My cat received a prednisone shot due to licking of hair on chest. Behavior has changed within the week. Eats only wet food and is sleeping on the stairs and rug in the basement. Seems very depressed. She won’t eat snacks or dry food.
The first 2 days started with a large amount of vomit early in the a.m. not normal fur ball vomit but a watered down milk consistency with fur in it. Day 3 brought on vomiting throughout the day and refusal to eat. Also stopped using the bathroom. Day 4 vomit is yellow in color now still with fur, still refusing to eat, still hasn’t used the bathroom. Just sleeps and vomits. What can I do?
My 5 month old puppy has a decreased appeitite for the last 5 days and had stopped eating since last night and only drinks a little water and vomits clear liquid. Please help.
I’ve lost a dog to parvo, and this is exactly what happened with her.
Actually, we lost 5 dogs on my block because of it.
Please get your pup some medical attention asap!
If you can’t this very minute, offer him pedialite to keep him hydrated until you can(still get him in ASAP!)
Praying for the lil guy/girl ?
Thank you for your prayers for my baby, but sadly he passed this morning
Thank you for your advice, but sadly my baby passed this morning
So I thought he was making himself throw up to eat again. Because he doesn’t really cry or seem in pain. But I switched his food to see if that would help. But lately he’s been throwing up way more, and it’s mostly just clear and a small amount of white foam, and sometimes some food mixed in. He still doesn’t seem in pain and doesn’t cry. Sometimes he gags to get it out, other times he will literally just be walking and a small amount will come out. He’s also been drinking quite a bit of water lately. And urinating quite a bit when he goes outside. But other than these symptoms, he seems completely fine.
Dogs don’t make themselves throw up in order to get it to eat it again. Throwing up for extended period of time, particularly after a meal is a concern.
If stomach content comes out “on its own” without any heaving, it’s called regurgitation. That can have its own set of causes, such as megaesophagus, which is pretty serious stuff. Is he losing any weight? Reasons for vomiting can range from issues in the digestive system itself to systemic problems such as kidneys or liver.
With your set of symptoms, please do take him to a vet and have this diagnosed so you can treat it accordingly.

I am a cat foster mom. I currently have a little 8 week old calico kitten that has URI. It was real bad when I first got her and had to hand feed her. She is now eating and drinking fine but her breathing is horrible. She is gasping alot and it has me worried. She is currently on Amoxicillin and I am using a humidifier to try to help her breathing.
she is wheezing a lot and not sleeping her eyes are open, and her nose is dry, sometimes when i come by she wags her tail, she vomitted about 30min after we arrived home, she will not eat or drink. Is this normal for post surgery day?
the not drinking would worry me, so i’d take her to your vet – every new pet should be seen by your vet within 3 days of coming home, anyway.
I have a 1 year cat that is bleeding from his mouth. he is still eating and drinking water. his mood has not changed. playful and spunky. what can I do to stop the bleeding.
thank you for the info. I said it was his tooth. its not bleeding bad and he has not changed at all. the same playful baby I fell in love with. he still eats him food. should I change from his regular food to soft food.
Another vet said she did not need surgery. When I took Luna in to have surgery, I was told she did not need any extractions, just cleaning. Luna has been fine until a few days ago. She is now experiencing pain again while eating.
my little dog has had dairra for the past 4 day and half the time he trys but he cant poop he looks like he is in stress trying i cant get him to eat hardly or drink water he isnt acting like him self at all
4 days with diarrhea is too long. please take him to your vet today.
He needs to go to a vet ASAP!!
Yesterday I noticed she has an inflamed vulva, and today there is brown discharge from her urethra. She is normally fairly mellow with bursts of energy (she is a 9 month old pup after all), but today she has slept all day and barely left the couch. She feels warm, but I do not have a thermometer specifically for her so I can’t determine if she has a fever.
I’m not sure if this is related, but yesterday morning and the night before she threw up after meals. She was eating faster than usual because we were visiting a home with another dog, so she wanted to finish eating so they could play. I suspected that was the cause, but I don’t want to leave it out just in case.
There are no emergency veterinarians in or near the small town I live in so I’m very anxious if something is wrong!
has she gone into heat before? i’m not a vet, but a suddenly fluffy vulva (and THANK YOU for using the correct term!) and brownish discharge would make me think it’s a heat cycle.
She is spayed, and as far as I know she never had a heat cycle before the operation. Unfortunately I don’t know for sure because I adopted her from a rescue who spayed her before adoption. Thanks for the quick answer!
hmm. that was my only thought. it’s possible she’s dealing with a UTI. i’d get her in first thing tomorrow morning unless one of the resident vets pops in with another idea.
Thanks! 🙂 I was planning on it, just wanted to get a quicker opinion since she won’t be able to be seen until tomorrow morning at the earliest.
The vulva is an organ designed to clean its various anatomical structures by creating discharge. For this reason the discharge itself is not problematic it is the color and odor. The color and odor indicates the level of infection or presence of unhealthy microbes, UTI, Etc. I do not have a course of action to recommend, I believe a veterinarian’s diagnoses is required until you more fully understand what this type of discharge represents. Your dog’s temperature is great measure to the level of immune system activity and infection, so knowing your dog’s temperature now combined with the vet’s diagnoses will give a valuable benchmark for the next event. I would recommend becoming an expert in your dog’s temperature during the treatment process for future use. This type of ailment tends to reappear but at numerous levels of severity, being able to determine via temperature combined with the color and odor should assist you in future treatment decisions.
can you get hold of a nausea pill .,electrolytes and purbac antibiotics at a chemist
Vet time. Could be an impacted hairball, could be something else, but your vet really needs to see your cat TODAY. 4 days is a LONG time without food, and cats really can’t go without for too long without serious health problems as a result.
