Vomiting and diarrhea for a day, I don’t know what happened.
Cat vomiting and diarrhea have many causes - gastroenteritis, viral infections like panleukopenia, pancreatitis, hepatitis, internal parasites. Get a hospital test; once panleukopenia is ruled out, treat routinely with an anti-emetic, anti-diarrhea medicine, and antibiotics, then probiotics.
Toy poodle, about 4 kg, poor appetite, vomiting white foam.
A dog vomiting white foam, refusing food, and having a poor appetite should be taken to a pet hospital promptly to check for parvovirus, distemper, or coronavirus infection. If the symptoms are not from a viral infection, they may come from gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, indigestion, or internal parasites.
Puppy with jelly-like stool full of worms after diarrhea – what is the cause?
Persistent diarrhea with worms and poor appetite suggests severe internal parasite infestation causing gastroenteritis, and secondary parvovirus cannot be ruled out. Have the vet screen for infectious disease; if not viral, continue the prescribed antidiarrheal and consider fluids, electrolytes and antibiotics.
It vomited yellow foam in the morning and now is vomiting clear water. What causes this?

My dog is foaming at the mouth and has blood in its stool.

My dog ate honey, vomited all night, and now has dark purple stool. What should I do?
Dark purple stool is a sign of hemorrhagic enteritis, possibly bacterial or viral. If the stool is foul-smelling and vaccines are incomplete, test for parvovirus or coronavirus. If viral infection is ruled out, it may be diet or parasites.
How long should a dog with coronavirus fast?
Canine coronavirus damages the gut and causes enteritis. If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, fast about 8 hours; if not, no fasting since long fasting harms gut function. During fasting give fluids and antivirals, then small easily digestible food when improved.
What is normal dog stool like?
Normal stool is a moderately firm long cylinder, yellow-brown, 1 to 3 times daily. Too dry means constipation from low water or slow motility, so add greens and exercise. Soft stool means indigestion, treat with probiotics; watery stool suggests infection needing a vet.
My dog’s stool was normal at first, but last night it had water mixed into the poop.
Watery stool is diarrhea, possibly from parasites, indigestion, or gastroenteritis, not necessarily parvovirus. Fast half a day with probiotics and light diet; if no improvement, use medication or vet testing.
I bathed it the day before yesterday; it started vomiting the next day several times, and now today it has diarrhea.
