What happens if a dog has tapeworms?
Tapeworms can cause diarrhea, vomiting, bloody stool, weight loss, malnutrition, and abdominal pain; white, flat tapeworm segments may appear in the feces or around the anus, and the dog may scoot to relieve itching. A pet dewormer with praziquantel, albendazole, or similar can be given.
How can I check whether a kitten is healthy?
Check its coat, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth for cleanliness, its energy and appetite, and its urine and stool. A healthy kitten is lively, alert, and has well-formed stools.
Do these symptoms in the picture indicate canine parvovirus?
Parvo progresses through early, middle, and late stages with distinct signs: lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever early; jelly-like bloody, foul stool and constant vomiting mid; dullness, sunken eyes, and dehydration late. A vet test confirms diagnosis.
My cat’s belly grew large within a week, it keeps getting thinner, the abdomen feels firm not fluid-filled, still active but defecating less, occasionally loafs, no fever, clear eyes, eats less kibble but still wants human food. Is it FIP, ascites, or indigestion?
A swollen belly with overall weight loss can come from an intestinal blockage, gas, or ascites. Blockage and gas cause hard abdomen and reduced stool, while ascites may indicate FIP or low-protein liver effusion - only a vet exam can tell for sure.
Tonight its poop suddenly became abnormal, small and a bit wet, maybe from eating too much grass, or maybe from chewing the grass nest.
Eating too much fresh grass can cause soft stools in rabbits. Adjust the diet toward more hay and oral probiotics, and keep food clean to avoid spoilage.
My dog has watery diarrhea and wants to sleep after taking deworming medicine.
Loose stools and drowsiness after deworming are normal, since the medication irritates the gut as it attacks parasites. Give pet probiotics and watch for one to two days, and if diarrhea is severe, seek IV fluids at a vet.
My cat will not eat, barely defecates, and when it does it goes outside the box with a bit of blood – what’s wrong?
Not eating can be gut upset, parasites, pickiness or stress; little stool is from little food. Blood in stray stool suggests parasites or a sharp object; try soft food and probiotics, and see a vet if it persists.
Some of my rabbit’s droppings are very round, some are stuck together, they’re black, some are a bit long, and some look like they’re connected by fur
Normal rabbit droppings are usually cylindrical or slightly flattened ovals, fairly firm, uniform in size, smooth on the surface, and dark brown or black in color. Because rabbits are herbivores, the fur-like bits in the middle are most likely bits of grass stem. Also, rabbits frequently groom themselves, so some hair ends up in the stool — this is all normal. But from the photo, your rabbit's pellets are rather small, which may point to slightly insufficient water intake; make sure it always has plenty of water, and occasionally offer vegetables like carrot or celery to add moisture.
