I’m worried – my young puppy can’t be in heat already, can it?
A puppy humping your leg can be a sign of heat. Male dogs usually start around 7-10 months, varying by breed and size, and sex hormones in food can cause earlier heat. Watch for territorial urination, a swollen penis, or reduced appetite. Dogs may also imitate the behavior after seeing it elsewhere; stop it promptly to prevent a habit.

Kitten was fine when first brought home, but started vomiting the next day with clear fluid and white foam, refusing food, listless for three days, vomiting 2 to 3 times daily, sometimes yellow; never ate, threw up a few kibbles, ate some cat strips and hairball paste, water never cut off. Gave amoxicillin on day three, still vomiting, ate some chicken breast, vomited green fluid at night, then started having diarrhea.
Based on your description, vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea are most likely caused by enteritis or feline panleukopenia (distemper) virus infection. Because symptoms appeared shortly after bringing the kitten home, it may be a so-called week-old kitten from an unreliable source.
My two-and-a-half-month-old kitten started vomiting frequently and is now lethargic
Frequent vomiting usually signals stomach upset from digestive disease; a young kitten vomiting with low spirits may have a serious illness. If it stays lively after vomiting you can try fasting and water restriction with probiotics, anti-inflammatories and anti-emetics at home; otherwise see a vet to find the cause. Causes include blockage, hairballs, parasites, indigestion and feline panleukopenia.
