My dog vomited yellow foam with bone fragments this morning and had blood streaks in its stool; at noon it vomited blood. What is wrong?
Based on your description, the dog first vomited yellow foam and bone fragments with bloody stool, then vomited blood, which mainly suggests swallowing a sharp foreign object that damaged the digestive tract.
Started coughing on the third day home, low frequency, normal appetite and stools, no coughing while sleeping
Based on your description, a puppy that coughs but has normal energy and bowel movements is most likely suffering from a cold caused by chills. Puppies have low resistance and adapt poorly to environmental changes.
My dog suddenly stopped coming home, lay outside, hasn’t eaten for 3 days, now has bloody stool and is weak and cold
Blood in stool and anorexia can be poisoning, parasites, or viral disease, but by day 3 it's past the time for induced vomiting, so don't induce. Best to go to a vet; if not, warm it, give glucose-saline, pet antibiotics (amox-clav, bismuth) and probiotics. Tomato-soup-like stool suggests viral infection needing interferon and parvo monoclonal; puppy viral mortality is high, so hospitalization is better.
Stool has water and poop, sandy brown poop
Severe diarrhea is usually acute enteritis; brown stool suggests upper GI bleeding. Give pet anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal (neomycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, gentamicin, bismuth, smectite). Feed light, low-allergy, digestible food. If no relief, see a vet to avoid dehydration and anemia.
My rabbit’s eyes are half-closed, it won’t eat or drink, sways, breathes noisily, and has watery stool

How to treat a dog’s bloody stool
Treat bloody stool by first easing diarrhea with antibiotics and probiotics, then targeted deworming for parasites. Hemorrhagic enteritis needs fluids and meds; parvo, corona, or distemper need a vet.
My cat ate about six cat grass sticks and now has soft black stools with blood
Blood in the stool after cat grass may be fiber irritating the gut. Give antidiarrheals, anti-inflammatories, and probiotics; see a vet if it does not improve.
My three-month-old dog has soft stools, then suddenly worsened, vomited a worm, and now keeps vomiting and won’t move
Vomiting and diarrhea with worms indicates intestinal parasite infection causing acute gastroenteritis. Because the dog is vomiting severely, seek veterinary care for an antiemetic injection and fluids before oral medication.
My cat’s belly is very large but appetite and spirits are normal; stools are a bit loose and hind legs feel weak
A large belly may be pregnancy, ascites, or an abdominal tumor. Gradual enlargement in a female cat suggests pregnancy, while rapid swelling suggests ascites such as FIP. An imaging exam at the vet is recommended.
