My two-month-old kitten won’t eat, is thin but lively and playful, and spits out kibble put in its mouth.
It may dislike the food—soak kibble in warm water/goat milk or switch kitten food/wet food. Watch stool for softness, worms, blood, or vomiting; if present, see a vet for parasites.
My 5-week-old puppy suddenly vomited, went limp, and won’t eat or drink
Vomiting, weakness, refusal to eat or drink, and loose stools in such a young, unvaccinated puppy mean contagious diseases must be ruled out first. Get a veterinary contagious-disease screening immediately; if positive, treat at once. If negative, further tests are needed to find the cause.
I picked this up today and feel its bottom looks strange. Is it sick?
The photo shows an swollen anus, likely perianal inflammation from frequent licking, chronic constipation, or diarrhea. Try pet anti-inflammatory oral meds and ointment, keep it clean, and deworm if worms appear in stool.
Around 8 PM I gave the cat a piece of chicken breast, and at 8:40 it suddenly vomited and threw up a lot of white foam – what’s the cause?
White foam vomiting has many causes: indigestion, excess stomach acid, gastritis. Chicken breast can cause indigestion; unclean or un-fresh meat can cause vomiting and soft stool. First fast it and give pet probiotics; watch. If no relief, give pet anti-inflammatory and antiemetic. If still abnormal, see a vet.
Over-one-month-old cat with green watery diarrhea, poor appetite, low spirits, always lying down; what is wrong?
A one-month-old with green watery diarrhea, no eating, and lethargy may have indigestion, enteritis, or panleukopenia; irregular feeding harms the gut. Such a kitten needs only milk or formula.
50-day kitten, just home, slept, then vomited and had diarrhea, ate little; at the seller it ate; back home won’t eat, vomited undigested kibble and diarrhea; panleukopenia test one line
A new environment can cause stress vomiting and diarrhea, which usually eases as the cat adapts. Use the old food to test appetite; one line on the test means no panleukopenia.
Why does a cat keep vomiting?
White foam and soft stools are mainly from indigestible or spoiled food, fast eating, stress, hairballs, parasites, or gastroenteritis. Try fasting and probiotics first.
I don’t know if it’s parasites or indigestion – should I go to the vet?
Vomiting undigested food with yellow-brown fluid and soft stool first suggests indigestion. If energy is good, fast briefly and give probiotics; see a vet if no improvement.
My dog loves licking my hands and feet and hates the crate.
If diarrhea appears after internal deworming, it is usually normal and resolves in 1 to 2 days; give probiotics. Persistent or severe cases need a vet.
What if a cat eats too much nutritional paste?
Too much nutritional paste can cause obesity, digestive upset, and picky eating. Follow dosage and use it as a supplement, not a staple.
