Could my hamster have wet-tail disease? Its stool sticks to its body and smells, and it sleeps at night
Wet-tail shows as damp, dirty, foul tail base, watery stool, lethargy, slow movement, squinting eyes; with these, see a vet. From the photo the stools are still formed, so watch closely—if energy is okay, try gut probiotics, warm the room, and add toys; it should slowly recover.
My one-year-old blue-and-white cat has a pale nose since yesterday, eats only wet food and treats, has soft formed stool, and is low-energy—what is wrong?
Based on the signs—anemia, poor appetite, pickiness, lethargy, soft stool—the pale nose suggests anemia, but many diseases cause it; it may be a chronic condition like chronic enteritis, hepatic lipidosis, FIP, or parasites. Get a thorough vet check.
My two-month-old kitten just came home and isn’t adapting; she barely touches her goat-milk formula and her recent stools are watery and bloody—what should I do?
Bloody diarrhea can come from gut infection, parasites, or viruses. If the kitten is energetic, a virus is less likely; hard-to-digest food or a sudden food change can cause it—give pet probiotics, and see a vet if no relief. Tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, or coccidia also cause it and need fecal testing and deworming.
My dog had a fever of 39.7°C with yellow nasal discharge; after three days of vet shots the fever rose to 39.9°C, though it eats, drinks, and stools normally and the thick discharge is gone—what should I do?
Recurring fever often means a persistent infection; frequent antipyretics can hinder the immune response, so try alcohol-rub physical cooling on the ears, paws, and inner thighs. Still, get a clinical work-up—PCR for distemper and a blood test for parasites.
Why is my puppy’s stool like this—is it serious?
Yellow, undigested, loose stool usually comes from hard-to-digest food or a weak gut—high-carb or spoiled items like spoiled goat milk, beans, corn, rice, or bread. Sudden changes in environment, food, vaccination, or deworming can also trigger it; fast the dog and offer probiotics, and see a vet if it looks unwell.
Why does my goldfish have white stool?
White stool causes: sudden temp change, overfeeding, poor diet, big/poor water changes, oppressive environment. Big temp drop → indigestion → white stool. Irregular feeding → indigestion. Manage water quality, keep temp/water suitable, feed reasonably.
My dog hasn’t eaten much for 4–5 days, tongue is pale, sluggish, won’t move, urine is rusty/bloody, stool is green. What’s wrong?
Per description/image: dark soy-sauce urine, low appetite, pale tongue mucosa—possible causes: 1) onion/leek/scallion poisoning dissolving red cells → proteinaceous hematuria with Heinz bodies, severe anemia. 2) Blood protozoa (Babesia from ticks) → need imidocarb + transfusion/hematinic. 3) Leptospirosis → hematuria, subcutaneous bleeding, secondary pancreatitis/kidney damage. 4) Kidney damage bleeding (kidney failure, urinary/bladder infection). Any is urgent—needs vet diagnosis with professional equipment.
My foundling orange kitten had normal stool first day on kibble, then diarrhea; only fed kibble and lactose-free milk, gave smecta and probiotics, improved, then relapsed after stopping smecta; no fever/vomit, eats/sleeps well but diarrhea; today a bit of blood.
Give pet probiotics for diarrhea; avoid dairy (even lactose-free). If no improvement plus blood, likely parasite-induced enteritis—get a fecal test first to identify the parasite, then choose dewormer (giardia/coccidia need specific drugs, common dewormers don't work; both cause persistent bloody diarrhea; also roundworm/tapeworm). Severe bleeding: oral anti-inflammatory. If blood/diarrhea with low appetite/fever/lethargy, check for panleukopenia.
My dog had a little blood in its stool last time—what could it be?
Per the image, dark red loose stool; if unvaccinated/undewormed, likely parvo or parasites. Possibly ate hard/indigestible food, intestinal scrape, or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. See a vet for targeted treatment. Parvo signs: diarrhea, vomiting, foul coffee/tomato-colored stool, low appetite, lethargy, fever—low cure rate without targeted meds. If can't go to hospital, give anti-inflammatory, gut mucosa repair, probiotics; mild bleeding may recover.
My Bichon started having bloody, jelly-like stool but still has great appetite and energy—what should I do?
Bloody, jelly-like stool may be acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral infection. Normal spirits suggest early stage—see a vet promptly. Gastroenteritis needs anti-inflammatory and probiotics; parasites (often coccidia) need sulfa drugs; viruses (parvo/corona) need antivirals like interferon and serum.
