Vomiting and diarrhea, no energy, not eating, crying and whining
Not eating or drinking with vomiting and diarrhea may be acute gastroenteritis or pancreatitis; if unvaccinated, also consider canine parvovirus. Get a vet exam and targeted treatment; viral cases need antiviral plus symptomatic care.
Why are my dog’s nipples swollen?
Swollen nipples have many causes: normal pregnancy response, false pregnancy from hormone imbalance (usually resolves), or diseases like mastitis and mammary tumors needing vet care.
My roughly half-year-old Malinois seems to have eaten something too greasy — dehydrated, vomiting and diarrhea, lying down weak, body cold, moaning
From your description the dog is already dehydrated and needs prompt IV fluids at a vet, plus warmth. After first aid, run tests to find the cause. Greasy food alone rarely causes this — likely secondary gastroenteritis or pancreatitis needing targeted treatment.
Why is my dog passing watery stool?
Watery stool can stem from poor digestion, stress, parasites, bad diet, gastroenteritis, viral or bacterial infection, or liver/kidney damage. Treatment depends on the cause, so a vet exam is needed for severe cases.
My hamster’s eyes are very bulging—does anyone know what’s going on?
Bulging eyes may be from eye infection, injury, or a tumor. Bacterial infection can cause conjunctivitis and swelling; clean with saline and use anti-inflammatory eye drops. If it doesn't improve, see a vet for targeted treatment.
I’m a college student; coming home I noticed my cat is different — when feeding fish intestines its teeth seemed off, and it’s clearly thinner than before
Weight loss may come from poor nutrition or disease (parasites, digestive issues). Based only on weight loss the cause can't be confirmed. If you suspect a dental problem, take it to a vet promptly and also diagnose the cause of the thinness for targeted treatment.
My dog’s eye has been bruised, swollen, and purple. It keeps shaking its head and is vomiting.
Hello, based on your brief description I can't make an accurate diagnosis. From the photo you uploaded, the dog doesn't appear to have a serious problem, but without knowing its medical history or how long the symptoms have lasted, I can only judge that the head-shaking and vomiting are caused by a bump or possible poisoning. If the dog's head was struck and caused a concussion or head injury, it could lead to local swelling and vomiting. The owner should take the dog to a vet for a thorough examination and targeted treatment based on the results.
My cat suddenly got diarrhea without eating anything; I gave it some smectite but it didn’t help. It’s still energetic, but I don’t know why it keeps having diarrhea.
Frequent diarrhea with normal energy is usually from indigestion, gastroenteritis, or parasites. Check the food for spoilage, withhold food briefly, and give pet probiotics. If it eases, adjust the diet and feed small, frequent meals; if it persists, see a vet.

Sometimes it swells a bit and feels painful
From the photo, the lump is near the mammary glands — consider mammary hyperplasia, mastitis, or a mammary tumor. Hyperplasia causes heat, hardness, swelling, and pain and may be treated with antibiotics; a tumor shows irregular nodules. Have a vet examine and treat by cause.
