Blood in urine, loss of appetite, only drinking water
A cat with blood in the urine that won't eat and only drinks water usually signals a serious health problem and needs immediate veterinary care. Blood in the urine can be caused by many issues such as a urinary tract infection, stones, kidney disease, liver disease, or food poisoning, and the specific cause should be confirmed through urinalysis, blood tests, imaging, and urethrography before targeted treatment is given. During treatment, nutritional support through a feeding tube or intravenous fluids may be needed to meet the cat's basic physiological needs.
My cat used to use the litter box, but now it doesn’t, and its urine is very yellow, almost like oil.
Very yellow urine may be from low water intake or illness. Increase water and watch appetite; if it persists with poor appetite or lethargy, it could be liver disease or jaundice—see a vet.
Since getting four shots on the 16th, my cat went from vomiting a few times a week while still eating, to vomiting over ten times a day. Yesterday she cried out in pain when touched, probably aching all over. She was in heat the day of the shots and hasn’t eaten since, now throwing up yellow fluid. What’s wrong?
Vomiting with pain in a cat points to digestive or liver disease, and blind medication can make it worse. The worsening vomiting risks collapse, so a vet exam is urgent to find and treat the cause.
Why does a dog get hepatic ascites?
Hepatic ascites can come from low protein, liver disease, heart disease, or peritonitis; cirrhosis or liver tumor may cause ascites, as can drug-induced liver damage. Determine the cause via tests or ultrasound, then treat.
My cat vomits no matter how much food I give; how to treat?
Frequent vomiting may be hairballs, gastritis/ulcer, parasites, pancreatitis, kidney/liver disease, blockage, or food. Try a hypoallergenic diet and probiotics; hairball paste if fur in vomit; deworm; see a vet if with diarrhea or lethargy.
My cat vomits yellow fluid, is lethargic, and parvo test is negative
Yellow vomit and lethargy can be gastritis, pancreatitis, liver disease, virus, parasites, or poisoning; one parvo line is negative, but the case is serious, so see a vet. If no clinic, try cimetidine and gut-mucosa repair meds when vomiting eases.
My cat vomits undigested kibble, eats only canned food and drinks, is lethargic and sits in a loaf – why?
Those signs may mean gastroenteritis, FIP, panleukopenia, liver disease or hairballs; causes differ, so see a vet early. FIP and panleukopenia are dangerous, so act fast.
My cat has reduced appetite, sits in a loaf position and occasionally vomits – what’s wrong?
The loaf position usually means abdominal pain from gastritis, FIP, liver disease or hairballs. See a vet to find the cause; dehydration and refusal to eat need fluids.
What causes ascites (abdominal fluid) in dogs?
Ascites usually follows other diseases: heart failure raises portal pressure; liver disease (cirrhosis, hepatitis) also causes it. Liver-related ascites shows poor appetite, fatigue, and weight loss.
What are the symptoms of subcutaneous edema in dogs?
Subcutaneous edema is fluid buildup under the skin forming a thick, elastic, painless lump. Common causes are trauma and allergy (food, drugs, parasites); thyroid or liver disease can also cause it.
