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.
My dog was carbon monoxide poisoned: passed out, vomited everywhere, lost bowel and bladder control; later woke up, walks unsteadily, and still has seizures.
Suspected carbon monoxide poisoning needs immediate removal to fresh air and emergency vet care with 100% oxygen and fluids. Delayed treatment risks death or brain damage; recovery may leave neurological sequelae and needs restricted activity for six weeks.
My dog is uncoordinated, drooling, panting heavily, and drinking lots of cold water.
These signs suggest poisoning or heatstroke. Check temperature; over 40 C with hot limbs and rapid breathing indicates heatstroke needing cooling and water, while suspected poisoning needs a vet and vitamin C fluids.
Drooling a bit, nose seems blocked, congested, won’t drink milk.
A stuffy nose with drooling in a kitten is a respiratory infection, possibly with calicivirus or herpes; PCR can diagnose. If it won't nurse, seek emergency care and give meds and syringe feeding with warmth.
I accidentally left it in a very cold room overnight and found it like this in the morning; it won’t let me wipe it.
A runny nose in a cat is often a cold from cold exposure, manageable with oral anti-inflammatory medication and warmth if the cat is otherwise normal. If vomiting, diarrhea, or fever appear, suspect viral infection and see a vet.
No abnormality yesterday, but this morning there is a white film on the eye. Could it be too much salt?
A whitish film on a puppy's eye may be the third eyelid (normal) or a pathological issue like keratitis or cataracts. Try anti-inflammatory eye drops; if no improvement, see a vet.
My pet rabbit started having diarrhea last night and seemed off; I gave a little norfloxacin and it got worse. What should I do?
Rabbit diarrhea with lethargy should first be checked by a vet for parasites, acute gastroenteritis, or infectious disease rather than self-medicating. Treatment depends on the cause, such as warmth for chills or probiotics for indigestion.
What happens when an adult dog gets coccidia?
Adult dogs infected with coccidia typically develop diarrhea, blood at the end of the stool, jelly-like mucus, reduced appetite, and lethargy. Severe infections can cause anemia, weight loss, and vomiting, so a fecal exam is advised.
What happens if a dog injures its internal organs?
When a dog injures its internal organs it usually shows lethargy, poor appetite, drowsiness, reluctance to move, blood in the urine or stool, difficulty breathing, pale gums, and a sensitive abdomen. Different organs produce different symptoms, so prompt veterinary diagnosis is important.
What Does a Healthy Dog Nose Look Like?
A dog's nose is usually black, pink, or patchy, with black being most common. A healthy nose feels slightly moist and cool, while a hot, dry nose can signal fever or heatstroke. Cracking with wetness around it may indicate a respiratory problem.
