What happens if a dog has a severe tapeworm infection?
Severe tapeworms cause digestive symptoms like abnormal appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stool, and can lead to intestinal blockage, intussusception, or rupture. Long-term infection causes malnutrition, anemia, and low immunity; heavy infection can press nerves and cause spasms. Use praziquantel and add nutrition.

What are the chances of internal bleeding after my kitten was bitten by a dog?
The chance of internal bleeding is hard to pin down; it depends on the dog's size, bite force, location, and the kitten's constitution. If it shows lameness, no eating, collapse, or blood in stool, see a vet for organ/bone injury.
My 3-month dog ate a bun and only urinates, not poops
A bun usually causes little trouble; observe half a day to a day, then add water and probiotics, and see a vet if no stool. If it was a chive or scallion bun, go to a vet at once as alliums poison dogs.
