Ate spicy liver on 5/30, diarrhea and vomiting, improved after a vet shot; bathed 6/1; vomited again 6/2, tests ruled out panleukopenia, diagnosed gastroenteritis
Diarrhea and vomiting after eating irritating food is usually acute gastroenteritis, needing anti-vomiting and anti-inflammatory shots, plus fluids if fasting long. A bland diet aids recovery.
My cat is about 5 jin (2.5 kg). The day before yesterday the vet did a laryngeal exam and said the throat was red and swollen, prescribed amoxicillin-clavulanate; after a day no improvement, and today the eyes are inflamed and it has diarrhea
Symptoms (red/swollen throat, diarrhea, eye inflammation) need a detailed exam to find the cause; consider calicivirus. Blind medication without a diagnosis is ineffective and may harm; treat per results.
My puppy had diarrhea all night, no vet nearby; what to do and what medicine?
Frequent puppy diarrhea is likely gastroenteritis or viral disease; screen for infectious disease at a vet promptly, as it is life-threatening. If a visit is hard, fast one day and give anti-diarrhea medicine and probiotics, then watch. If it continues or other signs appear, see a vet to avoid danger.
My cat had vomiting/diarrhea (white foam) and a fever shot, then vet diagnosed gastroenteritis; now no diarrhea but vomiting thick yellow fluid, not eating, low energy
Have the vet determine if it's bacterial or viral gastroenteritis and follow treatment without stopping meds early. For repeated yellow-fluid vomiting, stop oral food/meds and use IV/subcutaneous fluids, then gut-repair meds, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and probiotics; feed liquid, easily digestible food later.
The vet found feline panleukopenia (distemper); after treatment the cat came home with a very big belly and sleeps a lot, but no vomiting or diarrhea
After panleukopenia, a cat's immunity drops, and stress during treatment can trigger feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), since FIP comes from mutated coronavirus. If you suspect FIP, see a vet promptly.
My 1-2 month old kitten just flew in, won’t eat or drink, has diarrhea and retching, vet mentioned low protein—is this feline panleukopenia?
Feline panleukopenia (feline distemper) is highly contagious and deadly, and a newly arrived kitten with low white cells and matching signs is likely infected, but a positive antigen test confirms it. Typical signs include fever, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea; seek systemic treatment fast.
We have two parrots, one male and one female, but I don’t know which has diarrhea; I bought cephalosporin and penicillin at the vet, but which to use and what dose? Thank you.
If unsure which parrot has diarrhea, separate and observe, or check the vent area for adhered stool. Once identified, keep it warm and give probiotics and antibiotics per label or vet advice to avoid overdose.
Dog Has Diarrhea but Still Acts Fine — What’s Going On?
A dog with diarrhea but normal energy still needs the cause found — usually parasites, a reaction to new food, bacteria, a swallowed object, or a drug side effect. At home, rest the gut with a 12–24 hour fast (water only), then a bland boiled-meat-and-rice diet reintroduced slowly over four days, plus probiotics and fiber; see a vet if it persists or a chronic issue like kidney disease is suspected.
Why Is My Cat Having Diarrhea Again?
Diarrhea is loose or unformed stool from food moving too fast through the gut to absorb water and nutrients, and it can be acute or chronic. Causes range from infections, parasites, and diet changes to stress and underlying gut disease; at home, keep water available, feed small frequent easily digested meals, and use smectite or pet probiotics for mild cases — but see a vet for blood, fever, lethargy, or ongoing diarrhea in an unvaccinated cat.
Best Ways to Treat Diarrhea in a Budgerigar
Diarrhea in budgerigars shows as watery, discolored droppings, a soiled vent, lethargy, and extra drinking — and can be fatal if ignored. Start with garlic water and warmth for a day or two, move to oxytetracycline if there's no improvement, and suspect chlamydia (psittacosis) when eye and nose discharge appear.
