My 5-year-old, 3 kg male Poodle played outside three days ago and now has ongoing vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite, and a temperature of 42°C—what medication should be prescribed?
Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, no appetite, with outdoor exposure—consider infectious disease like parvovirus. If not fully vaccinated, high risk. Get virus screening; if parvovirus, treat. If vaccinated, likely gastroenteritis. Still need exam to confirm.
My cat has drooling, runny nose, tearing, poor appetite, won’t drink, and frequent continuous sneezing
A cat cold can be treated with pet cold and anti-inflammatory drugs (amox-clav, doxycycline, Shuanghuanglian); never human meds (they cause poisoning). Keep warm, give warm water and protein/vitamins; if no improvement in 2-3 days or eyes/nose turn mucopurulent or fever, it may be rhinotracheitis/mycoplasma - see a vet.
After medication the cat still won’t eat or drink; two days on amoxicillin and omeprazole, then vomited yellow fluid once
Vomiting hairballs and yellow fluid is typical of hairball syndrome; try hairball paste to lubricate the gut and pass the ball. Also give an anti-emetic like cimetidine to aid repair and curb acid and vomiting. If no relief or low spirits, fever, etc., see a vet to rule out other causes.
