What happens if a puppy gets babesiosis?
Babesiosis, also called piroplasmosis, is mainly spread by tick bites and affects dogs and cats. Infected puppies may show poor appetite, weight loss, fever, lethargy, and vomiting, plus anemia signs like blood in urine.
Kitten was fine when first brought home, but started vomiting the next day with clear fluid and white foam, refusing food, listless for three days, vomiting 2 to 3 times daily, sometimes yellow; never ate, threw up a few kibbles, ate some cat strips and hairball paste, water never cut off. Gave amoxicillin on day three, still vomiting, ate some chicken breast, vomited green fluid at night, then started having diarrhea.
Based on your description, vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and diarrhea are most likely caused by enteritis or feline panleukopenia (distemper) virus infection. Because symptoms appeared shortly after bringing the kitten home, it may be a so-called week-old kitten from an unreliable source.
Why does my dog make a ‘click-click’ (honking) sound?
The 'click-click' sound may come from eating too fast, intense exercise, a throat obstruction, improper feeding, or coughing. A quick eater may choke; a stuck object in the throat can cause it; brief dry coughs after exercise are normal.

What happens if my dog has worms (internal parasites)?
Internal parasites usually cause poor appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, scooting, and dry coat. Worms can damage the intestinal lining, leading to blood, jelly-like mucus, and eggs in the stool.
Why does my 2-month-old puppy have jelly-like soft stool?
Jelly-like stool indicates damaged, bleeding intestinal lining, possibly from indigestion, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viruses. See a vet for diagnosis; mild cases may need fasting and probiotics.
