Why does an Exotic Shorthair have bloody stool?
Bloody stool in an Exotic Shorthair can be digestive problems like infection or ulcer, or parasite infection, abdominal trauma, or tumors. With other signs like vomiting, poor appetite, or weight loss, take it to the vet, who can test the stool and examine to find the cause and treat it.
My dog started vomiting on the afternoon of July 28; the first two were food, then after water it was clear fluid; by July 30 it stopped vomiting but had a little bloody stool, a drop or two each time; yesterday no blood but loose stool, no appetite, lies down a lot
Vomiting, bloody loose stool, poor appetite, and lethargy are common in digestive disease: parasites, bacterial or viral enteritis; if vaccines are incomplete, suspect parvovirus or coronavirus. See a vet for screening, fecal and blood tests; if something was eaten, rule out foreign-body blockage or perforation by X-ray and ultrasound, then treat with antivirals, antibiotics, hemostatics, anti-emetics, antidiarrheals, and fluids.
I just found a kitten, looks only 4 to 5 days old, eyes not yet open, sneezing often; found last night, passed a little stool, none today, only a little urine
Frequent sneezing in a just-found kitten is usually a cold or respiratory infection from chill or weak immunity. Since its eyes are not open, avoid hasty medication; feed kitten-specific goat milk formula every two hours by hand. A stray kitten that ate little having little excretion is normal, but such motherless kittens are hard to keep alive and need patient care; with many problems, take it to a vet.
My dog was excited before eating, then lethargic after, lies still, eats only a little meat, passed soft stool with faint blood, then whines, sits restlessly, and keeps pawing at its face
Based on the signs, the dog likely has an esophageal or gastrointestinal blockage from eating too fast or hard food like bones, causing throat pain and restlessness (hence pawing the face). If choking, use the Heimlich maneuver; it may also be allergy or acute gastritis, or parasites/parvovirus. See a vet for a full check.
My dog started coughing last night, then retching, then vomiting clear sticky fluid with white foam; stool not loose but a bit black; gave anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, and probiotics; still coughing and vomiting about every ten minutes, sometimes productive, sometimes not
Coughing up white foam is usually phlegm from a respiratory infection caused by chills, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, or chronic bronchopneumonia; retching may be throat discomfort or gut infection. Have the vet diagnose the cause; if not, try doxycycline for cough, plus pet anti-inflammatory, and keep warm. If weak, poor appetite, lethargic, or feverish, check the lungs and rule out contagious disease.
My dog started a dry cough around 5 to 6 pm and it worsened, but was lively before; it stays in a hot factory by day and an AC room at night — could it be a cold? I also overfed it and the stool is loose
The dog may have an upper respiratory infection from bacteria or the big temperature swing between the hot factory and the AC room. Cough can also signal asthma, pneumonia, or other viral airway disease; a cold is a symptom, not a disease. Try a pet cough/anti-inflammatory medicine and keep it warm; see a vet if no improvement.
My Two-Month-Old Cat Was Brought Home the Day Before Yesterday, Fed Cat Food Directly Without Transition, Now Has Yellow Stools and Low Energy. Can I Give It Probiotics, and Should I Withhold Food?
Cat diarrhea is usually caused by parasites, bacterial enteritis, food-change indigestion, or panleukopenia. If the cat's energy and appetite are normal, the cause is likely indigestion from the new environment or food, and short fasting with anti-diarrhea and anti-inflammatory medication may help.
It Is 36 Days Old, Came Home Last Night, Ate Only a Little, Stools Are Formed but the Tail End Is Slightly Watery, Head Keeps Tucking Back into Its Wings, Feathers Feel Slightly Puffed Up
Based on your description and the photo, the parrot may have soft stools, reduced appetite, shivering, timidity, and puffed feathers, which could be stress-induced enteritis from a new environment or long transport, or enteritis from carried pathogens or parasites.
What does normal Border Collie stool look like?
Normal stool is brown or yellow-brown, a firm complete log—not too soft or dry—with mild odor, 1–3 times daily. Abnormal color/shape/smell/count means see a vet and possibly a fecal test.
Why Does My Dog Have Soft Stools, and What to Do
Soft stools often come before diarrhea and hurt gut health. Common causes are a sudden food switch, parasites, a greasy diet, or mild enteritis - each with its own fix. Act early.
