A one-month-old Pekingese, home four or five days, urinates a lot but won’t defecate; gave enema at night, then next day listless, poor eating/drinking, just lies in the cage.
No defecation may be constipation or lack of intake; probiotics and soft food help. Lethargy could signal infectious disease, so watch for other signs and avoid home enemas; see a vet.
My cat regurgitates the food it eats and is listless.
Not eating with vomiting has many causes: dietary indiscretion, foreign body obstruction, hairballs, panleukopenia, or poisoning and organ disease. Probiotics may help mild cases, but persistent or severe signs need a vet.
Sudden whole-body trembling, no energy and no eating for nearly three days! No diarrhea, no runny nose, no cough, no vomiting!
Whole-body trembling in dogs can come from poisoning, cold, organ pain, or infectious disease. Check environment, diet, temperature, and stools, and pursue imaging and blood work at a vet.
My cat vomited frequently this morning, with pink-tinged white foam, then brought up a large ball of steel wool. Is there a problem?

How do you choose a good Husky?
Buy from a proper seller and check the symmetrical 'three fires' marking and build. Also assess health: bright eyes, energy, clean ears, no stool near the anus, no hair loss or itching. If purebred is claimed, get a pedigree certificate or see the parents.
How often should a cat’s anal glands be expressed?
Healthy adult cats do not need their anal glands expressed, as they empty naturally during defecation. Only older, inactive, or chronically soft-stooled cats need it, about every two months.
What happens if a dog drinks cold water?
