No energy, vomited, won’t eat
Dog vomiting has many causes: gastritis, intestinal blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, viral disease, liver/gallbladder disease. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper or parvovirus. See a vet for tests; if infectious, use antivirals promptly. If just enteritis, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic shots plus a light diet for a few days usually recover.
Late-pregnant cat suddenly scooted on the floor leaving light red; why?
If near the due date, the cat may be about to give birth, as the abdomen and vulva become sensitive and swollen. If not near term, it may be parasites, skin disease, or anal gland inflammation.
My male cat is lethargic, wobbly, yellow diarrhea and urine, rapid abdominal breathing, and stopped eating after a home shave – what is wrong?
These signs suggest acute inflammation such as FIP, especially if unvaccinated. See a vet; if FIP, the drug GS-441 is the first choice.
What happens if a puppy eats cake?
A little cake occasionally is harmless, but its sugar and fat can cause digestive upset and obesity. Some cakes contain toxic ingredients like chocolate or xylitol.
What happens if a dog is malnourished?
Malnutrition makes a dog thin, dull-coated, rough-skinned, and low in immunity, raising disease risk. Growing puppies may develop bowed legs, double rows of teeth, and stunted growth. Long-term deficiency raises the risk of heart, liver, and kidney disease, so feed balanced meals and consult a vet early.
What happens if a Chihuahua eats too much?
Overeating burdens the gut (bloating, vomiting, diarrhea) and causes obesity, raising heart/diabetes/liver/joint risks. Feed adults about 30–60 g twice daily by weight.
Just noticed the belly getting big in the last two days – is it ascites or pregnancy?
A big belly can come from overeating, parasites, gut disease, ascites, or pregnancy, and also tumors, liver, kidney, or heart disease. Watch for other signs; if appetite and energy are normal, still consider illness and get an ultrasound. Ascites brings poor appetite, lethargy, bloating, breathing trouble, weight loss.
What happens if a dog eats too many snacks?
Too many snacks make dogs lose interest in staple food and become picky; their nutrition is one-sided, risking malnutrition. High calories cause obesity and raise diabetes, heart, and joint disease risk. Additives burden the liver and kidneys.
Since yesterday afternoon the chicken has kept its eyes closed, has diarrhea, breathes through its mouth, has a runny nose, and a hot comb
Chicken fever usually comes from a cold or inflammation, and bacterial disease or parasites can also cause it. Treat with fever- and pain-relieving drugs (metamizole or carbasalate calcium). Metamizole has stronger side effects and isn't for severely febrile birds (liver and kidney risk); herbal antipyretics are milder but slower.
After diarrhea and bloody stool, an anti-inflammatory shot, and a day of chicken breast, my dog now isn’t passing stool
Many diseases cause diarrhea/bloody stool (bacterial hemorrhagic enteritis, parasites, infectious enteritis, intestinal foreign body). If symptoms eased after the shot, keep observing for diarrhea or other signs. The gut is fragile now—feed easily digested food (millet porridge, chicken-liver porridge) and pet probiotics. If constipation continues, see a vet.
