Previously ate cornmeal elsewhere; day 1 home had goat-milk-soaked kibble; this morning gave smectite and probiotics, then two more loose stools, still watery, but the puppy is very energetic. Should I fast and withhold water?
Recent arrival and food change likely cause stress/upset diarrhea. Fast 6-12 hours with probiotics and watch; if no relief, see a vet for parasites etc.
Seems a bit food-bound; ate grapes by mistake this afternoon, vomited in the evening — vomit had kibble, stool normal firm.
Vomiting after grapes is helpful to expel toxin; grapes are toxic. If little was eaten and it vomited soon with good energy, usually fine. If vomiting continues with poor spirit, see a vet to check kidney values and prevent failure.
My cat has blood in stool and convulsions.
Blood in stool with convulsions may be poisoning or feline distemper, both serious. Get a full vet exam; if unvaccinated, distemper is likely (high mortality). If vaccinated, consider other causes.
My cat frequently has blood in stool! Soft stool with blood at the end, but energy and appetite are good.
Soft stool with end blood but good spirit suggests parasites (giardia, coccidia, hookworm). Get a fecal test to identify the type. Hard-to-digest food can also bleed; find the cause first.
My cat has diarrhea with blood in the stool — is it because I recently changed its food?
Bloody stool can be parasites, indigestion, enteritis, or distemper. Recent food change likely caused indigestion or allergy; adjust diet, give probiotics, and transition food gradually. See a vet if it persists.
Why does my puppy have black stool?
Black stool can be food, internal parasites, or gut bleeding. If a worm is seen, deworm; tarry black stool suggests gastrointestinal bleeding and needs urgent care.
Why does my puppy pass white stool?
White stool often comes from diet — too many bones (unabsorbed calcium) or too much milk (lactose intolerance). It can also signal illness like bile duct blockage, so see a vet if it persists.
My Dog Keeps a Dry Cough Like Something Is Stuck in Its Throat but Does Not Vomit, Also Sneezes; Energy and Stool Are Normal
With good energy and normal stool, this is likely a reverse sneeze from cold-air irritation, needing no treatment—just avoid irritants. If it persists, consider airway infection and keep it warm with medication.
My new puppy vomited and has watery stools and frequent urination after a food change and car ride
From the description, the new puppy went through food and environment changes; the symptoms are likely from stress or fear. Give a quiet, comfortable place to rest and adapt, and offer probiotics to regulate the gut. If severe or prolonged, see a vet to rule out infection/parasites.
What does a dog’s stool look like after deworming?
Dead parasites pass in stool, so color may turn black, green, or bloody. The drug's action and parasite activity can upset gut flora, causing soft stool or diarrhea; some vomiting is normal as parasites are expelled. If severe or prolonged, see a vet.
