My dog started vomiting its food yesterday, is unsteady, trembling, shaking its head, had soft and loose stools, and has not eaten all day. No blood. What is wrong?
Vomiting, unsteadiness, trembling, loose stools, and refusal to eat may be enteritis from a blockage or serious diseases like distemper or parvo. Prompt vet testing is important.
My dog is vomiting and has diarrhea, throws up everything within minutes, and has bloody stool; might be coccidia. Given smectite, Yunnan Baiyao, omeprazole, then coccidia meds; now energetic.
These signs suggest acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis from digestion, toxins, parasites, or infection. Unvaccinated dogs need a virus screen; vaccinated ones can be observed. With frequent vomiting, withhold food and water six hours before medicating.
My puppy was bathed at the clinic, caught a chill on the way home, rode an hour in the car, and since 7:50 has been coughing, gagging, and vomiting clear fluid; two soft stools; given doxycycline. What should I do?
Coughing and gagging after a bath and chill are usually a respiratory infection; doxycycline with an expectorant can help. Keep the dog warm and well-nourished. If it worsens or shows other signs, suspect viral disease and see a vet.
My cat hasn’t urinated for two days, only passed a lot of stool, then didn’t use the box all day and slept. What’s wrong?
White pasty material in the litter plus no urine points to urinary disease such as cystitis, infection, stones, or tumors. A full bladder needs urgent vet catheterization and fluids to avoid rupture or kidney failure. Urine and X-ray tests confirm the cause.
My cat keeps going to the litter box but can’t pee or poop; a little soft stool appeared overnight, no appetite, lethargic, and cries loudly when held. I force-fed water and it vomited.
Frequent litter-box trips with little urine suggest urinary blockage, which risks kidney failure. With appetite loss and lethargy this is serious, so see a vet immediately. Delayed treatment can cause major harm.
My 7-year-old neutered male cat has had tartar for a long time, has been drooling on and off for three days with some urine leakage; calicivirus and herpes tests were negative. Appetite and stools are normal.
Drooling can come from excitement or from oral disease such as periodontitis, especially with long-term tartar. Urine leakage suggests a urinary issue like infection, cystitis, or stones. A vet visit is advised to confirm the cause.
Cat has thrown up yellow bile with foam once daily for 2-3 days, now slight soft stool but energetic – what to do?
Energetic with yellow bile and soft stool suggests acute gastroenteritis from bad diet/indigestion. Use pet GI anti-inflammatories and gut-restoring meds; if unvaccinated consider virus/parasites; see vet if no relief.
My tabby has been in a hunched squat, not eating, soft stool, frequent fever for a long time; blood tests show no cause – what is it?
The signs suggest feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a highly fatal but treatable disease. Blood tests alone can't diagnose it; use biochemistry, ultrasound, and coronavirus PCR, plus Rivalta test if ascites.
Soft stool, no appetite, listless, had diarrhea the day before yesterday
These signs likely mean acute gastroenteritis, intestinal parasites, or panleukopenia. See a vet for diagnosis; ongoing diarrhea with low intake causes weakness, so find the cause fast.
Why does my dog pass black stool?
Black stool may be food, internal parasites (worms visible), or gut bleeding. Food-related resolves by stopping the food; worms need deworming; black tarry stool means GI bleeding needing a vet.
