This has lasted over ten days: swollen bridge of nose, no pain reaction when pressed, normal stool/eating, lively—allergy or something?
A swollen red nose bridge can come from bug bites, injury, infection, allergy, or parasites. For a bump from collision, clean with iodine and ice; for allergies, use anti-allergy medicine. If no improvement, see a vet.
My just-weaned puppy came home and has been passing jelly-like stool; I only gave it lactose-free milk, but its spirits are good and appetite is fine
Jelly-like mucus stool in a just-weaned pup is likely indigestion from the new environment and diet change. Feed plain congee or warm-water-softened puppy kibble, keep the diet light, and give pet probiotics to restore gut function. Keep observing; if it worsens, get a fecal exam for parasites or infection.
My cat acted oddly after work—normally lively but last night motionless, refusing food/water, licking genitals, crying, repeatedly in the box with no result, even hissed at me. I thought constipation and gave probiotics; this morning one black hard stool, still crying with airplane ears.
Black hard stool means constipation, but check for urine—no pee suggests dangerous urinary blockage needing catheterization. With anorexia and crying it's more than constipation; see a vet.
My kitten was bitten, won’t eat, vomits after a little food, can’t pass stool, and can’t walk
Based on your description - vomiting, stopped defecation, and inability to walk after being bitten by another cat - it is best to take the kitten to a veterinary hospital promptly. The kitten may have developed an illness from severe fright, and if the other cat carries a disease or virus, the kitten could become infected. Have it examined soon to understand its condition and apply the right treatment.
How can I train my dog to hold its stool?
Training to hold stool takes patience. Steps: note when it needs to go after eating, take it to the designated spot (indoor pad, outdoor grass), reward after it goes; once used to the spot, if you don't take it at the fixed time it will try to hold. Control water, avoid drinking lots before bed. Stay patient and consistent; don't scold accidents, just clean up.
Yesterday afternoon it was bitten on the left shoulder by another hamster — two blood points formed small pits, bled at first, I sprayed povidone-iodine to stop bleeding, and this morning sprayed saline and it’s now a black scab; it often makes puffing sounds and at 11 it had yellow watery stool, so I gave some isatis root
If a hamster is bitten by another, isolate it and treat the wound with saline and a pet wound spray or ointment — shave fur around first to reduce infection and ease medication, then rinse with saline and apply anti-inflammatory spray or ointment. Puffing and yellow stool may be from fright; keep the cage clean with enough bedding and toys for security.
A five-month-old puppy started having diarrhea the day before yesterday (still lively), yesterday began vomiting phlegm-like stuff, then stopped eating and drinking and became listless, and today has bloody stool and can’t walk.
Based on your description—diarrhea, vomiting, no eating or drinking, lethargy, bloody stool, can't walk—if unvaccinated, it's likely distemper or parvovirus. Get viral screening and treatment fast; these are life-threatening and home care wastes critical time.
My puppy had diarrhea and was lethargic for a day; today it perked up but then passed blood in the stool.
With diarrhea, lethargy, and blood, suspect parvo/corona/distemper if unvaccinated. Get infectious-disease and fecal screening promptly—timely care is vital.
My dog has vomited for three days, yellow fluid on days one and three and undigested kibble on day two. The vet said it looked fine and sent us home with medicine; day one of meds no vomit, but today (day two) it threw up kibble again. It has appetite, good spirits, normal stools, wet nose, no fever. What could it be?
Vomiting yellow fluid and undigested food suggests dietary upset or gastroenteritis; feed soaked hypoallergenic kibble in small frequent meals and nothing else. If it continues, get fecal, blood, and imaging tests.
After diarrhea and bloody stool, an anti-inflammatory shot, and a day of chicken breast, my dog now isn’t passing stool
Many diseases cause diarrhea/bloody stool (bacterial hemorrhagic enteritis, parasites, infectious enteritis, intestinal foreign body). If symptoms eased after the shot, keep observing for diarrhea or other signs. The gut is fragile now—feed easily digested food (millet porridge, chicken-liver porridge) and pet probiotics. If constipation continues, see a vet.
