My four-month-old kitten threw up yellow-green foamy fluid all day yesterday, has been lethargic and refusing food/water all day, with bad breath; before that it may have drunk spoiled milk (not sure) – is it just an upset stomach? I gave a little probiotics and omeprazole; should I go to the hospital?
Yellow-green foamy vomit may come from spoiled food, parasites, prolonged fasting, infectious disease, pancreatitis, hepatitis, or kidney damage. If vomiting is not frequent, withhold food and give glucose water and probiotics; spoiled milk may cause gastroenteritis, so pet anti-inflammatory helps, then feed soaked kibble in small amounts once it stops. If vomiting is frequent or with fever, arched back, pain, or lethargy, see a vet for the cause.

The right first step depends on what went in: a suspected toxin is an emergency, while a mildly irritating food can often be managed at home with fasting, fluids, and gut support. This guide explains when to head straight to the clinic, the step-by-step home care that eases symptoms, and the underlying causes—spoiled food, diet changes, or infection—that every owner should rule out, especially in unvaccinated dogs.

What to Do When Your Cat Has an Upset Stomach and Diarrhea

I hand-fed my dog a few handfuls of a sweet drink; will it upset the stomach?
Dogs should not drink soda; the high sugar can irritate the gut and cause acute gastroenteritis. A small amount usually does little harm, so watch for adverse reactions and see a vet if discomfort is significant. Normally give plain cooled or warm water instead.
How to Support a Cat with a Sensitive Stomach
Some cats have notoriously delicate digestions—the so-called glass stomach—prone to soft stools, diarrhea, and vomiting. The key to managing it is diet. Choose a limited-ingredient, single-protein hypoallergenic food, feed small meals several times a day, and always transition new food over seven days. Pet-specific probiotics (mixed into water below 40°C so the live cultures survive) help rebalance gut flora, while a calm, low-stress home prevents flare-ups. If symptoms persist or worsen, a vet check and possibly a prescription gastrointestinal diet are the right next steps.
What to Feed a Cat with a Sensitive Stomach

I fed some apple recently along with normal hamster food; this started yesterday. Today he’s energetic — is it wet tail, or a stomach issue?
From your description, the golden hamster very likely has wet tail. Weaning, environment change, diet upset, a dirty cage, or overcrowding can cause it. First control water intake and keep food fresh and the environment good; if no improvement, use gentamicin, probiotics, and antidiarrheal medication.
