What to do if a myna has diarrhea?
For myna diarrhea, give a little tetracycline or oxytetracycline anti-inflammatory, crushed and dissolved in water, once daily. Diarrhea usually comes from spoiled food, stress or parasites/viruses; keep the cage clean and quiet. Green watery or bloody stool suggests coccidia or virus — see a vet, as medicine alone won't cure it.
I gave it Mommy Love, B6, gentamicin, Yunnan Baiyao, cephalexin
Not vomiting in canine parvovirus doesn't mean improvement; treatment lasts about 7 days, worst at 3-5. Green stool suggests continued viral shedding. Your human drugs help symptoms but don't fully fight the virus. For higher cure rate, get vet IVs and antivirals, fluids, and symptomatic meds.
Swallowed a plastic decoration from a hair tie ~40 min ago, no vomiting, gave 4 cat-grass tablets — will it pass?
After swallowing a foreign body, assess size and digestibility; plastic decor is hard to digest. Within half an hour, induce vomiting (hydrogen peroxide at home); if it won't come up, go to a vet for endoscopic removal to avoid surgery. If not treated, watch stool/vomiting 48h and X-ray if abnormal.
Two-month-old cat just brought home yesterday, normal then, now won’t defecate and keeps meowing
A cat in a new environment may not defecate or may meow a lot — a common stress reaction from relying on smell and feeling unsafe, or eating less. Observe two days and keep it company; if no stool too long or other abnormalities appear, see a vet.
Half-month-old puppy just opened eyes and keeps having diarrhea, what to do?
Newborn puppy diarrhea may come from high-fat milk, a chill, or overeating. Yellow soft stool is normal from liquid milk; feed the mother less greasy food. Watery diarrhea suggests digestive trouble or a chill — keep warm. Puppies lack fullness cues, so reduce food if overeating.
How can you tell if a cat is healthy?
A healthy cat is active, bright-eyed, responsive and eager to eat. Check the face and mouth for excess eye discharge, smelly ears, pale gums, bad breath or dry hot nose. The stool should be formed, with no soft stool, blood or dirty, swollen anus.
My 3.5-month kitten has had panleukopenia for 8 days, is eating and active but has diarrhea — will it recover?
By day 8 a kitten with panleukopenia has usually passed the danger period, and diarrhea can likely be resolved with diet and medication. The gut flora is disrupted by the virus and antibiotics, needing probiotics. Feed intestinal prescription food and monitor.
What happens if a cat eats cold food?
Cold food easily irritates a cat's stomach, causing pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Cats have delicate guts and cold, hard or spicy food disrupts digestion. Feed warm or room-temperature food; use probiotics if problems occur, or see a vet if severe.
Cat is vomiting white foam, lethargic and can’t defecate — what’s wrong?
Lethargy, vomiting and dry stools suggest constipation from hairballs or liver/gallbladder disease. Give cat grass or hairball paste plus probiotics. If unresolved, see a vet for bloodwork and imaging and treat the liver.
How long does it take for a dog’s internal ‘heat’ to recover?
Mild 'heat' recovers in 2 to 3 days with more water and a light diet. Severe cases need cooling foods or medication, and the diet should be adjusted.
