My dog suddenly screamed, lowers its head when standing, arches its back, pulls in its abdomen, drops its rear, tucks its tail, is lethargic, and will not eat or sleep. It screams when picked up.
Screaming, arched back, tucked tail, and lethargy suggest a painful condition like pancreatitis, arthritis, or neuritis. A vet exam is needed for a treatment plan.
My dog suddenly stopped eating, then vomited yellow fluid at night, had loose stools, drank cold water, improved with injections, but relapsed when stopped. Now it will not eat and is listless.
Recurring vomiting and diarrhea with appetite loss suggest gastritis or digestive disorder needing a vet diagnosis. Guessing at medication can harm the dog.
My 12-year-old spayed female Cocker Spaniel had blood dripping from the urethra, frequent urination with little volume, and now white pus-like discharge. What’s the cause and treatment?
A spayed female with blood in urine, frequent scant urination, and discharge points to urinary disease such as infection, stones, or tumors. A urinalysis and abdominal X-ray at the vet are needed. For stones, ensure ample water intake.
Soft stool, no appetite, listless, had diarrhea the day before yesterday
These signs likely mean acute gastroenteritis, intestinal parasites, or panleukopenia. See a vet for diagnosis; ongoing diarrhea with low intake causes weakness, so find the cause fast.
Walked crooked after taking too much cold medicine
A little extra pet cold medicine is usually fine; unsteady walking may be from weakness. Rest and feed energy, but see a vet if it persists or overmedication causes organ issues.
Kitten won’t eat or drink, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, negative for panleukopenia, no improvement after 4 days of gastroenteritis meds, listless

Loss of smell can come from aging, illness (colds, sinusitis), medication effects, or irritating environments. If symptoms appear, take the dog to a vet for examination.
How do I treat feline rhinotracheitis at home?
Mild cases can be treated at home; severe needs a vet. For mild sneezing/runny nose/cough, give lysine and anti-inflammatories to fight the virus, plus antiviral eye drops for conjunctivitis, with good nutrition and environment care.
Eyelid redness, tearing, lots of discharge, sneezing since yesterday; energy and appetite normal, stool normal. Almost a week of saline washes and Pfizer eye ointment at onset; better for a day then red/swollen again.
The photo suggests conjunctival edema, inflammation, and mild corneal ulcer, possibly bacterial or herpesvirus. Bacterial cases improve with antibiotic drops, but long duration suggests virus. Get a vet eye exam for targeted treatment.
I gave medicine at 10 PM yesterday; it ate a little at 1 AM, but won’t eat since 2 PM today, and hasn’t had medicine today, just sleeps.
Some drugs reduce appetite as a side effect, or stress/digestive issues after dosing. Keep observing; if it does not improve or other signs appear, see a vet for diagnosis.
