Hamster has diarrhea.
Causes: bad diet, indigestion, gastroenteritis. Too much watery fruit/veg causes it - stop those, observe. Give probiotics; if no relief, oral smectite; if still bad, see a vet.
The puppy got constipated the second day after arriving home; it drank goat milk formula.
Puppy constipation after goat milk formula is often from internal heat due to overly concentrated mixing. Control the powder-to-water ratio, encourage drinking, and add pumpkin, greens, or banana after 3 months to aid digestion.
It eats/drinks normally but sneezes, coughs, retches.
Sneezing/coughing/retching may be upper respiratory disease; if energy/appetite/stools normal, observe. Strong smells (perfume, disinfectant) cause allergic sneezing - keep air fresh. If persistent, vet respiratory screening, maybe injectable antivirals.
Please check if my hamster has wet tail?
Wet tail signs: wet tail, lethargy, poor appetite, hunched back, dehydration. Watch stools; frequent diarrhea likely means wet tail. From bacteria/parasites/fungi or dirty environment; highly contagious - isolate. Treat with gentamicin, probiotics, anti-diarrhea; delay is fatal.
Cat has pimple-like bumps on the body – is it panleukopenia? Not sure.
Panleukopenia infects the gut, causing vomiting, diarrhea, blood, fever, low appetite, lethargy - not skin bumps. The bumps may be nipples or pimple from skin/parasite infection. If eating/stools/energy normal and no vomiting/diarrhea, panleukopenia is ruled out.
2-year hamster very sleepy lately; plays then sleeps; wakes when touched but resumes sleeping. Old age or sickness? One eye opens only halfway.
Hamsters are naturally sleepy; if eating/stools normal, it's fine. If constantly sleeping, food untouched, thinning, it's sickness; half-open eye suggests eye disease/infection - clean, medicate, or see a vet.
Kitten passes white sticky substance; was pale yellow then white – cause? What medicine? Urgent!
White sticky stool may be shed intestinal mucosa from enteritis (parasites, virus like panleukopenia/corona, acute bacterial gastroenteritis). Find cause; if can't visit, fast half a day, give pet anti-inflammatory and probiotics; if no improvement, see a vet.
Dog vomits yellow liquid and has bloody diarrhea but is energetic – what?
Likely acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. If energetic, fast 24h, then probiotics and gut/anti-vomit meds; after, small soft food. If continues, consider parasites, foreign body, or infection - see a vet.
Why does my cat keep squatting like a brooding hen?
Not always illness; analyze with eating, energy, temperature, breathing, pain. FIP causes it with fever, fluid, no appetite; pancreatitis causes abdominal pain; acute gastroenteritis; kidney/stone/blockage also. See a vet if energy/appetite are off.
My dog has been home for over a week and barely eats, only drinking water – what could be wrong?
A newly arrived dog may lose its appetite because it feels uneasy in an unfamiliar environment. If poor appetite persists for a week, a health issue such as digestive discomfort should be considered. Offer different foods to test its interest and watch its energy and stool; if it refuses everything, see a vet.
