My dog hasn’t been eating well these days, then vomits yellow fluid and yellow foam, and has soft, loose stools.
Vomiting yellow fluid and loose stools may indicate gastroenteritis or gastric ulcers; unvaccinated dogs could have a viral disease. Use broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-diarrhea and anti-vomiting meds, and probiotics; see a vet if no relief.
Cat had a week of panleukopenia shots, day 10 test is negative, but still won’t eat, occasional vomit, weak, no stool for 4 days — what now?
This is abnormal; late panleukopenia can trigger fatty liver, anemia, or pancreatitis. Appetite should return in 5–7 days. Persistent day-10 vomiting and anorexia warrants bloodwork and biochemistry to check recovery or secondary disease, then adjust treatment.
My cat had blood in the stool once with a dangling drop, now only clear fluid at the anus
Soft stool with blood may come from internal parasites, panleukopenia, indigestion, or damaged gut lining. If the cat is alert and eating, serious panleukopenia is unlikely; messy or changed food suggests indigestion - try short fasting plus probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. If not dewormed recently, get a fecal exam for coccidia, roundworms, or giardia.
My Cat Has Diarrhea (Yellow Stools), Is Lethargic, Belly Cramps, Looks Nauseous, and Breathes Rapidly
This may be panleukopenia, parasites, GI disease, or diet. Deworm and test first; gastroenteritis or pancreatitis also fit. Severe cases like panleukopenia can be fatal within a week—see a vet promptly.
My dog since yesterday won’t eat, only drinks water, keeps arching its rear, occasional clear vomit, no stool — what’s wrong?
Frequent rear-arching with persistent vomiting suggests abdominal pain; pancreatitis or parvovirus could be the cause and can worsen or turn life-threatening. Don't medicate blindly — see a vet to find the cause.
Just got the puppy, found white-yellow pasty stool, unsure when it started; now vomiting yellow fluid; gave a dose of gentamicin and a norfloxacin
White sticky loose stool suggests shed intestinal mucosa, meaning serious mucosal damage, usually acute enteritis, parasites, or infection. As a new puppy with unknown history, screen for parvovirus, coronavirus, and parasites, which your meds won't treat. Simple enteritis with okay spirits improves with probiotics and antibiotics; if not, see a vet at once.
Bought fish oil; gave some before work, forgot to close it, came back and it ate about 50-60 pills; since last night mild diarrhea, dark stool, a bit sleepy today; any problem?
Dogs must not eat excess fish oil; their digestion and liver are limited, and too much causes acute diarrhea or even gut bleeding, and dark stool suggests digestive bleeding. If spirits are fine after diarrhea, little danger; if diarrhea, sleepiness, and poor appetite continue, vitamin toxicity is possible, so go to the vet at once.
Stool was dry when first home; after some wet food it got a bit loose; does this count as diarrhea?
From the photo, the stool is loose and unformed; if spirits and appetite are good, it may be indigestion from wet food, common in cats with weak guts or new food. First fast and withhold water 6-12 hours and give pet probiotics, then slowly return to the old diet, avoiding sudden changes or new foods. If diarrhea continues, check parasites and gut flora at the vet.
Yesterday the stool was dry with blood at the end; today it’s soft stool, end with blood; what is it?
Soft stool with blood at the end may be food intolerance or indigestion causing hemorrhagic enteritis. Parasites like giardia or coccidia that common dewormers miss are also possible. Some gut bacteria or viruses like coccal enteritis or panleukopenia cause bloody stool. If the cat eats and acts well, try pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, gut-mucosa recovery, and adsorbent anti-diarrhea meds. If no full recovery after gut care and fasting, take it for fecal, blood, and infectious tests.
One-and-a-half-month kitten foamed at the mouth and vomited; taken for a shot and meds, no improvement, then diagnosed with panleukopenia at the vet, on IV fluids for 7-8 days, still eats nothing, slight bloody stool, empty gut
Panleukopenia attacks the gut lining and causes loss of appetite and ongoing vomiting, so early treatment withholds food and uses IV nutrition to prevent dehydration. The vet gives symptomatic care plus leukocyte boosters, interferon, and panleukopenia monoclonal antibody. Once vomiting, diarrhea, and blood stop, feed small amounts of liquid high-protein food and appetite-stimulating injections.
