How long can a cat hold its bladder and bowels?

What happens if a cat eats sausage (hot dog)?
A little sausage barely affects a cat, but young cats with immature guts may vomit or have diarrhea. Adults must not eat much either, as sausage is salty, starchy and additive-heavy, irritating the gut and causing tear stains, shedding and soft stool. Regular feeding breeds picky eating and chronic malnutrition.

Too many bones can cause intestinal blockage with constipation, abdominal pain, lethargy, no appetite and vomiting, usually needing surgery. Hollow brittle bones like chicken or duck easily cut the gut and cause inflammation. Hard bones also damage teeth.
What does hamster diarrhea look like?
A diarrheal hamster has very soft, foul-smelling stool stuck to its anus, tail and belly fur. It is usually from unclean food or water; improve diet and give anti-diarrhea medicine. Gray stool with poor appetite may be wet tail disease, needing a vet.
How long after internal deworming medicine can a dog eat?
No special feeding limit; feed 2-3 hours after the dose. Watch for worms in stool; if none, keep regular preventive deworming. If worms appear, give the same dose again the next day and observe until none remain.
