Symptoms for Three Days: Started with Foaming at the Mouth, Now Lethargic, Vomiting, and Diarrhea
Foaming at the mouth in cats can come from indigestion, excess stomach acid, or gastroenteritis. Try fasting and giving probiotics, then observe. If it doesn't improve, use pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic medication, and see a vet if abnormal signs persist.
Yesterday swallowed an elastic string about 15-20 cm, fairly thick; eating normally, but this morning it could not defecate in the litter box
Inability to pass stool after swallowing a string suggests intestinal blockage; a 15-20 cm elastic string is hard to pass. Give water with probiotics and see a vet within 48 hours if not passed.
Just brought the cat to the countryside; fine in the morning, but on the bed it trembled, though legs could retract. After caging it stayed in the litter box; when pulled out its legs were stiff and immobile. We are over an hour from the city.
Stiff, trembling legs may indicate paralysis from a saddle thrombus, spinal or nerve issues, or poisoning. All require urgent veterinary care.
Let the dog out to play alone; it squeezed through a small backyard gap. It’s fat and struggled. When found it stopped barking; normally very vocal.
A dog that stops barking after playing out may have tired itself or been injured squeezing through; rest and watch. It may also have eaten poison; ensure water and watch for symptoms.
My cat won’t eat, is listless, and keeps lying down
A listless, anorexic cat may be sick. Offer palatable foods like warmed canned food, rehydrated freeze-dried, or cat treats; keep it warm to avoid respiratory infection; watch stool/urine/temperature and see a vet for runny nose, sneezing, tearing, fever, or elimination changes.
Why does a chicken pass red feces
Red chicken feces usually means blood mixed in from damaged stomach/intestinal mucosa and ruptured vessels. Causes include parasites, adenogastritis, enterotoxemia, mycotoxin poisoning; coccidiosis thickens the intestine and causes bleeding and red droppings.
Started licking its anus frequently a month ago, then began urinating randomly with occasional blood, and now has been bleeding continuously since today, also vomiting and crying in pain when picked up
Blood in a cat's urine is generally caused by urinary tract diseases such as crystals, stones, or urethritis. Because the cat is also frequently licking its anus, you should determine whether it is actually blood in the urine or in the stool.
My Samoyed may have swallowed a nail at 5pm; acting normal, didn’t vomit after induction – will it be ok
Since you only suspect and induction didn't work, stop inducing (it irritates esophagus/stomach). Watch whether it passes the nail in stool; a thin nail may pass on its own. Give probiotics for motility, check stool daily; if not passed in 2 days or vomiting/blood/diarrhea appear, get X-rays - surgery may be needed.
