Vomiting two or three times a month, sometimes hairballs, sometimes kibble or yellow fluid with white foam; eats but never gains weight
There are many causes of vomiting in cats, including indigestion, hairballs, parasite infection, and others. Based on your description, these are the main considerations. When too much hair builds up in a cat, it usually vomits hairballs; the owner can regularly give hairball paste or cat grass to help the cat pass the hair. In addition, a cat vomiting kibble may be from eating too fast or indigestion, so feed on a fixed schedule and control the eating speed. Furthermore, since the cat never gains weight no matter how much it eats, also consider whether it has a parasite infection; regular deworming is recommended.
My dog has had chronic pancreatitis for a year and is on prescription food, but now refuses kibble; the vet suggested cooked homemade food—is my recipe ratio okay, is protein too high, should I adjust?
Consult a pet nutritionist for the recipe. Chronic pancreatitis is fat-driven, so feed low-fat foods (chicken breast, fish) in small frequent meals, no seasonings, varied diet.
It took medicine and got a shot, the coughing eased, but today its energy is low, it won’t eat kibble, and it keeps making sneezing sounds
A puppy's cough is usually caused by a respiratory infection, with main causes including chills, viral infection, bacterial infection, and insufficient immunity. If the cough improves but the puppy then shows reduced appetite and sneezing, it means the illness isn't fully recovered; keep the dog warm first, then take it to a veterinary clinic for a recheck promptly. In addition, because a puppy's immunity is weak and it usually isn't fully vaccinated before two months, it is recommended to focus on screening for viral infectious diseases such as distemper and canine parainfluenza.
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 dog has vomited for three days, yellow fluid on days one and three and undigested kibble on day two. The vet said it looked fine and sent us home with medicine; day one of meds no vomit, but today (day two) it threw up kibble again. It has appetite, good spirits, normal stools, wet nose, no fever. What could it be?
Vomiting yellow fluid and undigested food suggests dietary upset or gastroenteritis; feed soaked hypoallergenic kibble in small frequent meals and nothing else. If it continues, get fecal, blood, and imaging tests.
While eating, my dog keeps rubbing its nose on the floor; it’s a bit better with kibble but worse with other food. This started abruptly in the last month or so.
Rubbing the nose while eating may be reacting to an irritating smell, a sensitive nose, or nasal inflammation. If frequent or with other signs, see a vet for targeted treatment.
My cat ate a lot of kibble in the day, plus treat paste, freeze-dried food, and goat-milk powder, then vomited twice in the evening with food bits — is vomiting twice normal? Second photo is the second vomit.
A cat vomiting twice with food residue after overeating is usually a sign of indigestion; it is best to stop feeding and give some pet-specific probiotics to regulate the gut. If there is no further vomiting afterward, it is normal and you don't need to worry too much. However, if the cat keeps vomiting, it may have triggered acute gastroenteritis and needs prompt veterinary care. A kitten's digestive system is not yet fully developed and its digestive capacity is limited, so control the feeding amount normally and avoid too many types of food at once to reduce the digestive burden.
What happens if a dog eats moist or moldy kibble?
Feeding a dog damp kibble can disrupt gut bacteria and cause diarrhea or vomiting. It may also spoil in quality and hurt the dog's appetite and dental health.
Dog vomits white foam and yellow fluid with undigested kibble, won’t eat or drink, only sleeps
This is usually acute gastroenteritis, possibly from parvovirus, coronavirus, bacteria, or parasites. Unvaccinated dogs should be tested for viral disease. If just digestive upset, give fluids for hydration and electrolytes, then anti-inflammatory, anti-vomiting, and anti-diarrhea meds.
My cat’s belly grew large within a week, it keeps getting thinner, the abdomen feels firm not fluid-filled, still active but defecating less, occasionally loafs, no fever, clear eyes, eats less kibble but still wants human food. Is it FIP, ascites, or indigestion?
A swollen belly with overall weight loss can come from an intestinal blockage, gas, or ascites. Blockage and gas cause hard abdomen and reduced stool, while ascites may indicate FIP or low-protein liver effusion - only a vet exam can tell for sure.
