may be hairballs, constipation, blockage, or a single diet, and can be an early sign of disease. Try cat grass and hairball paste first.
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.
What happens if a dog eats a cat?
Possible: house dogs used to a single diet may get digestive upset (diarrhea, vomiting, bloating) from suddenly eating cat meat. Swallowing hair, bones, indigestible parts can cause gut blockage needing emergency surgery. Cats may carry parasites (roundworm, tapeworm, fleas, toxoplasma); the dog risks infection.
Dog vomited half-digested food, then white foam, now clear water with foam
Vomiting undigested food then foam suggests fast eating, overeating, or foreign objects; fast and give probiotics. If it persists, seek a vet for deeper causes.
Wants to defecate but can’t; now there’s anal bleeding, watery blood — will hairball paste help?
A dog that ate hair may get a gut blockage; promote bowel movement to pass it — feed fiber-rich food or pet hairball paste. Small amounts usually pass on their own; if paste doesn't work, surgery may be needed to remove it.
A stray tortoiseshell mother cat—unknown when she got pregnant, belly has been huge for at least four months but no signs of labor. What should I do?
A cat's pregnancy is only about 2 months (65-69 days for purebreds). Four months without delivery is abnormal and may indicate ascites (FIP, cardiac, or liver), digestive issues (constipation or blockage), obesity, an abdominal tumor (common in senior cats), or hypoalbuminemia. See a vet to determine the cause.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid, listless, and has no appetite.
Yellow vomit has many causes, including gastritis, blockage, indigestion, pancreatitis, nephritis, liver or gallbladder disease, and poisoning. Get an abdominal ultrasound, blood, and fecal tests. If a vet is inconvenient, fast 6 to 8 hours; if vomiting stops, give amoxicillin-clavulanate and cimetidine plus probiotics. Give glucose electrolyte water during fasting to prevent dehydration.
Dog vomits everything, even water; what medicine
When vomiting everything including water, oral drugs don't work; go to the vet for injections. Even if it took medicine it would vomit, irritating the gut more. First find the cause (blockage, gastritis, pancreatitis, virus) then treat by IV/injection.
