Cat Vomiting Yellow Fluid Several Times a Day: What to Do
Vomiting yellow fluid multiple times a day is not normal and can stem from parasites, infection, empty-stomach acid, gut disease or something eaten. Hair in the vomit points to a hairball. Frequent vomiting dehydrates fast, so identify the cause and get veterinary help if it persists.
Juicy Feeds That Boost a Doe’s Milk
Lactating does make more milk on succulent feeds — beet, carrot, sow thistle, and pumpkin each bring specific nutrients and a daily portion. Wash and chop them, avoid dew-wet or un-drained leaves, and clear leftovers so nitrates do not build up and poison the doe.
Pet Vomiting (Part 3): Vomiting from Internal Parasites and Toxicity in Dogs and Cats
Internal parasites living in a dog or cat's gut irritate the intestinal lining and trigger vomiting, sometimes expelling visible worms. Food poisoning causes far more violent vomiting along with seizures and drooling, and demands immediate induced vomiting and gastric lavage. Routine deworming and keeping toxic foods — onions, grapes, chocolate, macadamia nuts — out of reach are the best defenses.
Kunlun Mountain Dog: Appearance and Temperament
The Chinese Kunlun Mountain Dog shares bloodlines with the Tibetan Mastiff and is a powerful guardian breed with strong defenses and wariness of strangers. Best for experienced owners, it is fierce with other dogs but loyal to its family, and needs careful bathing, feeding, and a list of forbidden foods.
Plants That Are Toxic to Dogs
Many common houseplants can poison a dog if chewed, from calcium-oxalate and saponin plants to those with cardiac glycosides, grayanotoxins, or allium compounds. Know the symptoms and keep toxic plants well out of reach.
Foods Dogs Should Not Eat
Salt and pungent spices irritate a dog's stomach and should stay off the menu, while large stone fruits must be pitted and cooked bones avoided entirely because they splinter. Liver and dairy are safe in moderation — vitamin A poisoning needs enormous daily amounts, and many dogs simply lack the enzyme to digest milk.
Medicines You Must Keep Away from Your Dog
Half of pet-poison calls involve dogs eating human meds—NSAIDs, acetaminophen, antidepressants, and more. Store all medicines locked away and never mix dog and human pills.
Can Dogs Eat Apples?
Apples are a safe, nutritious dog snack rich in vitamins and fiber, but skip the seeds and core for choking and cyanide risk. Dried apple makes a great treat too.
Do Cat Shots Really Hurt?
A cat that screams or fights at the vet is usually reacting to being restrained by strangers or to an unfamiliar place, not to real pain. Cats hide mild pain through lethargy and poor appetite, only crying out at severe levels — so routine vaccines and small-dose injections are well within what they can tolerate.
What Your Dog’s Waste and Walk Reveal About Its Health
Beyond temperature, pulse, and weight, a walk is the best window into your dog's health — watch its gait, expression, and the color and shape of its urine and stool. Red or dark urine can mean bleeding, cloudy urine an infection, shiny urine crystals, and orange urine jaundice; soft, bloody, or black stool points to digestive trouble. Catch these early and bring a fresh sample to the vet.
