Puppy had pet goat milk, then more cow milk the last two days; today yellow grainy bits on stool — is that a problem?
The yellow grains are likely curdled milk or undigested corn, a sign of indigestion. Goat milk is more nutritious and digestible than cow milk, so return to it and add softened puppy kibble near one month. Feed small, frequent meals.
After playing outside he vomited wild grass, then undigested kibble, then loud diarrhea, now watery stool, no eating, no fever, no blood
Eating grass can cause acute gastroenteritis from its fiber irritating the stomach. Try pet anti-diarrhea medicine; if it eases, offer softened kibble. If not, see a vet for fluids to avoid electrolyte imbalance.
Dog has a cluster of something on the left side of its stomach, vomiting and bloody stool; can it heal on its own or need scope removal?
X-rays cannot confirm a foreign body. If a mass is in the stomach, urgent endoscopy with prompt removal gives good recovery odds; a barium study first maps it. Non-passing objects need surgery, while normal eating and stool allow conservative care.
I found my hamster’s tail wet with soft yellowish stool containing white strands — are those worms?
Soft stool with white string-like matter strongly suggests internal parasites. Have a vet do a fecal exam and use the prescribed dewormer. Keep the cage and dishes clean to limit spread.
Cat vomited five or six times and keeps going to the litter box; blood in stool or urine during heat?
The photo cannot show whether the material is vomit or waste or its color. Vomiting with frequent bathroom trips suggests stones, cystitis or other urinary issues, or parasites and infection. A vet check is needed.
My dog is sniffling, possibly chilled — ate this morning, drank at noon, now refuses food and wants to sleep, even when I pry its mouth open. I suspect a cold and gave a quarter dose of compound isatis root powder; now asleep and sneezing less. Stools were broken this morning and noon. What should I do?
Based on your description, the sneezing, loss of appetite, and sleepiness may be a cold. Keep the dog warm and give pet cold medicine such as Punoshu and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, then watch for improvement. If symptoms persist or worsen, take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment.
How is blood in a puppy’s stool treated?
Bloody stool in puppies can stem from intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral infection, or foreign-object scratches, each needing different treatment. For parasites, use dewormers like praziquantel or metronidazole plus probiotics. For bacterial infection (E. coli, Salmonella), use antibiotics like gentamicin or cephalosporins. For viruses (distemper, parvovirus), use ribavirin, acyclovir, or interferon with supportive care. If the puppy ate toxins or indigestible objects, promptly perform gastric lavage or abdominal surgery to remove them.
Dog has red streaks in the eyes, is inactive, passes little soft stool, twitches while sleeping, occasionally has hiccup-like belly movements, and sleeps constantly
Based on your description, the soft stool and hiccups may be caused by gastroenteritis, and the red eyes may indicate internal heat or inflammation. You can give the dog pet probiotics to regulate the gut and withhold food for half a day, then adjust to a light, easily digestible diet. If symptoms do not improve, take the dog to a veterinary hospital to rule out underlying disease.
My cat is 7-9 months old, had loose stool two days ago, became lethargic and refused food yesterday, vomited twice last night, and was found hiding in the yard this morning — what could be wrong?
Based on your description, the cat's symptoms of loose stool, lethargy, vomiting, and loss of appetite are mainly considered to be caused by gastroenteritis. You can withhold food for half a day and give the cat anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and gut-regulating medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, bismuth subcarbonate tablets, and pet probiotics. Once the symptoms ease, feed the cat easily digestible food. If there is no improvement after medication, promptly take the cat to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment to rule out any underlying disease.
Kitten found Oct 11; normal stools for half a month with manual/self stimulation, but after a formula change, no stool for 4-5 days, probiotics didn’t help, only urinates often. What should I do?
If constipation started after the formula change, the gut may not digest it or it has antidiarrheal agents. See a vet to clear blockage; then return to the old formula or another to avoid recurrence.
