My two-month-old Golden Retriever vomited white foam first thing in the morning, had dry heaves last night, no stool, no eating, just lies down whining, temperature normal.
Foaming vomit in dogs has many causes: food poisoning, poor diet, gut disease, parvovirus, distemper. An unvaccinated dog with foam vomit, no eating, and low spirits should be tested for parvo, distemper, or coronavirus. Non-viral causes may be gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites; treat the cause. Dehydration is risky, so seek IV care.
Rabbit Mycotoxin Poisoning: Symptoms and Control
Mycotoxin poisoning in rabbits comes from moldy feed, peaks in hot humid summer, and hits lactating does hardest with no contagion and poor drug response. Acute signs are appetite loss, irregular stools, staggering, and death in 2 to 4 days. Prevent it with strict feed storage and anti-mold additives, and treat by stopping the moldy feed and giving glucose, vitamins, and antifungal drugs.
My cat was poisoned and vomited yellow foam; I gave atropine, what should I do next?
Treatment depends on the poison type and symptoms; never blindly medicate at home. Get the cat to a hospital fast; for food poisoning, induced vomiting helps unless the cat is unconscious or ate corrosives. IV fluids speed toxin clearance.
Cat won’t eat, passed a lot of blood, listless all day. Looks like food poisoning.
A cat refusing food and passing dark-red bloody urine may be from: 1) poisoning causing red-cell rupture, hemolytic anemia, and kidney failure (onion, rat poison, poor-quality food); 2) urinary disease like cystitis or stones; 3) blood parasites or drugs. Any of these needs emergency hospital care.
What Happens If a Dog’s Temperature Drops?
Normal temp is 37.5-39 C; a drop causes dullness, coma and shock from low blood sugar, poisoning or malnutrition, possibly death. Warm the dog and rush to a vet.
What happens after a cat dies of poisoning?
A poisoned cat's death appearance depends on the toxin: gut-burning poisons cause vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration; nerve poisons cause twitching and foam at the mouth. Some toxins destroy red blood cells.
My cat went out this afternoon, came back, then suddenly had rapid breathing, dilated pupils, and drooled with blood-streaked saliva; she is 50 days pregnant. Is this food poisoning, should I induce vomiting? Symptoms gone but she is lethargic.
Sudden rapid breathing, drooling, and dilated pupils in a cat strongly suggest poisoning. Poisoning signs include lethargy, poor appetite, breathing difficulty, dilated pupils, temperature change, and blue-purple mucous membranes, later diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration; severe cases damage the liver and can be fatal. At home induce vomiting with soapy water or diluted hydrogen peroxide and go to the vet; early treatment saves lives.
What does kitten poisoning look like?
Kitten poisoning causes restlessness, violent vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, twitching, drooling, breathing trouble, and no appetite. Some toxins destroy red cells, causing blood in urine and cyanotic mucous membranes (hemolytic anemia). Untreated, temperature drops, breathing slows, shock, even death. So see a vet promptly if suspected.
Causes and Prevention of Turtle Poisoning
Turtle poisoning comes from toxic plants (pothos, lilies, daffodils), venomous insects, environmental chemicals, or—most commonly—ammonia-nitrogen buildup from poor, oxygen-poor, overcrowded water. Prevent it with toxin-free food and habitat, clean water, sensible stocking density, and a prompt vet visit if poisoned.
What poisons are fatal to dogs?
Rat poison, pesticide, roach killer, cyanide, etc. can kill a dog. If ingested, induce vomiting with soapy water and rush to a vet; store chemicals safely.
