There are white wriggling things under my dog’s rear. I dewormed it yesterday but they’re still there today, and now I’m afraid to give more dewormer. What should I do?!
Based on your description, it is normal for your dog to still be passing worms the day after deworming. When a dog infected with internal parasites takes a deworming medication, it will gradually expel eggs and worm bodies in its stool, usually clearing them within 3-7 days. If worms are still being passed a week after treatment, or if large numbers of eggs or worms appear, the infection is more serious and a second round of deworming is needed.
What vegetables are best for a leopard tortoise?
Good vegetables include bok choy, cabbage, choy sum, mustard, kale, edible chrysanthemum, sweet potato leaves, etc. Leopard tortoises suit low-water, high-fiber foods; high-water foods cause loose stool. Grasses like ryegrass, timothy, dandelion, alfalfa, plantain and clover also suit them. Keep diet varied for balance.
How can I make my kitten defecate?
A kitten that can't poop may have indigestion or low water intake; if weaned, give warm water or honey water to soften stool, and gently massage the abdomen top-down to stimulate movement. For severe constipation, try a little hairball paste; if no effect, see a vet.
What causes abnormal turtle droppings?
Normal turtle stool is oval and light gray; red stool after eating fish/shrimp is normal. The pictured stool is unformed, with mucus, soft and yellow—likely indigestion or enteritis. Stop feeding and observe; keep the habitat clean and warm. If it persists, use medication to help recovery.
My cat hasn’t pooped or eaten for three days—what’s wrong?
With little detail, causes may be slow digestion from low intake or constipation from disease. Constipation relates to weak gut movement, low exercise, little water or poor diet; increase water, add probiotics, honey water or hairball paste, and see a vet if it persists with poor spirits.
Why Is My Parrot Having Diarrhea, and What to Do
Parrot diarrhea is usually diet or disease. Mild diet cases self-heal or take probiotics; disease cases - salmonella, E. coli, Newcastle, enteritis, chlamydia - need the right drug and isolation. When unsure, try garlic water and warmth, then oxytetracycline, and ask a vet.
It hasn’t eaten for three days and won’t even take force-feeding; I thought it was gastroenteritis and gave medicine but it vomited it up. On the fourth day the hospital confirmed feline panleukopenia (distemper), and it’s had IV fluids for four days. White blood cells went 4.7 to 3.8 to 5.1 to 7.9, FPV-AG now 38.18 ug/ml. It can eat now and energy is better — does it still need treatment, or can we stop and let it recover slowly?
Feline panleukopenia is usually dangerous, with a course of about 7–10 days; active treatment and monitoring are advised, and stopping medication should follow the vet's instructions — never stop on your own. Continue until energy, appetite, and stool are normal, then recheck WBC, SAA, and antigen; after they return to normal ranges, some antivirals and fluids can be tapered, but gut repair needs longer care.
Why Is My Parrot Fish’s Belly Swollen?
A swollen parrot-fish belly means overfeeding and indigestion, pregnancy, or gut disease. Stop feeding and medicate for indigestion, ease water changes during pregnancy, and use norfloxacin or a stronger mix for enteritis - but find the cause first.
What are the causes of a cat bleeding?
From the photo, the cat is bleeding and has diarrhea, but the bleeding site cannot be determined from the photo; it could be external or internal injury. If external, it may be cut by a sharp object and stressed into diarrhea — treat the wound and give probiotics. If diarrhea with blood, consider gastrointestinal bleeding, bacterial gastroenteritis, or intestinal laceration, and see a vet.
My cat had a bowel movement on the bed with blood and mucus in it, some formed and some watery, but its energy and appetite are fine — what could be the cause?
A cat passing stool with blood and mucus, with both formed and loose stool, could be due to parasitic infection, intestinal flora imbalance, the cat food itself, proctitis, or acute enteritis. First, do not overlook parasites just because the cat is regularly dewormed — besides common tapeworms, roundworms, or hookworms that cause intestinal ulcers and bloody stool, coccidia and giardia, which routine dewormers may not cover, can also cause diarrhea and bloody stool.
