Why is my cat having diarrhea?
Diarrhea usually means a digestive problem from food intolerance, parasites, bacteria, or viruses. Watch frequency and spirits; if good and not frequent, give pet probiotics and kaolin. If frequent with listlessness and no appetite, take it for tests to tell virus, parasite, or bacteria apart; parasite and bacterial enteritis improve in days, viral is worse.
No energy, vomited, won’t eat
Dog vomiting has many causes: gastritis, intestinal blockage, pancreatitis, parasites, viral disease, liver/gallbladder disease. If unvaccinated, rule out distemper or parvovirus. See a vet for tests; if infectious, use antivirals promptly. If just enteritis, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic shots plus a light diet for a few days usually recover.
I found a stray kitten about a month old; after meals it passes brown soft stools, is energetic and eats well.
Brown soft stools in a young cat may be enteritis—bacterial, stress-related, parasitic, or viral. Good spirits don't rule out a virus not yet full-blown. Get a CBC, biochemistry, fecal, and virus screening; if vet isn't handy, try amoxicillin, bismuth subcarbonate, and probiotics for two days.
Cat has diarrhea, yellow-white urine, no appetite, cannot stand
Diarrhea may be from enteritis, stress, bad diet, parasites, or viruses, needing fecal and blood tests to diagnose. White urine usually means a urinary tract infection.
My one-month-old kitten had normal stool, then soft stool, and now diarrhea with blood – what should I do?
Bloody diarrhea in a kitten may be hemorrhagic enteritis or a virus such as panleukopenia. Have a vet rule out distemper, then use appropriate medication and a hypoallergenic diet.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
My dog keeps vomiting yellow water with blood and won’t eat anything
Persistent vomiting of yellow water with blood is mainly considered from intestinal foreign bodies, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral infection — all damage the gut and cause bleeding. If spirits and appetite are good and stools normal, try gut-regulating medicine. If no relief or the dog is weak, get a detailed vet exam.
My dog hasn’t eaten for four days and vomits up anything forced in within minutes, even water; its nose is very dry
Not eating for four days with vomiting water may be acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or viral disease; prolonged fasting causes electrolyte imbalance and dehydration, life-threatening. Take to vet for IV fluids to stabilize. Get blood, imaging, biochemistry to tell if simple digestive issue or high-risk disease (distemper, parvovirus), then treat.
What causes weakness in a dog’s limbs?
Limb weakness can come from nutrient deficiency, injury, viral infection, acute gastroenteritis, or acute kidney failure. Low calcium or vitamins cause inability to stand; ligament sprains, twists, or fractures hinder standing; distemper, parvovirus, and acute conditions also cause it. See a vet if it persists.
What medicine should I give a dog with rectal inflammation?
For rectal inflammation, use a pet-specific oral anti-inflammatory plus a gut-mucosa repair medication, and manage the diet per vet advice. Ordinary enteritis usually clears in 3–5 days; if viral, antiviral treatment plus symptom relief is needed.
