My cat has vomited many times in two days and throws up water too, but still has spirit
Frequent vomiting, even of water, can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, liver or kidney disease, obstruction, or infection. Withhold food and water to ease the gut and see a vet promptly; keep the environment clean.
No diarrhea, no vomiting, normal spirits and appetite, but blood drips after defecation.
Blood after stool may be constipation, parasites, foreign-object scratches, proctitis, or perianal tumor. Hard stool suggests constipation hurting the mucosa; give water and probiotics. Hard stool after hard objects suggests scratches; use anti-inflammatory and see a vet if it continues. Soft stool needs fecal test for coccidia, whipworm, roundworm; then deworm. If all fail, consider tumor via colonoscopy.
My dog has a fever, vomiting, and low spirits—what should I do?
Fever and vomiting have many causes and need a vet exam; cool the dog with alcohol wipes and seek the cause if it hits 40 C. Withhold food and water when vomiting, and test for distemper or parvovirus if unvaccinated.
Why Is Your Dog in Low Spirits?
A dog in low spirits is usually from unmet needs, neglect, feeling threatened, heat, or physical discomfort. A dog needs more than food — it craves attention, and long neglect easily lowers its mood. Here are the common causes.
Dog has watery diarrhea, vomiting, low spirits, dry nose, dehydration, and refuses food
Based on the symptoms, the preliminary diagnosis is acute gastroenteritis or an infectious disease. If unvaccinated, suspect parvovirus, coronavirus, or distemper, which are life-threatening and need hospitalization.
My dog, over a year old, hasn’t eaten for five or six days, only drinks sometimes, low spirits—what is wrong?
Not eating often means serious illness; observe other signs and get a full exam for the cause. Try tempting with canned food, paste or meat to see if it is just picky; if so, fix diet and stop human food. If it tries but can't eat, check the mouth for objects, dental or stomatitis. Watch for diarrhea or vomiting—if present, it may be poisoning, infection or organ failure; see a vet.
Kitten suddenly vomiting, low spirits, throws up even after eating cat strips—what to do?
Vomiting may come from hairballs, internal parasites, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis or panleukopenia. If otherwise normal with hair in vomit, try hairball paste. If no improvement, withhold food and water half a day, then give pet anti-inflammatory and an anti-vomit drug; after relief feed small frequent bland meals with probiotics. If still poor and unvaccinated, see a vet.
Cat dry heaving, squatting, head forward twitching, cough-like sound, low spirits—two of three cats affected
Dry heaving has many causes: acute gastroenteritis, bacterial enteritis, gas or indigestion; upper respiratory infection or allergens with throat phlegm; hairballs or foreign bodies blocking gut/esophagus; or contagious diseases like panleukopenia, FIP or rhinotracheitis. Have a vet examine the cats to find the cause before treatment.
My dog has not wanted to eat, is low in spirits, stays in its bed, and will not go out; what is wrong?
Not eating with low energy likely means illness; see a vet to avoid misdiagnosis. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, fever (parvo/corona if unvaccinated), or respiratory signs (kennel cough, distemper). If no symptoms, heat or cold may be the cause.
Cat has a soft lump under the neck skin, slightly red around it, eating and drinking fine, good spirits
A subcutaneous soft lump in a cat may be: a hematoma (soft, not very painful, fluctuant, slowly absorbed; use hemostatics if clotting is impaired); inflammation from an injection site needing drainage and anti-inflammatories; or local cellulitis with pus needing systemic antibiotics and wound cleaning.
