Why does my 2-month-old puppy have jelly-like soft stool?
Jelly-like stool indicates damaged, bleeding intestinal lining, possibly from indigestion, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viruses. See a vet for diagnosis; mild cases may need fasting and probiotics.
What does blood in a Teddy’s stool look like?
Blood in stool means bright red or dark red blood appears in the feces. Causes include digestive diseases (gastritis, ulcers, intestinal inflammation, parasites), anal diseases (proctitis, tumors, anal sac issues), infectious diseases (distemper, parvovirus), or food poisoning. A fecal exam at the vet is needed.
Started vomiting yesterday, poor appetite, stool firm then loose with a foul smell, temperature 39.8°C.
Based on your description — vomiting, poor appetite, fever, diarrhea — these are typical signs of distemper, possibly an infection. Test with a canine distemper strip; if both C and T lines turn red or purple, the dog is infected. Distemper is highly contagious with over 80% mortality, so see a vet urgently.
What does normal stool of a young nursing kitten look like?
Newborn nursing kittens eat milk or formula, so their stool is unformed, liquid, yellow or yellow-brown. It firms with age. Normal stool has only a slight odor - a key way to tell if it is normal. Very smelly stool usually means indigestion or gastroenteritis.
Why does my dog have soft stools?
From the photo, the dog's stool is relatively soft, possibly from overeating. Without portion control, dogs that eat too much easily develop indigestion, leading to soft stools or diarrhea. Try fasting the dog briefly and adding probiotics, and feed set amounts on a schedule. Other causes include parasites, weather changes, and gastrointestinal disease.
What to Do About Abnormal Turtle Stool
Abnormal turtle stool often points to gut trouble. Check the vent for stains (parasites or enteritis), white discharge (kidney disease), or water stools in new arrivals (just stress). Feed a balanced diet every 3 days and keep water clean at 20–25°C. This article explains the checks and care.
My dog fell from a height; the right hind leg won’t touch the ground, it keeps lying down, eats and drinks, breathes a bit fast, no stool or urine. Bone fractures are ruled out; the right hind leg root/butt area hurts when pressed firmly but not lightly, and lifting the leg hurts, like pain in the leg pit. What is it, is it serious?
A fall can injure the pelvis and hip (sciatic, pubic, iliac bones) or nerves, affecting defecation and possibly causing hind-limb paralysis. A firm pelvic press causing pain fits this. Get a DR X-ray; fix if fractured, or use anti-inflammatory and NSAID painkillers conservatively.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.
Why Does a Dog Pass Green Stool?
Green stool with normal form and no other symptoms is often caused by pigment-rich food and resolves quickly. Persistent green stool may indicate gallbladder problems or colitis and warrants a vet visit.
It passed jelly-like, bloody stool and is listless; what is this and how to treat it?
Bloody jelly stool in a turtle is usually gastroenteritis from water temperature, water quality, or diet. Keep it dry-warm at 25-30C, offer clean water, and see a vet; injectable gentamicin per weight if needed. Drug dosing is critical.
