After deworming my cat this morning, by afternoon it’s very sleepy, walks unsteadily, pupils sometimes dilated, low energy — but still eats, no vomiting
If a cat shows unsteady walking, sleepiness, and dilated pupils after deworming, suspect dewormer poisoning. Take it to a vet promptly — stomach pumping, IV detox, and liver/nerve support may be needed. Wipe the application site with alcohol to remove residue, and if a visit isn't possible, give water to dilute and promote excretion.
What happens if my puppy drinks too much water?
A puppy that drinks too much water may show increased urination, a swollen belly, and poor appetite, and a sudden large amount can cause bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Over time it strains the kidneys, and in extreme cases rapid overhydration causes water intoxication (low blood sodium) — lethargy, weakness, seizures, even coma. Offer moderate, clean water and avoid letting a puppy gulp excess.
Why does an old dog have incontinence?
Senior incontinence can be normal aging or disease (obesity, UTI, cystitis, kidney); see a vet if other symptoms appear.
Why is my cat suddenly drinking so much water?
Increased water intake may be from salty food or dry weather. If those are ruled out, consider diabetes or kidney disease. Diabetic cats typically show increased drinking and urination, increased appetite but weight loss. If these symptoms appear, take the cat to a vet promptly for examination and targeted treatment to avoid worsening.
What Happens If You Never Walk a Dog?
No walks means no energy outlet - weight gain, weaker joints, and boredom that can turn into chewing, barking, over-grooming, or inappropriate urination. Regular exercise matters for body and mind.
When Do Kittens Start to Defecate on Their Own?
Newborn kittens can't poop voluntarily; the mother licks the anus to stimulate it. Without her, use a cotton swab to stimulate. Most kittens defecate by themselves at 3-4 weeks.
My kitten urinates frequently with little output and now has a red, discharging urethra — what’s wrong?
Frequent litter-box trips with little or no urine, then a red urethra with discharge, suggest a urinary tract infection (and should be checked for bladder stones or pyometra). UTI signs include straining, small volumes, pain, and blood; urine may turn cloudy with mucus or pus as it worsens. See a vet for diagnosis and targeted treatment.
What happens if my Golden Retriever doesn’t drink water for a day?
Skipping water for a day can dehydrate a Golden Retriever (dry mouth, less urine, dry gums) and, in puppies, even risk kidney strain. Ongoing thirst weakens metabolism and immunity — fatigue, poor appetite, weight loss, and in severe cases danger. Long-term, concentrated urine raises urinary-stone risk. Always provide fresh water.
What happens if a dog eats too much salty food?
Too much salt makes a dog's coat rough, increases shedding and tears, and burdens the kidneys. Here is why.
What should I do if my cat’s urine is very yellow and concentrated?
Yellow, concentrated urine is often from low water intake, but urinary diseases (urethritis, cystitis) can also cause it—see a vet if urination is frequent, painful, or bloody. GI illness with vomiting or diarrhea can concentrate urine through dehydration too.
