My one-month-old kitten had normal stool, then soft stool, and now diarrhea with blood – what should I do?
Bloody diarrhea in a kitten may be hemorrhagic enteritis or a virus such as panleukopenia. Have a vet rule out distemper, then use appropriate medication and a hypoallergenic diet.
My hamster looks weak and has crusty stuff around one eye – what should I do?

Please help, my cat started vomiting after a B-ultrasound at the hospital the day before yesterday
Vomiting yellow fluid and white foam is usually gastritis from irregular/oily diet or hard-to-digest food; blockage, pancreatitis, enteritis, or panleukopenia also possible. If unvaccinated, screen for viruses; if energy is good, fast and give pet anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory meds, but see a vet if vomiting persists.
Since this morning, vomiting white mucus, especially right after waking from sleep
White mucus vomit is usually stomach acid from acute gastritis. Watch its energy; if poor or other signs appear, see a vet. If normal, feed small frequent easily digestible meals and probiotics; if no improvement, see a vet.

Poor digestion can cause soft stool, diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, belly pain, low appetite, and bad breath; long term it hurts nutrient absorption, lowering weight, activity, and immunity. Pet probiotics or a gut prescription diet help.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid, not eating, and not defecating

How can I regulate my dog’s digestive system?
Ways to regulate a dog's gut include: pick a low-allergen, easily digestible prescription gastrointestinal diet suited to the dog's age, weight, and health, and feed on a fixed schedule. Add a suitable amount of pet probiotics to balance gut flora and aid recovery. Keep the diet simple - avoid greasy, spicy, or irritating foods - and keep food fresh with plenty of water, cleaning bowls regularly to reduce bacterial infection.
How can I get my dog to eat only dog food?
To build good eating habits: choose a palatable, easily digestible kibble and feed at fixed times and amounts so the dog learns to eat on schedule. Avoid too many treats or table scraps that encourage pickiness. If the dog refuses kibble, mix it with favorite foods and gradually increase the kibble ratio until fully switched. More daily exercise also boosts appetite.
My dog has had chronic pancreatitis for a year and is on prescription food, but now refuses kibble; the vet suggested cooked homemade food—is my recipe ratio okay, is protein too high, should I adjust?
Consult a pet nutritionist for the recipe. Chronic pancreatitis is fat-driven, so feed low-fat foods (chicken breast, fish) in small frequent meals, no seasonings, varied diet.
My dog has had diarrhea since yesterday.
Diarrhea alone is hard to diagnose; if spirits and appetite are good, it's likely diet or parasites. Fast briefly, give probiotics, and see a vet if no improvement or other signs appear.
