My kitten vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
Why is my cat vomiting and grinding its teeth?
Vomiting and teeth grinding may come from gut blockage by a foreign object, which can obstruct the intestines if not removed; check vomit for plastic, paper, peels, or hair. Intestinal edema or chronic kidney failure can also cause it; persistent cases need a vet.
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.
My dog keeps vomiting and has no energy—what should I do?
Persistent vomiting and lethargy may be acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, poisoning, hepatitis, or viral disease—see a vet promptly. Before visiting, withhold food to avoid worsening; to prevent dehydration/acid-base imbalance, give sugar-salt water after fasting. If no toxin and no further vomiting, try small-dose pet anti-inflammatory and antiemetic, observe, then feed liquid food.
My cat ran out a few days ago and came back today, but as soon as it returned it kept foaming at the mouth and vomited for almost two hours, then threw up something unidentifiable, and after that started foaming again. What should I do?
Frequent vomiting in cats can be caused by many things, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, liver disease, kidney disease, intestinal obstruction or infectious disease, and food or drug poisoning. Based on your description, the cat vomited continuously after coming home from outside, so it may have accidentally eaten a poison outdoors causing toxicity, or it may have eaten unclean food leading to gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal blockage, or contracted an infectious disease causing frequent vomiting. If the cat vomits whatever it eats, it is recommended to withhold food and water promptly to avoid burdening the digestive tract, and take it to a veterinary hospital for examination as soon as possible. The veterinarian will give a corresponding treatment plan based on symptoms and test results; giving medication at home may worsen the condition. Also, keep the cat in a clean environment and prevent it from contacting harmful substances.
What is a lump in a rabbit’s urethra?
A urethral lump means a mass in the lower urinary tract, related to overgrowth of the urethral lining, excess granulation tissue, abscess, or tumor-like lesions, and easily causes obstruction. Symptoms include straining to urinate, reduced or no urine, dribbling, or incontinence. See a vet promptly if these appear.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid and won’t eat
Vomiting yellow fluid and not eating can be from infectious disease, foreign-body obstruction, hairballs, parasites, or acute gastroenteritis. First rule out infectious disease and do blood work at a vet, then treat the cause. Withhold food half a day to a day and watch; frequent vomiting risks dehydration — give fluids and an anti-vomiting injection. Self-medicating may worsen it; a vet visit is best.
My dog was excited before eating, then lethargic after, lies still, eats only a little meat, passed soft stool with faint blood, then whines, sits restlessly, and keeps pawing at its face
Based on the signs, the dog likely has an esophageal or gastrointestinal blockage from eating too fast or hard food like bones, causing throat pain and restlessness (hence pawing the face). If choking, use the Heimlich maneuver; it may also be allergy or acute gastritis, or parasites/parvovirus. See a vet for a full check.
A Young Cat Has Had Diarrhea for Over Two Days, Now the Lower Belly Is Flat and Soft, the Hind Legs Barely Move, the Limbs Are Weak, It Keeps Sleeping and Eats Nothing
Based on your description, repeated diarrhea, refusal to eat or drink, and limb weakness over two days are signs of dehydration from disease. Repeated diarrhea and prolonged fasting cause electrolyte loss and imbalance, and without prompt care the condition can be fatal.
Cat Frequent Urination with Small Volume: Causes and Medication
Frequent, small-volume urination in cats is usually a urinary-tract problem — urethritis, cystitis or urolithiasis. Start with a diuretic and a pet-safe anti-inflammatory to ease pain and infection, encourage water intake, and if there is no improvement see a vet to rule out stones blocking the urethra.
