Pregnant queen has frequent urination, little urine, drip by drip
First, a growing fetus presses the uterus and bladder, causing frequent urination, which is normal; if spirits, appetite, and womb are normal, it returns after birth. Give more water and B-checks as needed. Also, cats often get urinary syndrome, so if frequent urination with little urine comes with poor spirits, check the urethra/bladder and do a pregnancy exam to avoid dead fetuses or pyometra.
Just got the puppy, found white-yellow pasty stool, unsure when it started; now vomiting yellow fluid; gave a dose of gentamicin and a norfloxacin
White sticky loose stool suggests shed intestinal mucosa, meaning serious mucosal damage, usually acute enteritis, parasites, or infection. As a new puppy with unknown history, screen for parvovirus, coronavirus, and parasites, which your meds won't treat. Simple enteritis with okay spirits improves with probiotics and antibiotics; if not, see a vet at once.
Cat vomits yellow fluid, white foam at mouth, won’t eat or drink, no energy
Yellow vomit, no eating/drinking, and low spirits can come from many serious diseases: gut dysfunction, infectious disease, liver disease, pancreatitis, or hairball-caused acute gastroenteritis; white foam does not rule out poisoning. First do infectious-disease and blood screening at the vet; frequent vomiting causes dehydration, so IV fluids may be needed. If no visit, use anti-vomit and antibacterial meds.
Bought fish oil; gave some before work, forgot to close it, came back and it ate about 50-60 pills; since last night mild diarrhea, dark stool, a bit sleepy today; any problem?
Dogs must not eat excess fish oil; their digestion and liver are limited, and too much causes acute diarrhea or even gut bleeding, and dark stool suggests digestive bleeding. If spirits are fine after diarrhea, little danger; if diarrhea, sleepiness, and poor appetite continue, vitamin toxicity is possible, so go to the vet at once.
Why is my cat having diarrhea?
Diarrhea usually means a digestive problem from food intolerance, parasites, bacteria, or viruses. Watch frequency and spirits; if good and not frequent, give pet probiotics and kaolin. If frequent with listlessness and no appetite, take it for tests to tell virus, parasite, or bacteria apart; parasite and bacterial enteritis improve in days, viral is worse.
Stool was dry when first home; after some wet food it got a bit loose; does this count as diarrhea?
From the photo, the stool is loose and unformed; if spirits and appetite are good, it may be indigestion from wet food, common in cats with weak guts or new food. First fast and withhold water 6-12 hours and give pet probiotics, then slowly return to the old diet, avoiding sudden changes or new foods. If diarrhea continues, check parasites and gut flora at the vet.
Cat hasn’t eaten since coming home and keeps vomiting, but no diarrhea
Not eating and ongoing vomiting after coming home may be a stress reaction. Give probiotics and B-complex to counter stress and aid digestion. If unvaccinated, also consider viral infection. If vomiting continues or spirits drop, see a vet for targeted care.
Is it sick or what? Looks a bit puffed up
A new bird not eating may be from new-environment stress or illness. Check whether its droppings are formed and its spirits are good. If normal, give enough food and water and a quiet space; once stress drops it may eat. If it refuses long, syringe 5-8 ml glucose water every hour to avoid collapse.
Just brought home two days ago; eats and drinks well, very clingy, but doesn’t like to move; the other kitten is lively and chubby, sister much thinner; vet said observe 10+ days; could not moving mean panleukopenia?
Kittens are usually active; if one is inactive, watch its spirits, walking, and appetite. If abnormal, get a full check. Panleukopenia shows in 3-10 days; if no abnormality in that window, it is basically ruled out. To rule out hidden disease, a full exam is best.
Why won’t my dog eat and why is it listless?
Not eating and low spirits can come from illness, environment change, pickiness, mood, or pain. Observe closely and act; if no cause shows, see a vet for diagnosis and treatment. For mild cases, offer favorite treats or canned food for appeal and spend more time playing; if it still won't eat, the disease is serious and needs a vet.
