My cat has been unable to urinate or defecate for over a day
Urinary blockage is usually a urinary disease (often idiopathic cystitis or stones); no stool may link to not eating or constipation. Needs vet care: catheter, fluids, anti-inflammatory, pain relief. Stones need dissolving meds and prescription food.
What happens if you don’t deworm a dog?
Skipping deworming invites fleas, ticks, mites, and worms that steal nutrition (anemia, weight loss) and cause itching, hair loss, dermatitis, and gut issues. Deworm monthly (external) and every 2-3 months (internal).
How does Fromm cat food taste?
Fromm has many lines; the popular green-bag all-life-stages 'soft-stool buster' has small, moderately firm kibble with a fish-chicken scent, lightly oily but not enough for chin acne.
What happens with cat constipation?
Common signs are digestive discomfort: poor appetite, lethargy, abdominal pain and bloating, even megacolon. Long-retained stool breeds bacteria and toxins reabsorbed into the body. Intervene with yogurt, high-fiber food, hairball paste; see a vet if severe.
Cat has sat hunched for a week, not afraid of people, weak, eyes barely open, not eating, skinny to the bone – what could it be?
Not eating and lethargic can mean gastroenteritis, panleukopenia, parasites, or hairballs. See a vet if possible; worms in stool point to parasites needing deworming.
What kinds of cats should you avoid keeping?
Most pet cats are fine, but avoid sick ones (lethargy, diarrhea, bad breath, hair loss) and Scottish Folds, which have inherited bone disease and short lives. Beginners can choose easy breeds like British Shorthair.
Why does a dog get perianal inflammation?
Irregular diet, constipation, and lack of exercise cause it; dry hard stool near the anus breeds bacteria. Feed moist, high-water food, keep bowel movements smooth, groom the coat/anus, and ensure exercise.
My cat’s energy is good but it eats very little; it eats cat strips but barely touches kibble or freeze-dried.
Reduced intake may be from food change, pickiness, stress, or gut discomfort. Try other kibble or mix in favorites, add probiotics, and comfort it; see a vet if it persists or soft stool/diarrhea/vomit appears.
What happens if a dog eats raw potatoes?
A little raw potato is harmless (starch/sugar for energy), but too much causes soft stool, bloating, and pain. Raw potatoes contain solanine; excess can poison with diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, coma. See a vet if abnormal.
What happens if a puppy drinks milk?
Puppies lack lactase, so cow's milk often causes lactose intolerance with diarrhea and bloating, even dehydration. Watch closely and stop if soft stool appears; use goat's milk formula instead for protein.
