When is the right time to deworm a Border Collie?
Border Collies can have their first deworming after 6 weeks; younger pups mainly drink milk and rarely go out. Use gentle dewormers for puppies. Under 6 months, deworm internally and externally monthly; over 6 months, internally every 3 months and externally monthly. Timing varies by individual and environment.
What happens if my dog eats amoxicillin by accident?
A small amount of amoxicillin usually causes only mild stomach upset—vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite—that passes soon; give water to help flush. A large amount can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and kidney or liver damage, even organ failure.
My dog ate a few garlic stalks—I read online dogs can’t eat them. Will it be okay?
Garlic stalks contain sulfides and nitrites that harm dogs, causing stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea, even hemolysis. Induce vomiting with diluted hydrogen peroxide soon after eating; if too late, watch for symptoms and see a vet if any appear.
My cat switched to a different-spec food of the same brand two days ago and now has vomiting and diarrhea — is it a cold or rejection of the new batch?
Since symptoms appeared after the switch, it's mainly the gut not adapting to the new food, causing flora imbalance and vomiting and diarrhea. Sudden changes in ingredients, taste, or hardness can upset the stomach; switch gradually. For now, fast it and give pet probiotics, then mix old and new food once improved.
After my kitten smelled the milk it kept pawing at the floor nearby but wouldn’t drink; this happened before — I gave it a clam and it smelled it then pawed the floor with its whole paw, no sound. What’s going on?
Hello, based on your description, the kitten smelled the milk, didn't drink, and pawed at the floor — this mainly points to three situations. First, the cat isn't very hungry at the moment and, smelling the food, wants to bury it to eat later. Second, the cat isn't familiar with that food and is trying to bury it. Third, the cat finds the smell unpleasant and wants to bury it quickly. Note that cats are not suited to drinking milk, which easily causes stomach upset, so a cat not drinking milk is perfectly normal behavior.
What happens if a dog eats an orange?
Oranges are rich in vitamins and fiber; a little is fine and even healthy. But they're high in sugar and acid, so too much burdens the gut and can cause diarrhea, vomiting, or belly pain. Feed in moderation; if upset, give warm water and probiotics, and see a vet if it lingers.
What happens if a dog eats a cockroach?
Cockroaches may carry bacteria, viruses, or parasites, causing stomach upset, vomiting, or diarrhea. If the roach ate roach poison, the dog may be poisoned (blue membranes, breathing trouble, seizures). Roaches also host parasites like roundworms and tapeworms, causing weight loss and diarrhea.
What fruits can’t a Husky eat?
Fruits a Husky cannot eat include grapes, avocado, cherries, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and persimmon. Grapes are very harmful to dogs; even a small amount can damage the spleen and cause acute kidney failure. Avocado contains persin, which causes stomach upset in dogs and may lead to breathing difficulty and fluid around the heart. Cherries contain cyanide, which is quite toxic to dogs. Owners must learn a dog's dietary restrictions to avoid harming it unintentionally.
Today I fed my puppy some soup egg, a bit too much yolk with only two small bits of white, and it threw up yellow stuff. Will it be okay after vomiting?
Vomiting is likely from too much yolk upsetting the gut. Fast it briefly, give pet probiotics, and watch; if it doesn't improve, see a vet. Limit yolk going forward.
What should newborn kittens eat?
Newborn kittens can only drink breast milk or goat's-milk formula, not other food, since their digestion is undeveloped. After 30–40 days they can be weaned onto kitten milk cake and kitten kibble in small, gradual amounts to avoid stomach upset.
