Senior unneutered dog, good spirits and appetite, but frequent urination about every half hour, large volume, often on the bed; ultrasound shows no reproductive inflammation, blood tests normal except mild heart failure
Increased urination in senior dogs is common; aging affects urinary and gut function, needing more water to excrete waste, and temperature changes alter intake. If drinking and urinating rise with weight loss, suspect diabetes and check glucose and urine sugar with low-sugar diet. Painful urination or genital licking suggests cystitis or urethritis; congenital or metabolic diseases like diabetes, kidney disease or Cushing's also cause it.
My dog suddenly vomited yesterday, with drooling, no appetite and low energy.
Vomiting with low energy in dogs has many causes, including gastritis, pancreatitis, intestinal parasites or viral infection. Take the dog to a vet for diagnosis, and withhold food and water briefly if needed.
A four-month-old cat suddenly lost appetite and vomits yellow fluid, nine times in two days; ate a pesticide earlier and half an amoxicillin capsule. The pet hospital is closed, the cat’s nose and paw pads are pale. What do I do? Urgent!
Yellow vomit suggests gastroenteritis from diet or, if unvaccinated, possible obstruction or panleukopenia; tests include blood work, SAA, ultrasound, and a panleukopenia test. Pale nose and paws mean anemia and dehydration needing fluids; at home give glucose and anti-emetics.
My pet rabbit started having diarrhea last night and seemed off; I gave a little norfloxacin and it got worse. What should I do?

How should I feed and care for a pet pig?
Pet pigs like dry environments, so keep the room dry and ventilated at 18-29C. In autumn, give a warm bed to avoid chills; in winter, clothing helps. Feed 3-4 times daily in small portions to avoid obesity; they rarely fuss and eat almost anything, but avoid high-calorie foods.
What if a pet cat is not fed cat food?
No cat food easily causes malnutrition, low immunity, thinness, anemia. Human food burdens kidneys and may cause renal failure. Feed balanced low-salt food like boiled meats and some vegetables.
Can pet cats eat rice?
