My cat’s stool was like mud, then diarrhea with mucus and blood—what disease is this?
Mud-like stool with mucus and blood likely means enteritis or parasite infection. First, bacterial or viral enteritis—if unvaccinated, panleukopenia risk is high, so get a test and blood work. Second, coccidia or Giardia damage the gut lining and cause bleeding; diagnose by fecal exam and abdominal ultrasound, then deworm and treat with anti-inflammatories.
My dog started vomiting on the afternoon of July 28; the first two were food, then after water it was clear fluid; by July 30 it stopped vomiting but had a little bloody stool, a drop or two each time; yesterday no blood but loose stool, no appetite, lies down a lot
Vomiting, bloody loose stool, poor appetite, and lethargy are common in digestive disease: parasites, bacterial or viral enteritis; if vaccines are incomplete, suspect parvovirus or coronavirus. See a vet for screening, fecal and blood tests; if something was eaten, rule out foreign-body blockage or perforation by X-ray and ultrasound, then treat with antivirals, antibiotics, hemostatics, anti-emetics, antidiarrheals, and fluids.
My dog was fine this morning, but by afternoon its anus was swollen and red, with diarrhea but no blood
Diarrhea likely caused anal redness and inflammation; long diarrhea irritates and infects the skin around the anus, causing redness, pain, and even prolapse. See a vet to find the diarrhea cause. Bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral enteritis all cause diarrhea with different treatments, needing vet-guided antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and gut-restoring medicine, fasting, and fluids to prevent dehydration.
My puppy vomited pink foam with some blood streaks; it can’t get comfortable, keeps whimpering, and cries when touched
Pink foamy vomit with blood may mean: 1. stomach irritation or inflammation from irritants, foreign objects, or bones, with poor appetite and belly pain; 2. gastrointestinal bleeding from ulcers, tumors, infection, or parasites, with poor appetite, bloody stool, anemia; 3. viral enteritis like parvovirus, with diarrhea and bloody stool. Whatever the cause, first withhold food and water and take the dog to a vet promptly.
Cat Has Diarrhea and Vomiting, Then Bloody Urine After Probiotics
Vomiting and diarrhea can come from diet, bacterial or viral enteritis, or parasites. Blood in urine also suggests urinary or hemolytic problems needing prompt care.
How long does a dog’s gastric bleeding take to heal?
Causes vary; simple hemorrhagic gastroenteritis with fluid, hemostasis and gut repair usually improves in 3 to 5 days. Viral enteritis like parvo can be fatal quickly without treatment, so see a vet early.
What should I do if my kitten won’t eat, is lethargic and vomiting?
A kitten that won't eat, is lethargic and vomits usually has a gut problem — bacterial or viral enteritis, or intestinal parasites. Take it to a vet to confirm the cause. First, if unvaccinated, test for feline distemper with a strip; distemper mimics gastroenteritis with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, appetite loss, fever and can be fatal in ~10 days without treatment. If no distemper, it's usually gastroenteritis or parasites — treat the symptom and use probiotics.
Why does my dog pass black stool but stay very active?
Black stool can come from too much organ meat or raw meat, digestive bleeding, or viral enteritis/distemper. If the dog is lively, the likely cause is excess organ meat and iron intake.
What should I do if my puppy has diarrhea, vomiting, and won’t eat?
Take a puppy with diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite to the vet promptly, do not medicate blindly. The cause could be many things; in an unvaccinated puppy it is often viral enteritis, which is common and dangerous, so early diagnosis matters.
What does cat diarrhea look like?
Normal stool is firm and cylindrical; diarrhea is soft, loose, or watery with a stronger odor. Causes include parasites and bacterial/viral enteritis. Bloody or tarry stool suggests panleukopenia—see a vet at once.
