Dog vomits white clear sticky fluid with foam and is weak with no appetite
Vomiting white sticky foam with low energy can mean gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, parasites or infectious disease, often from eating something unclean. Withhold food and water and give meds, but persistent vomiting needs a vet.
Some areas are scabbed, the nails look different from the usual two, a bit red with blood, can’t walk, seems to be missing a leg
Hard scabs on paw pads may be necrotic crusts from paw injury, bacterial or fungal infection, or immune disease. Get a skin scraping and puncture sampling at a vet; keep a head cone on to prevent licking and worsening.

What happens if a dog is bitten by a centipede?

Vomited twice, both like this

How can I let a kitten die without pain?
If a cat has an incurable disease and suffers long-term, euthanasia is a humane option for a painless passing. But first confirm with a vet that it's truly needed, and give it companionship and end-of-life care.
About a week ago I noticed my hamster’s belly looks rotten, the area is growing, with no injury or fighting — what disease is this and what should I do?
From the image, the hamster likely has a bacterial infection reaching the subcutaneous tissue, which is serious; take it to a vet for professional treatment. This usually needs antibacterial and antibiotic medication under a vet's guidance. Also clean and disinfect the hamster's environment to reduce bacteria.
Dog has red streaks in the eyes, is inactive, passes little soft stool, twitches while sleeping, occasionally has hiccup-like belly movements, and sleeps constantly
Based on your description, the soft stool and hiccups may be caused by gastroenteritis, and the red eyes may indicate internal heat or inflammation. You can give the dog pet probiotics to regulate the gut and withhold food for half a day, then adjust to a light, easily digestible diet. If symptoms do not improve, take the dog to a veterinary hospital to rule out underlying disease.
My dog vomited a lot of yellow watery fluid without warning after eating sausage at noon — what’s wrong?
Vomiting yellow fluid can have many causes, such as gastroenteritis, parasites, poisoning, or viral disease. Given the dog's preexisting poor appetite, an underlying gut problem is likely, so take it to a vet for fecal, abdominal ultrasound, and virus screening. If a visit is inconvenient, withhold food, and after vomiting eases give pet anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory medication; if no further vomiting, feed small frequent portions of mild foods like millet or minced-meat congee, and consult a vet if vomiting continues.
Dog is coughing but has no runny nose
Many diseases can cause coughing in dogs, including respiratory infections, pharyngitis, lung abscess, bronchopneumonia, and distemper. Owners can first observe whether the dog's urination and defecation, energy level, and appetite are normal; if everything is normal, there is likely no major problem and it may simply be due to weather changes. At the same time, carefully check the dog's throat for any foreign objects. If the cough is severe, promptly take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment.
