How long until sleeping pills take effect in a cat?
Pet sleeping pills usually work within 20-30 minutes orally. Cat-specific sedatives must be used only under vet guidance; never give human sleeping pills, which cause acute poisoning.
Dog first retched all day, then kept whining, won’t eat; morning found clear mucus at mouth and diarrhea stains at the anus.
The dog has vomiting and diarrhea. For a puppy, rule out distemper/parvo/corona at a hospital - these threaten life. An adult may have acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, blockage, or poisoning - fast, give probiotics, cimetidine, bismuth; if no better, see a vet.
What happens if a Teddy licks chocolate?
A few licks usually do not poison, since toxicity needs a certain amount and many chocolates are low purity; but small Teds tolerate less theobromine, so watch for lethargy, restlessness, rapid breathing, vomiting or diarrhea and see a vet if present.
Has not eaten for two or three days, keeps sleeping and will not get up, passes yellow water and is incontinent.
Yellow watery stool, lethargy and no eating may be feline distemper, parasites, poisoning or gastroenteritis; take the cat to the hospital for fluids promptly. The cat is critically dehydrated and incontinent, and without electrolyte fluids it may suffer organ failure or death.
What happens if a dog eats human medicine?
A dog eating human medicine can easily be poisoned, because its body structure and metabolism differ from humans and it cannot process some ingredients. Even a small amount can cause poisoning, kidney failure or death.
My dog was fine yesterday; I suspect a large dog bit its head, and today it vomited, cannot stand, rolls its eyes. It is dying.
Unsteady standing and confusion may come from: head trauma causing encephalitis (needs CT/MRI), distemper infection (common in puppies), or poisoning damaging nerves. Get to a vet if possible; otherwise give glucose or goat milk for strength.
My cat has not eaten or drunk for two days, won’t get up, seems weak in the legs, and looks near death.
Two days without food or water with weakness is dehydration from disease; long starvation causes electrolyte loss and can be fatal. Causes include distemper, gastroenteritis, nutritional deficiency, parasites, or poisoning. Give glucose water and see a vet at once.
What if a poodle eats garlic?
A little garlic may be fine, but excess causes poisoning as dogs cannot metabolize N-propyl disulfide, damaging hemoglobin and causing hemolysis.
How to deworm a dog internally and externally?
Use separate products: external (fipronil, selamectin, methoprene) monthly by weight, no bath 3 days around. Internal (albendazole, ivermectin, praziquantel, pyrantel): puppies monthly, adults every 2-3 months; overdose risks poisoning.
What happens a week after a puppy eats onions?
Untreated onion poisoning can kill a puppy quickly; with mild ingestion, jaundice and anemia may appear within about a week. Symptoms include loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and dark urine. Seek vet care and avoid toxic foods like avocado, chocolate, and grapes.
