What to Do When a Parrot Has Crop Stasis, and Can It Digest on Its Own?
Parrots digest slowly and crop stasis is common; it generally will not resolve on its own—especially in chicks, whose digestion is weaker. Left untreated it causes vomiting and death. Treatment means withholding food and water, giving yeast tablets or dissolved digestive enzymes, keeping the bird warm, and, for severe cases, suctioning the crop with a tube—plus vet care if it does not improve.
Nebelung
The Nebelung is essentially a long-haired Russian Blue, a rare variant recognized by TICA in 1987 and hailed as the 'nobility of long-haired breeds.' Apart from its coat, it is identical to the Russian Blue. Quiet, shy, and gentle, yet intelligent and adaptable, it is well suited to calm households.
My rabbit eats, drinks, and defecates, but its belly is balloon-tight; is this gas? Stool varies in size with occasional pointed ends; a few days now, occasional squat and lying.
A tight belly may be gut stagnation causing gas; tap it, and a 'bong bong' sound means gas, from low fiber and slow movement or toxic feed. Best to see a vet for medication. If not, oral metoclopramide and simethicone aid movement and gas; papaya pills and pineapple juice lubricate; feed small frequent high-fiber meals.
What to do if a cat vomits?
Many causes (overeating, virus, obstruction, pancreatitis); don't medicate blindly. Often indigestion—try probiotics. Hair in the vomit means a hairball—give hairball paste. Frequent vomiting: metoclopramide then a vet.
What Are the Symptoms of Canine Coronavirus?
Canine coronavirus is a fast-spreading intestinal virus that looks a lot like parvovirus. Infected dogs become lethargic and lose their appetite, then develop persistent vomiting and foul-smelling, watery diarrhea that may carry a little blood—often in recurring bouts. Puppies are especially vulnerable, while adult dogs usually recover. There is no specific cure; treatment is supportive (fluids, anti-emetics, gut protectants, and a recovery diet), and prevention through vaccination and good hygiene is the most reliable defense.

The veterinarian will perform various tests to diagnose liver failure and rule out other diseases that may cause similar symptoms.

Your veterinarian may recommend the following tests to rule out other diseases and confirm the diagnosis of liver failure.
