A yellow tongue can come from pigmented food like carrots, poor oral hygiene, or liver, anemia, bile or digestive disease. Clean the mouth and see a vet if it persists.
What Happens If a Dog Eats Too Much Oil?
Too much oil causes indigestion with diarrhea, vomiting, and pain, and long-term excess can trigger pancreatitis. Oil is high-calorie, so weight gain raises heart, joint, and diabetes risks, and overloads the liver, showing as jaundice and appetite loss. Control fat and feed a balanced diet.
What Are the Symptoms of a Stroke in Dogs?

What causes high urea in dogs?
High urea in dogs may come from excess protein intake, kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or other disease. Too much protein raises urea synthesis; kidney disease like nephritis causes buildup; dehydration from illness, heat, or exercise concentrates urine. Liver, cardiovascular, and lung diseases can also affect urea.
My dog has been lethargic and has no appetite for the past two weeks, vomits white foam, and anti-vomiting medicine didn’t help; I also found a hard lump on one nipple and two or three small hard lumps next to another nipple.
Vomiting foam and loss of appetite can signal serious illness such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or viral infection, not just a minor upset. Combined with nipple lumps, mammary tumor or breast cancer cannot be ruled out and needs veterinary assessment. Do not medicate at home; seek professional diagnosis and treatment.
What color is a dog’s normal urine?

Siberian
The Siberian Forest Cat, shortened to Siberian Cat, has the earliest written records from the 11th century: it was a very common cat in Russian markets and Siberian villages. Living in a harsh country, it is covered in long fur with a thick ruff around the neck. Its outer guard hairs are hard, smooth, and oily, and its dense undercoat resists the Siberian cold.
Somali
The Somali cat looks much like the Abyssinian—slender, slightly rounded, with big V-shaped ears and almond eyes—but with a semi-long, soft, dense coat. Developed in the US and Canada from a spontaneous long-haired mutation of the Abyssinian, the Somali is intelligent, gentle, playful, and water-loving, though its abundant coat needs regular grooming.
Birman
The Birman, also called the sacred cat of Burma, is a medium-sized cat with the Latin name Birman. Although now distributed worldwide, legend says they once lived only in Myanmar and were kept by temple monks; because they guarded the hall, they are considered temple guardian cats.
